Somethings just shouldn't be done to vehicles
Yes, we are all proud of the multiple uses of duct tape, but there ain't no way it's going to replace a nut or bolt in a gear set.Am I nuts? Or does a cop smoking a cigar at a gas station seem like a poster for unsafe behavior?
Maybe I'm too critical of them, but I doubt it. . . they aren't allowed to smoke in the cruisers to top it off.
Wouldn't city transportation be more appealing with the original streetcars?

but the shortsighted greedy bastards sold out to gross polluting diesel bussses, and trashed all the cool looking and electric streetcars. Morons. I was reading recently about all the cities that went to electric streetcars as a pollution reducing measure, and to increase the effective public transit systems. Here in San Diego when huge events like major league ballgames, national football league games, or an event like Comic-Con happen, the go to device for getting there and back is usually the trolley system. Nothing as aesthetic as the old street cars, but serviceable

This blistered tire is on the front passenger side of a convertible expensive BMW, and the owner refused to buy a new tire.
When the unsafe condition was pointed out to the owner, and a new tire was recommended (not for a commission, but for the safety of him and his car) he refused to consider it, and stated that he'd "Keep an eye on it"These idiots are everywhere, so be careful on the road, this idiot could be in front of you.
Yes I do speak my mind, call a moron that when I see one acting incredibly stupid, and post the photos that prove it for you readers to appreciate how your safety is compromised by the A holes that share the road with you:

Great news, Arizona Speed cameras turned off
Arizona turns off speed cameras
Arizona has turned off every speed camera on its highways after complaints that they violated privacy and were designed to generate revenue rather than promote road safety.
A spokesman for Jan Brewer, the state's Republican governor, said she "was uncomfortable with the intrusive nature of the system", which was inherited from her Democratic predecessor.
Opening in October 2008, the scheme was first in the United States to use speed cameras across a whole state. Amid objections of Big Brother-ism, numerous cameras were vandalised, while the operator of a van carrying a mobile camera was shot dead in a lay-by in April 2009
The 76 cameras took 2.7 million photographs, but only 16 per cent of drivers who received a speeding ticket paid up.
The scheme generated $76 million (£50 million) for a state which has struggled to balance its budget, while the Department of Public safety reported a 19 per cent drop in fatal collisions on highways. But campaigners argued that safety could be improved by more police patrols.
Speed cameras introduced by the authorities in several Arizonan cities are unaffected by the decision.
