  • I noticed on paragraph 3 of this policy-mandated letter that literally no one but me will ever read–and it’s mind-boggling that even I read it–that you referred to “December 2022.”

    As it is December 2023, and December 2023 is referred to multiple times elsewhere in the aforementioned letter, can you please clarify to which month this document refers?

    Thank you in advance.

    I hate it when someone with these lights is in the passing lane behind you, and their lights reflect off your side mirror directly into your eyes. The worst is when they’re only going like 102% your speed, so they linger there unless you adjust your own speed to change their placement relative to you.

    Add to this that the child is also made entirely of rubber and could easily withstand the train’s impact and experience no measurable hardship. However, the impact of Superman halting the train caused wreckage to fly all over the place and damage the surrounding infrastructure… which in this case is a metaphor for literal fucking infrastructure.




  • A hail damaged car that was totaled out by the previous owner’s insurance, making it technically a salvage title vehicle.

    Late model vehicles tend to be readily totaled out since body work is so expensive. Insurance companies don’t want to dump >30% value of the car into repairing cosmetic damage, put it back on the road, and then risk having to throw more money at the same vehicle again if another incident happens. They’d rather cut their losses, replace the car totally for their client, and then get what they can out of the damaged car at auction.

    In mid-summer, after thunderstorm season, you can even get totaled dealership cars with like 70 miles on them. Mechanically pristine, but cosmetically banged to hell.

    Back in the day, you could get them at nearly half their sticker price. Nowadays, it’s not that cheap, but they’re still a great deal and I swear by them.
