About $96k. I used the currency converter on google.
don’t apologize too soon
(Snopes is very very unreliable, imho to put it mildly)
The only reason to feel like a jackass is the fact that you consulted with Snopes.
British highways have speed limits listed in both MPH and KPH
Well, if Snopes says so, I could be mistaken. I question everything they ssy.
Considering the number of verifiable instances of insane judgements in lawsuits over personal injury, it’s not hard to believe stories like that.
Look at an ordinary stepladder at your local home store, and count the number of warning stickers on each ladder. You will be shocked.
I don’t trust snopes either but I think they may be right on this one.
Lol, more likely Hindu.
A few years ago, about 50 percent of the kids at a local high school were named Patel. However, it is said that nowadays, wealthy Chinese Communist bureaucrats buy property in the neighborhood so they can send their sons to that school, so the number of Patels has gone down.
A little more than a $2k I could afford if I needed another set of wheels.
Patel sounds more like a dot head
” the car in front moved to the right lane to avoid a truck stopped on the left shoulder, and the Tesla, which the driver’s father believes was in Autopilot mode, did not slow before colliding with the stopped truck.”
The auto pilot should have also been using WAZE, just saying
It is.
Debunked thoroughly by Winnebago, who have lost money (supposedly) as a result of this blatant tall tale.
Also Tesla states that auto pilot is NOT full autonomous driving and the driver needs to be ready to take control. So this guy is an idiot no matter how you look at it.
Wait, Mr Grazinski had a sex change after they got the Stella Award in the old e-mail? Damn, hate all these gender changes... And it was a cup of coffee in the old Stella award yarn...
(Yeah, fake urban legend, as old as cruise control is.)
Having grown up in Gujerat province, where Patel’s originate from, most Patel’s follow the Hindu religion, but some Muslims also have that last name. Ditto with last name “Shah”. In general Shah’s are more trustworthy, FWIW.
Oh c'mon! Everybody knows the British system, it's really easy:
First, you measure your speed in miles-per-hour. There used to be only three speed limits in the UK, 30 in town, 50 on secondary (B) roads, and 70 on the motorways (M) and primary (A) roads. But as you will see, life in the UK has gotten a little more complicated.
Second, you buy your fuel in liters for convenience, as explained next.
Third, you measure your fuel mileage in miles-per-gallon, but not a U.S. gallon, an Imperial gallon, which is actually 1.20095042 U.S. gallons. That's why you buy your fuel in liters. {;^)
Fourth, you measure your car's weight in tonnes - but the metric ton, 1,000 kilos.
Fifth, you buy a beer in the pub by the pint - Imperial pint.
Sixth, you buy other beverages by the liter.
Seventh, you buy tea by the kilo.
Eighth, you measure land by the acre.
Ninth, you measure a house by the square meter.
And ten, you spend money by the Pound!
Why? He wasn’t driving. Your Honor.
All he needed was a good blow up doll, like the famous Otto Pilot.
With Otto being a smoker he may have left him at home.
But Patels own the motels.
All Gujerati’s strive to own businesses. They are prodigious savers, and also own lots of 7-11’s.
