Of course it's made by KLIM. Someone is probably over on ADVrider right now vehemently defending this vest and it's whale foreskin leather.

Or sn accident in a tunnel, where there isn't a connection.

I wasn't ever explicitly threatened with a car, they were just distracted and didn't care if they hit someone.

That happened to me once! I was 15 and going to school, was riding a Lotus Eclair I'd fixed up. I entered the school zone and wanted to see if I could get over 25 mph. But there was a cop hiding and I got a ticket. I had to tell my parents, and I think they were impressed with my 31 in a 25 speeding ticket.

The best part was having to go to court, and the judge asking how I got a Lotus (she was thinking of a car) and then upon learning the truth, asking the officer why he was wasting his time stopping a kid on a bicycle.

I see all these silly rules being floated and part of me almost wishes I was back in high school so I could be really annoying.

I've been watching a very complex and large house being built over the laat few years. Probably the house of someone important. I'm sure it's very safe with no easily exploited vulnerabilities.

Oh, perfect for that.

The mythbusters clip about the bus is one of my favorites, because it showed just how hard it is to tip over a bus.

Speaking as someone who has suffered an original air cooled Beetle, they're cool but I wouldn't try to daily it. The lack of power steering would be far, far down your list of issues you will run into.

But for paralell parking a beetle specifically it can be a challenge, because reverse doesn't work like you expect. You have to push the gear lever down, like straight down toward the ground, and hold it, to put it in reverse. So you have to steer with one hand and hold the shifter with the other.
