At least in my experience, their dealers are still trying to push the cheapest cars possible. I went into a Kia dealership for a test drive of a year old Optima EX, and they kept trying to push me into a Forte around the same price. They’re the same price, why the hell would I take a smaller car with less features?!

I think it’s just because you don’t notice what’s happening since you’re not expecting it to happen. One time in a rental car, I drove it into the mulch in front of my parking spot because I put it into drive rather than reverse, gently pressed the accelerator, and didn’t even realize I was moving forward until the…

(You’re missing that it’s a reference to comments people make after a mass shooting about “not wanting to politicize a tragedy.”)

So like “The One with Joey’s Porsche,” but with Ferraris?

HA. That’s great. I feel like patting down a man and realizing you’re accidentally patting down his dick would be extremely awkward, but the unexpectedness of patting down a woman and realizing you’re accidentally patting down her dick is probably mortifying... and a good way to get the cop to want to wrap up quickly.

Penn State’s bike registration was probably one of the biggest amenities I missed when I went to a different school for grad school. The system is just so simple! The free registration sticker (and record of your serial number) to be able to prove ownership, and the fact that bikes with expired registrations would get…

I’m white, so frankly I’m probably not going to have this issue, but proving ownership is part of the reason I keep my old Penn State bike permit sticker on my bike. Even though the school probably doesn’t have my registration record anymore, it’s incredibly unlikely that someone in Canada (where I live now) is going…

I’m mildly disappointed because my plate is in the last of the old series of plates (beginning with KK). If the dealership had gone through their old series supply, I’d have a “KL” plate that has the PA outline in the top left corner.

The fine distinction is that to use a road as a “through street,” you have to traverse it completely. If you’re not a resident of that road, you could still enter it, for example, to visit friends, which doesn’t violate the prohibition against through traffic.

I’ve had the car since August (literally right after they stopped with the plate stickers) and this story actually happened two weeks ago.

Sorry, if this is an inappropriate question, but with the officer saying “them,” and you referring to an “experimentation phase,” are you trans?

That’s exactly what a cop did for me when he pulled me over in Ontario and was confused by my PA-registered car which doesn’t have a front plate or a registration sticker. At first glance, it *looked* like something was wrong, but he just googled the Pennsylvania plate configuration and realized we don’t have front…

I got a cop confused by my PA plates in Ontario. The cop was confused 10 different ways. We don’t have front plates in PA, the state also just phased out plate stickers (and I have brand new plates), and for some inexplicable reason, the registration card says “Expires: Month 31, 2018 VALID: Month 1, 2017,” so at a…

I got pulled over for tint, but luckily the cop just gave me a warning since I had out of state plates, I told him the windows were tinted when I bought the car, and that I actually had lighter tint in the trunk that I was planning on putting on once it’s not freezing out.

I find it’s kinda the opposite here in Ontario. We have the OPP, not the RCMP, at the provincial level, but it seems the OPP are the ones who care more about traffic. I got pulled over the other day on a backroad for literally no reason. The cop thought he saw me using my phone at a red light, but once he actually saw…

What a difference an hour drive makes

I say it every week, but Kate McKinnon is a national treasure.

Geez, what area? It’s been under $1.15 in London for a couple weeks now. That’s like a $7 difference for a full tank.

Are they insulated with some material, or is is vacuum insulation?

When I was shopping for a car last summer, this one dealership kept trying to sell me two-door cars. “NO, THAT WONT WORK, I HAVE A DOG.”
