"@philibuster: they showed just one child...maybe there is a teenage girl who is upstairs telling her friends when her Dad goes to the airport next...I was born in Denver, but haven't lived there years(left in '79)...When did CR become an affluent city?"
"I cant remember what my earliest tickets were for...I did lose my license twice before I was 18...all in beater VeeDubs..
Since then it's been crossing double yellow, no u-turn, bus lane violations...
I think dealing with the court system made me slow down...
I have reached 120 (governor still intact) on 10 between Joshua Tree and Phoenix, but the truckers are going that fast as well so I blend in..."
"while the it's nice to see the Brazilian bugs, especially that green one...they are of not the same quality as what rolled in the US...Brazilian parts are second rate..."
"my 4th VeeDub was a '70...pretty similar to this one with mix and match parts and skins...only white...Fuel hose came loose going down 101 in Menlo Park, splashing fuel on the distributer...POOF!!!"
"@mechimike: yeah I cleaned it up real well...the Rental-car guy even made a snarky comment about the van being extra clean...maybe that was his clue to check whatever sneaky device they had in the van..."
"I got burned by this last summer for Burning Man...I rented a van and said I was staying in state...which I didn't...2 weeks later there was an extra $200 charge on my credit card...I called and they said "you went to Nevada..."
I think a similar issue that is going to come about that is slightly related, is the REAL ID act...me thinks the 2nd American Revolution could be sparked from that...I have some anti-gov relatives that are waiting with baited breath for the government to enforce that...they have been stocking up on guns and ammo..."
