Man who drive slower than me is an idiot.
Man who drive faster than me is a maniac.

SKYNET is so 80’s.

Now only if I could steer Joe Biden’s limo out of L.A....!
That's exactly who I thought of when I saw the headline.

Me three!
Also, regarding this line in the article:
“I’m sure there must be a number of benefits to it, but it makes home repair of your car (which I used to quite enjoy) impossible in many cases unless you own a computer test station costing as much as the vehicle.”
I have to doubt the writer has ever done much of his own work. You can buy a cable and software for on the order of $250. I guarantee I have more than $250 invested in the socket drawer of my toolbox alone. Yes, it’s an expensive, required additional tool. But in the grand scheme of tool buying, it isn’t all that much.

Yes, same here. Hastings was known to be working on a story that he said was supposed to be the biggest in his life.
Not like there aren’t people out there who are pros at this activity - who use all sorts of interesting tactics. I have a relative who has told me some interesting tales.
My other favorite are the convenient suicides, like the DC madam who supposedly had all sorts of info and conveniently killed herself (even after she said she would NOT commit suicide).
But the powers that be know we are now a weak and lazy people who never question what we are spoonfed by our authorities in the media.
