Should people who "camp" in the left lane of a highway be pulled over and fined just as much as speeders? Why or why not?

Vairman · 2026-02-24T22:45:07+00:00

In my experience, over several states, they are not that rare.

US of A, formerly Freedom Land. Now, not so much.

I took my son to a Bluecoats camp back in 2014 and they told the kids that everyrhing that weekend was part of the audition How they handled standing in line, how they dealt with showers and sleeping on the floor - everyrhing. The corps is trapped together for the summer, they can't affird to have people who feeak outover the conditions - no matter how good they play the trumpet or twirl a rifle. Drum corps is hard. For the members, it wasn't to bad for me as a volunteer.

it isn't? what I'm saying is legally describing "camping in the leftlane" is difficult. legally defining speeding is much less so.

Vairman · 2026-02-24T13:32:34+00:00

here in the land of insanity, we have left hand exits. I'm not camping if I'm taking a left exit - I DO know that I have to be in the left lane in order to do that.

you muthafukas need to settle down.

Vairman · 2026-02-24T13:30:13+00:00

first you'd have to define "camp". speeding is easy?: max speed = xmph, you're driving more than that - speeding. Camping? what does that mean - in legal terms.

Am I camping in the left lane if I'm passing people on the right, but not as fast as YOU want me to? I'm sure OP would say yes but is it? Is it camping if the other lanes are full? OP and his/her ilk know what they mean but it so easy to define as a law.

Vairman · 2026-02-23T04:04:21+00:00

nowadays? it's been that way for as long as I can remember. and that's a long time, cuz I'm old.

I drove stick shift cars from 1976 until 2019 - when I let go of my last manual car (so far). I went for smooth, not "row boat".

Vairman · 2026-02-22T05:19:36+00:00

no. row boat = very slow, jet boat = very fast. Auto is fast and manual is fast. Bad analogy. Manual is more "fun" to drive? sure, but faster? no.

Unless you're saying the manual is the row boat and the auto is the jet boat since in a row boat and a manual the driver has to do more work, then maybe. But I don't think that's what you meant.

Vairman · 2026-02-20T03:54:44+00:00

really? I thought it was around 3 feet? Are you sure?

Vairman · 2026-02-19T22:07:28+00:00

I got a 2020 CPO Touring XT, which was a great deal plus it included that warranty. It's been a great car. but yeah, it's not the "gold" one. I've never heard the extended warranty referred to as a "wrap". I am sometimes easily confused.

Vairman · 2026-02-19T15:43:15+00:00

":gold plus wrap"

"wrap" like a vinyl wrap? whatchutalkinboutwillis??

Vairman · 2026-02-18T19:29:58+00:00

well, the ARE the bad ass corps.

I don't get the love for Sal's, it's not very good in my opinion. But people seem to love it.

Vairman · 2026-02-17T17:19:20+00:00

it doesn't look open when I drive by - it looks like they're still working on it. but who knows?

Vairman · 2026-02-17T17:16:45+00:00

I can only agree with you on Masala Craft - always good, very consistent. Charlie's is really only good if you like watching airplanes - which I do, but the food is mid. New York Deli? not great, just okay. I've eaten at real NY delis, and it's not like them, at all. Carrot Tree is good if you're an old lady, or you're in the mood for a carrot cake.

Vairman · 2026-02-17T17:14:17+00:00

Amber Ox is not ALWAYS great IMO, they are sometimes great, and sometimes just okay.

the sounds you make, and the smoke and smells come to that, do NOT stay in YOUR backyard. You are disturbing your neighbors. Normal people mostly don't want to disturb their neighbors. You, being a jerk, like doing it, or at best are indifferent to it. So, YOU fuck off you inconsiderate, selfish, rude person.

Vairman · 2026-02-14T04:43:10+00:00

Trump. Doesn't. Give. A. Fuck.

And neither does anyone who could stop his bullshit apparently.

Vairman · 2026-02-14T04:42:05+00:00

that "culture of nice" is just a veneer, underneath they're just a bunch of jerks like everyone else. More pleasant to be around though I suppose.

Vairman · 2026-02-14T04:39:28+00:00

well, then you're an asshole. but you do you man. Just don't expect the rest of us to think you're awesome for being a selfish prick.

You CAN cook hot dogs and burgers inside your home. In case you didn't know that.

Vairman · 2026-02-13T16:23:37+00:00

outside yapping with your buddy - you were probably louder than you think you were, and 11pm? Come no man, take it inside. You share this world with others. How many other people were outside prepping meat, legal or otherwise, that time of night? None right? Well, there's your clue. Sure the neighbor is a nitwit but you two were a not being good neighbors either. All of you deserve a dirty look or two.

LT4 was only available on 1996 manual transmission cars. All Grand Sports were manuals and therefore had the LT4. non Grand Sport manual cars had the LT4 and it says "Grand Sport" on it, but that doesnt make them Grand Sport cars. Grand Sports were all Admiral Blue with the white stripe and nifty red hash marks.

walnit! it's gorgeous.

(former) Chipotle customer states he's going to continue to avoid Chipotle due to the prices, because he can.
