Unfortunately crashes don't record any information about how infuriating it is to share the road with drivers from a given area.

Ghost Farts posted:No, that's just an image Germany likes to maintain. Actually, people are distracted by their phones all the time, are overly aggressive or seemingly blind or just plain slow but weirdly insistent that they are right and you are wrong. This is even worse during the weekend. Not to mention the sheer volume of eastern european plated trucks doing whatever they drat well please (that Top Gear where they went to Germany with the Sierra Cosworth, M3 and old Mercedes seems fairly accurate in my experience). Also Germans travelling to other European countries are a nightmare - I can't count how many X5 and Q7 driving German morons I ran into in France travelling at autobahns speeds on 130km/h French motorways)

Kanish posted:Is there anywhere anyone has ever been ever and thought "man drivers around here are great" Nebraska drivers are actually loving amazing at left lane discipline. Signal, into the left lane, pass, signal, and back out. Every time. I was blown away when we drove through NE on the way back from Colorado. I guess that happens when you have a two lane highway that goes straight for hundreds of miles, everyone has been behind That rear end in a top hat enough to remember to not be That rear end in a top hat.

davebo posted:I've only ever known him to drive his Batman-themed Lambo so when the article said "custom Batmobile" at the top I just assumed they meant customized. They didn't have a single photo of the custom one, but here's one: Our local "shock jock" has a Batmobile that he talks about on-air now and then. It's built on a late 70s Lincoln chassis (I want to say Continental?) and has a 460, and claims that chassis was the most common donor, but several other full size body on frame cars were used. There were several companies doing the conversions back then until DC stepped in and said "hi would you like to meet our lawyers?". He has several movie-themed cars in his collection. He actually owned a shop at one point, but closed it down something like 10 years ago. GutBomb posted:Sears is loving cheap and always packed here. I bought a bunch of tools and garage stuff dirt cheap and if it breaks it gets replaced for free. A lot cheaper than harbor freight. The one second closest to me doesn't have poo poo in their tool section, just a lot of empty shelves.  They had a couple of floor jacks and ramps last time I was there, the tools were pretty much gone.Actually that kind of went for the entire store. The closest one isn't much better, except they actually have a few TVs and appliances on display The modern version of The Blues Brothers. How the gently caress did everything else fall out? Did he intentionally unbolt the subframe first?

Edward IV posted:Everything I've read here makes central New Jersey, particularly south-central, sound not too bad. Everyone may drive ridiculously fast and the road layout can be poo poo but you don't see too much stupid stuff going on. I usually have to watch out for out of state plates, especially New York and Pennsylvania plates, because they drive too slow, disrupt the flow of traffic, and more likely do stupid stuff. I wouldn't say it's perfect but it beats diving in New York City and Long Island. Yup. PA drivers come over here and sit in the left lane doing 5 under the limit. And don't get me started on these guys stopping in traffic to make left turns where the sign says "no left turn." Learn to use the jughandle. This is all I have to say about people from New York coming around here:

Fiberglass film prop maybe? Still a hell of a loading job even if it is. I'm guessing a lot of moving boards on the bed and a winch inside.

But how do you get the truck upright afterwards? The sides and tops of most trailers are fragile and non-load bearing. If you tried to tip a trailer upright with something like that supported by the walls it would rip right through them.

Well, they likely unload it by driving really fast in reverse and slamming on the brakes. To load it you just do the exact opposite. simple.

Huh. Never seen cotton modules that looked like that before. Usually they're big giant bricks of cotton that just barely fit in the loader bed, blowing cotton all over creation because the alcoholic on day 30, hour 16 of 20 didn't give a poo poo about how tightly the module was packed and just wanted to go home and get his 4 hours of sleep, and the illegal immigrant driving the module truck didn't bother to tarp the thing like he was supposed to. Bad old Slaton, TX, a town with no real reason to exist. e. research says it's some expensive thing from John Deere that no cotton farmer I know would spend money on - but all the secondhand equipment bought by the cheap fucks I know had to come from somewhere, I guess. rndmnmbr fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Aug 21, 2015 |

Twinkies are great and I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, to see them being disparaged in such a manner. Seriously, they are a touchstone of my childhood in the 60s and 70s and I actually like them. I don't think that there is anything nutritive or vaguely food like about them however.
