It’s a railroad bridge that existed before box trucks, and the road can’t be lowered because there are sewers and utilities underneath. It’s definitely not “only in America” that low underpasses and narrow roads exist. And in this particular case, alternate routes exist.

I only just realized a couple weeks ago that trackpad mode was a thing. Because they introduced it when I had a beta running on my phone, I thought it was a bug since all the keys were going blank. I’ve been missing out for years.

3D touch is one of those features I always forget exists, until I try to use it in a place that I don’t even realize I even use it. I’ll try to 3D Touch on my iPad a lot and it won’t work, even though I’m not even consciously thinking about using 3D Touch.

How exactly does one “ork” a cow?

My border collie/Aussie mix walks like this too. Always has.

“It’s said to have a super-low drag coefficient of 0.279.”

When I drive to my parents’ this is the exact reason I take backroads. It turns a six hour drive into eight, but it’s eight hours of hilly, twisty, winding roads where it would be dangerous to go too much above the speed limit. If I stick to the mostly straight, flat interstate, I’ll inevitably zone out and end up…

At least it sounds like the coverup was to try to secretly replace the tank, rather than attempting a fix on the old one

In some jurisdictions, “street racing” can have a broad definition. Basically if you’re speeding for the purpose of showing off to people, that can also be considered street racing. Some jurisdictions call it “stunting” or “exhibition of speed” for that exact reason

The point is that most of the US has extremely lax education and testing requirements. If the testing requirements were the same, far more people would fail the test. A more rigorous education is better than an essentially non-existent one.

It could also just be a difference in state laws. For example, cars sold as cop cars will have precisely calibrated speedometers because one way a cop can gauge a vehicle’s speed is just by matching the speed. So maybe Missouri has a specific requirement that speed reading have to come from calibrated measuring…

That sounds like an excellent way to give yourself a double fisted punch to the face if the airbags go off

There’s no such thing as “US traffic laws.” They’re different in every state. Extremely illegal lights in one state can be completely legal in another.

Black Gorilla tape?

If your  has auto-on headlights, I’m assuming you probably also have auto-off headlights. Just turn your lights to on, and then they’ll turn off automatically 30 second or so after the car turns off

“and NEVER turn on when your wipers are on.”

How many people are going to immediately take their car to the BMW dealer to have the issue diagnosed? If the owner delays by even a day, the car will be gone.

Comprehensive claims generally don’t affect premiums, unless you’re making them frequently. Your comprehensive premium already has the probability of your car being stolen built into it, and having your car stolen doesn’t increase the probability that the replacement will also have the same claim made. The reason it…

That’s the kind of immobilizer I had to get installed to import my Optima to Canada, since all cars 2007 or newer are federally mandated to have an immobilizer. They cut the wires to the ignition, fuel pump, and computer, run them through the immobilizer box, and it won’t open the circuit unless a key tag is present.

Something with lots of modern safety features. She might be the best driver in the world, but cognitive functioning peaks in your early 20s and it’s all downhill from there. An 80 year old is going to have reduced awareness and reaction time, even if they’re the best driver in the world, and things like Frontal…
