A theme song that kids always thought was "Pussy cow pussy cow pussy cow!" instead of "Go see Cal!" (ask my parents how I know)  xzzy posted:Worthington ads confused me in a big way as a child. His ads always seemed like they were showing off vehicles that were up for sale in my area. Problem was, I spent the first handful years of my life around Seattle and was buried in his ads, then we moved to Alaska and still had to endure them. I couldn't figure out how it had worked out that a car salesman had moved from Seattle to Anchorage around the same time my family did. I was subjected to his ads in El Paso TX of all places - because for some reason, the cable system out there has always carried KTLA.

If only they'd had a HOA to protect them (and society, in fact) from parking on this extremely narrow street.

Come to San Francisco. Street parking on too-narrow streets? Meh, that's everyday stuff. The hot new thing I've discovered is a significant number of people who consider it their God-given right to double-park wherever they want (usually leaving their flashers on because that's a get-out-of-regulations-free card, don't you know), using justifications like "I'm only going to be twenty minutes" or "well, there's no way I could find a parking space nearby otherwise."

Enforcing the law, says Campione, would cause a “minor revolution.” I guess that goes back to the kind of neighborhood resistance Richardson Dilworth faced in 1961 when he tried to change parking regulations in South Philly and 2,000 residents threw tomatoes at him. It’s just so much easier to leave it alone. http://www.phillymag.com/articles/parking-broad-street/

Custom Hearses and 'Family Sedan(s)' These things are built in Arkansas. That white beast seems to be branded as the 'Prinzig' Copyright is a bit complex but a key issue is creating brand confusion. That's why the original copyright claim by Apple Records against Apple computer failed. Who would confuse a computer company for a purveyor of music? I looked up 'Prinzig'. Google found Prinzing Maschinebau: quote:We are able to offer you a wide range of modern dung removal systems for transporting solid manure and slurry for cattle-, pig-, hen- and horse stables.

Bad photo I think but we do this locally, there's a bunch of signs around primary schools (ages 4-11) that have signs designed by the kids themselves, generally with turtles and hedgehogs and snails on them because SLOW DOWN. It's quite cute.

How far back do you have to pull those to get them to make a jump? e: :1.2L and all of the safety stuff we're used to (except ABS) is optional. I'm surprised airbags aren't standard on a 2016, even if it is a budget vehicle. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Apr 19, 2016 |

I know we've all been bitching about car makers sticking enormous wheels everywhere but these are just hilariously tiny. I haven't seen this thing before so I went to have a look. The reviewer here does mention that it looks a bit awkward from the side but doesn't bring up the silly wheels (he actually compliments their design later): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCfX8JiuW84

Those are 14s by the way, which I think only subcompacts and Miatas used in recent memory.

I thought they were a lot smaller than that - I guess it's just the comical scale between tire size and vehicle size. I know Civics came with 14s as late as the 2005 model year if you opted for a base model, and they were firmly inside of the compact class at that point. I had an 88 Accord that had 13s. That was a pain to find tires for.
