If he was “jaywalking” across a “marked crosswalk” then he wasn’t “jaywalking”.

California has traditionally given drivers tickets for not stopping when a pedestrian is in a crosswalk - assuming of course if there is a light and the pedestrian has the green light. If there is no light then the pedestrian has the right…

I have never seen a custom Corvette (Kustom Korvette?) that looked as good as factory. And 80,000 miles - with that spoiler - I’ll bet those are hard miles.

Funny fact back in the 70s-80s when so many 911 owners wanted to install that monstrous whale tail, they forgot that was only 50% of the equation. Porsche also…

As my late father would say, “There’s some business that you really don’t need or want”

Always cracked me up that it was rated at 290 hp. I had a 67 Camaro with a 327 that was rated at 275. Listening to the 2 idle my car sounded like a pussycat. Listening to the 302 - with solid lifters - that thing sounded like a race car. I heard it was closer to 400 on the Dyno.

Looks like an original black plate CA car - wonder why it is so rusty? Wonder if it lived along the coast? I once saw a San Diego car that lived at an apartment right on San Diego’s Sunset Cliffs, and it could teach a Minnesota car a thing or 2 about proper rust.

Would be a cool car all restored.

As for Paul’s…

So, you have a fender-bender with your Fisker, what are you going to do? For that matter, you need a small part...

I have seen several. And when I come up behind one, I can’t get over the impression that they aren’t even good looking. Of course YYMV but to me they look like a box on wheels, particularly from the back. Guess I have seen 5-6 on the road now.

I lost - so there.

I have 3 old Mercedes and have no plans to get a newer car. The newer ones really push 4 cylinder engines with turbos - and in the real word my V8 engines are a lot simpler (a lot less to go wrong) and get nearly the same mileage. That and thinks like Colin mentioned like stop-start which to me is an annoyance.

It seems there are a number of people who will do anything, including endangering those around them, just to get “hits” on social media. I guess things finally caught up to him.

What parameters are used in “best in the world”? Simplicity and reliability? Maybe Toyota and Honda. But a YouTuber, The Car Care Nut, a Toyota Master Mechanic, warns would be buyers of the LS series to stay away from the LS460 and stay with the LS430. Too complicated and too much stuff going out.

Fro many years I’d…

I’d propose any Detroit car up through the 70s - maybe 80-s. I can remember my father getting new cars and then after a week or so of listening to squeaks and rattles made a list to take back and get the “bugs” out.

Ditto on the German plastics. The plastic interior bits on my R129 SL will disintegrate if you touch them wrong. And the bumper on my W210 E Class is so brittle after 24 years you touch a car in front of you and it will crack.

Without looking up the history of the V Tailed Bonanza (which the illustration doesn’t even show) as I recall it is a relatively safe plane as long as it is flown in its envelope (as all planes). It was made from about 1948 though the 1980s which should tell you something.

Somebody mentioned Buddy Holly - yes it was a…

That is what FAA mandated annual inspections do - look at the structural integrity 

and the above illustration is not a V-Tailed Bonanza

wonder why? 

Years ago when I had a carry permit I found myself in the airport lobby - with the pistol in my jacket pocket.

This is a Federal offense - not a state or city offense.

Didn’t happen again.

They don’t have to have the audio. I know what was said ;-)
From the video it looks like he was just swerving into the oncoming lane (and could the truck driver have just turned the wheel a little to the right to avoid a near catastrophe?)

Don’t think the wheel chair is going to help him.

It was amazing that the hitch…

If those had been issued by a legal law enforcement entity with all the tack-ons the fine would easily be $300-$400. I still don’t understand if they don’t have the legal authority to do this why pay the ticket? If they are trying to damage your credit score couldn’t you sue them? What’s the difference if I, private…

I asked a Mercedes salesman how many of the G-Wagons he’s sold go off road? He laughed and said....none.

I suppose this would fit right in to Beverly Hills - in the middle of the Outback, the most impractical SUV imaginable.
