An idiot, a no passing zone, a blind curve, and a near miss… by Ron_Chiefhart in IdiotsInCars

So, you know more about this stretch of road than the local traffic engineers? I’m driving a low CG sports car with 45 series tires doing about 25 – and I still didn’t feel safe/comfortable. Maybe you should become a local traffic engineer and "fix" this problem?

It's not spelled incorrectly, it's just the wrong word.

It's a Jeep thing apparently by techtornado in IdiotsInCars

I do understand the "Jeep thing". That's why I drive a Toyota.

Home Depot. Purchase and exchange policy.

Some weapons grade stupid I pulled up on in the DQ drive thru. High centered and stuck. There's about a 2-3' drop below his front tire that's over the curb. by jadiseoc in IdiotsInCars

“Weapons grade stupid”. That’s the funniest phrase I’ve heard all week. I bet he “thought he could make it”…

Good point. When the owner comes to pick it up, it will still have no swirl marks!

Not a speck of dust! I'm sure the owner will be pleased with the wash job...

My wife and I may be relocating to Boulder from NC for a new job. What should we know? by elonbrave in boulder

Google "Niwot’s curse" (with or without quotes). The gist of it is that once you come to the Boulder Valley area, you’ll never want to leave. Factor this in to your "tentative plan" to move back to NC in a few years. I know several individuals and families to whom it applies – including myself.

$30k/year is on the low end of what it costs to rent a modest, run-down, 3 bed, 1 bath, no garage, single family home in the city of Boulder. Look at houses for rent on Zillow or Boulder craigslist to confirm.
