How many twisties are there and do you drive a Hachi-Roku or a Miata?

There are about 2 miles of pretty busy and another 3 or so more spread out. I usually drive a Tauru-S. I also have a TR-7 that throws into stark contrast the improvements in engine, suspension, tires and braking between the malaise era and even the late 90s/early 2000s.
Miatas hold their value too well for me to get one.

The Kansas Supreme Court agreed, unanimously ruling to disbar. Hawver said earlier this year, however, he wasn’t really sweating losing his license because he was planning on leaving the legal profession anyway in order “to devote his time to growing vegetables in an aquaponics garden.” “I don’t think practicing law is productive,” he said.

quote:

Hawver said the strategy of Cheatham—who he described as "an experienced and highly street-smart and intelligent criminal" who was a cocaine dealer convicted of killing another "dope dealer"—was to tell jurors that if he had killed two women in 2003, he wouldn't have left alive a third shooting victim to identify him to police. The survivor was shot eight times by the real gunman to convince her to identify Cheatham as the killer, Hawver said in explaining the trial strategy.
...
Hawver had never previously tried a capital murder case and had not tried a murder case in more than 20 years … He was unfamiliar with ABA guidelines for trying capital murder cases. At trial, he informed the jury his client had previously been convicted of voluntary manslaughter, even though prosecutors agreed to a stipulation that the client had a prior felony conviction without further details … In an affidavit, Hawver also said he failed to seek dismissal of the capital charge after the Kansas Supreme Court struck down the death penalty scheme.

there's actually discussion of this in the Inquisition thread. I suggested that for reality sake, there should be at least one NPC who is so obviously hetero that hitting on them gets you punched. This apparently was the wrong thing to say because...what you just said.
