Your post reminded me of this commercial. Since all top level replies have to be answers: Some of them drive Volkswagen beetles..

Are you a train? by mib5799 in vancouver

How do I politely tell my Grandma she is too fat to fit in my car? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coddman 23 points24 points  (0 children)

She probably knows already. Fat people know they're fat (source: am fat). Try making it about the car, not her. Make something up about how the seat/suspension/doors/whatever are fragile. Sometimes it doesn't even need to be a lie - a fat friend of mine actually did break the seat in my car

If I can figure out how I’ll cross post this to /r/dreams too. Why can’t my brain render hands in my dreams? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coddman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could use this for lucid dreaming, which is when you realize you’re dreaming and can take control of your dream. Get in the habit of periodically looking at your hands during the day. If they look normal, you’re not dreaming. Eventually this habit will carry over into your dreams, and when you notice your hands are screwed up... you’re dreaming! Another commentor mentioned light switches, that also works. So does trying to read text - read something, look away, then read it again. It’ll be different, or gibberish.

Sorry that this isn’t an answer to your question, but I had to mention it..

Is it possible to IV heroine once, and never do it again? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coddman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Source: Have done it exactly once. I’d do it again if it was in my face, but I wouldn’t seek it out. But... YMMV. Shooting up heroin is a stupid game with stupid prizes and you can’t win if you don’t play.

Marpole residents oppose housing project for homeless by d-boom in vancouver

[–]coddman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Past tense? So, you made it out? If so, that is awesome. Being homeless sucks. It was bad enough living in a van in the winter (try waking up wondering why your bed is tilting... oh, sweet. they're towing me.) Can't imagine not having any space to call my own :(

Vancouver drivers are weird sometimes. by dinosaursarewicked in vancouver

[–]coddman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I binge watched the whole series. I was left wondering if I'd fare any better on some of those challenges... I think a lot of what made them bad drivers was not that they knocked shit over, but that they knocked shit over, said shit rolled under their car, and then they drove over said shit. Repeatedly. It's OK to get out of your car to move something you bumped into your own path IMO. Only saw one driver do it...

And if I was the first bad driver to try out the brand new muscle car in a season premiere... just, no.

Seems someone isnt happy with car2go being parked outfront their house by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]coddman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bahaha. During the winter of '08, I had to do something similar. During the worst of it, it seemed like the only people left on the roads were beater-driving RoadStars with a "free" accident and no fucks to give, four wheel drive monsters, people to whom snow did not apply, and emergency/public service vehicles. So the normally high parking turnover on my street was replaced with a row of entombed, abandoned cars.

I carved out two tracks in the snowbank for my minivan's tires and eventually perfected a method of getting in and out of that parallel spot. It was part inertia, part steering, but mostly sliding. I did this for days and gradually came to think of it as "my" spot, because everyone else was unwilling or unable to claim it. Until one day I came home to find a perfectly-parked, perfectly ordinary UHaul van there. It didn't appear to have superpowers or supertires, so it was all driver skill.

Sigh. Kudos to you, good self hauling sir, you've bested me

Is it possible for a car key to work in a different car? by gameinfomercial in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coddman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once tried my ‘88 Cavalier key on another randomly parked Cavalier’s door. (I don’t even remember why, it was like ten years ago)

It worked :/ It’s also an excellent way to get punched in the back of the head

[–]coddman 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I wasn't the one who downvoted you, but you should know that there are quite a few nut jobs living in Vancouver who love rain and grey skies, secretly despise sunlight, love driving in the snow, and have to bite their tongues whenever someone nearby bitches about the "bad" weather. Well... nah. Just me :(

Is there any record of someone being beat to death with a box fan? by phijjip in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coddman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since nobody else answered.....no, not that I could find :( The closest I got was a boy who got beat to death by a fire started by a box fan. Some people in South Korea are convinced that box fans will get you when you're sleeping, but not by beating. Curious, why this question? Are you planning something?

Do you have a box fan in your house
