I just think that in this day and age it’s very important to respect police officers, and I can’t think of a better way to do it than being cooperative. Refusing to answer their questions just doesn’t seem very respectful. You might make them angry!

Jeez, I don’t know, what if the officer says that if I don’t cooperate, he’s going to have to assume that I’m guilty, and probably have even more to hide and he’ll have to make sure the Judge knows this?

Yeah, but what if the officer says that he knows you’re probably a good kid, and doesn’t want to see you throw your life away? He says that if you’ll just drop the whole “silent thing” and work with him, he’ll do what he can to take care of you! Don’t you want to work with the guy and not throw your life away?

Correct me if I misunderstand the test, but aren’t they just measuring where the boost threshold is in the test above, not really “lag?” If you floor a turbo car at say, 1800 RPMs when the turbo system is designed for power above 2500, yes, it will “lag” until there is sufficient exhaust to spin the turbo… Read more

Cheater bars are great, as long as you have a 1.) high quality breaker bar, 2.) high quality socket 3.) good strength nut/bolt to be loosened. If either of the above 3 are bad, you’ll either bust the wrench, split open the socket, or twist the head off the bolt. An impact driver is preferable in many situations… Read more

Reading it, I didn’t realize I had been holding my breath and letting it out in little hisses while touching my elbow until a coworker asked me what the hell I was doing. Tense, indeed.

The car is cool, the price is not. 86 vert’s are rare as can be, even moreso than “SPG convertibles” which don’t really exist. Most convertibles with the aero kit are the ‘91 “SE” package. Also, What is the condition of the gearbox? If the seller did all this work and didn’t put in a rebuilt 91+ big-bearing box, he… Read more

With regard to ginning up interest, it’s sort of the opposite. NLL has a new commissioner from MLS, and they’re hot to grow the sport, and especially so in the right markets to the right consumers (as they define). In some markets, like Colorado, there is a higher proportion of suburban sports families with kids… Read more

These were the best car in the world for looking at your passenger with an innocent look on your face, saying “Oh, it’s just a 4-banger” and flooring it at 3000 RPM in 3rd gear.

Serious question - I’m a mid 30’s attorney and my boss recently hired a very attractive 18 year old filing clerk, and she was super flirtatious with me right from the start. I advised her that I was flattered, but that that sort of behavior was inappropriate and I’d prefer that she stopped. She did not, and persisted… Read more

I read about this car in B-week, and it has this cool Super Cruise assisted self-driving feature that looks at your face and can tell if you’re not paying attention, so basically, if you don’t want a bunch of alarms going off, you have to have a really good imagination to keep looking straight ahead with your eyes… Read more

Steve, your thoughtful and well-reasoned reply (which cited to a seminal case!) was far, far better than I deserved for my rude joke about misusing legal process to secure some nut-loosening from Mr. Goodwrench.

Steve, I’m curious about the waiver of consequential damages. Let’s say a customer comes in with some shaggy dog story of “you knew I needed my car to drive to work every day, and you didn’t have it repaired when you said you did, and therefore I couldn’t get to work, and because of that I lost my job, and because of… Read more
