the thing is that you don't need to be mechanically inclined if you're just willing to accept even more danger

if we just warn the people buying the murdermobiles that their cars will kill people with whom they collide, surely that means they will rationally choose to purchase a different alternative in the free market!!!!!!

The driver is almost 80. Why are they driving!? I saw a loving crossover going 10MPH under everyone else on the highway, and of course it was a gray hair hunching over their driver wheel trying to see the road ahead. Real cool. Love that we don’t test these people.

I loving loathe the giant truck morons. Parking where I'm at is pretty tight because all the streets were designed before cars and most of them are going up ridiculously steep hills, so I get that there might be a little bit of vehicle on the sidewalk, just comes with the territory. However there's this ridiculous douchebag down the street from me who goes by the name of "Robbie" who has a giant lifted red RAM pickup truck that's as long as can be. For some reason it needs to be parked RIGHT BY HIS HOUSE and he refuses to park it anywhere else. The problem with this is that his house is right at the drop of a very, very steep street. It's so steep that you cannot possibly see another vehicle coming up it if you're going down, and vice-versa if you're coming up. The way he parks his car he manages to not only take up the whole sidewalk, but effectively turn the road itself into a one car wide choke point when normally two cars could pass through.

When I asked Robbie why he didn't just park like 30 feet away where there's abundant and ample street parking that wouldn't turn the road into a death trap he got very upset and claimed that it was his legal right to park there, and that I can park in front of my house and no one complains. I tried to explain to him the difference between me parking my tiny beater Honda civic that did not block the road versus his giant brodozer but it was fruitless so I've since accepted that I'll be honking every time I go up and down this road just to avoid a major head on collision because this lead brain can't walk a couple feet.

this poo poo reminds me of that scene in gormenghast before irmas party where shes showing her brother, alfred, her outfit and it immediately makes obvious for everybody to see the secret terror kept hidden in the deepest part of her soul

Red lights have the spirit of Javert in them, as soon as they allow a single person to pass them, they kill themselves.

No other car is as versatile as the Escalade. From the country club to the night club, it can do it all.

i think i mentioned it in this thread but i was walking to the subway on 23rd st & 6th when i saw a massive crowd formed ahead as i walked by i looked over and saw like 30 people staring at some medics with a bicyclist who was laying completely flat - absolutely no more muscle firing - in the street with a massive blood circle around their head and the driver of the truck was nowhere to be seen.

turns out they just "didn't notice" and they werent' charged

Currently, state law only allows speed cameras to be on from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays. The cameras must be located in 750 designated school zones

Truly bizarre set of rules. Is it ok to speed after 10pm? Fairly certain the answer is racism, since cops can selectively enforce speeding laws in a way cameras don't.
