    Where do you find builders that can do crooked? Do they rebuild it flat and then dig out beneath it again and shore it up like it was when that originally happened? I'd love to know how this is...

    Good riddance to bad corporate rubbish. They got busted trying to cover-up a serious situation that involved injury due to their car not stopping with a person under the car. May they never be allowed to return. Maybe other companies that don't try and do cover-ups will fare better.

    They screwed up hard with the name. The Buick Century was such a failure that the name is tainted forever. Not sure how they didn't realize the other car with this name was so horrible that using that name will not be a good mental association. I towed vehicles and towed more garbage Buicks than anything for a few years there.

    The (I believe) final fight in Call of Juarez 1 or 2 (I forget). It's a box canyon where you are surrounded by what seems like an endless amount of enemies and zero cover where they are at differing levels of surrounding cliffs. I can get 6 or 7 of them before dying. I tried it so many times before giving up and moving on to the next game. I've had many of these over the years but this one stands out as the most impossible for me.

    As an ex-cabbie/dispatcher, drivers like this are why I always defend the industry. I've known many of similar spirit. I've seen men break down crying at the end of shift over the tragedy they've seen on the street. Anyone who claims all cab drivers are bad hasn't a clue what they go through and who they really are. Props to this driver for giving her a free ride.

    Best advantage I see over a bicycle is being able to fold it up and take it in with me. Bikes around here can not be locked up without being stolen. Being able to fold it up and take it in with me is the best part and the reason I got a scooter over an e-bike or riding my bike. Bike riding can only be for leisure personally as locking them anywhere is a huge risk these days and there is no such thing as a secure lock.

    The laws really need definition here. I try and ride mine on the road in bike lanes mostly but I've had California Highway Patrol at separate times tell me both to get off the road and onto the sidewalk and to get off the sidewalk and onto the road. Kind of hard to do the required when they can't make up their minds.

    Dog bacon training treats got them eating out of my hand. They try and trade unshelled peanuts other people give them for them. I had to stop for a minute because they kept bringing all their friends until there was a crowd of like 20 of them. Now it's back down to 3 main ones and the 1 eats out of my hand.
