I didn't know parking brakes ever worked until I got a job that paid enough to not buy 10 year old cars that had seized parking brakes or removed parking brakes here in the rust belt. Don't park on a hill unless you are at the bottom.

I've seen a lot of that in tighter areas, and really, I can't imagine where else you'd realistically be able to unload.

In South Philly, there's places (such as South Broad) where people literally park in these, and the PPA seems to leave them alone.

It took me less then 15 seconds to find a shirtless guy.

That is a rip off of the CATERPILLAR CS433E VIBRATORY SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER. No longer powered by steam.

Well in their defense they don't put stop signs on alleys. You still have to stop though.

When the defroster is on the traction control light is directly connected to an injector that sprays gas onto the exhaust manifold.

How are these cars even starting do people in the south even use antifreeze?

How does someone force you off the road? The correct thing to do is maintain your lane integrity and let them hit you if you cannot slow down enough to avoid the accident. You swerving off the road is your own fault. Defensive driving though keeps you out of those situations if you maintain your no dent space.

I don't think he is in a county that values human life over traffic inconvenience. He could have probably blasted that kid into the great beyond and sued the parents for denting his car.

I think autozone gave the guy the wrong part when he asked for a big rear end tire plug.

I need a bumper sticker announcing that my engine has so much power that dumping the clutch at idle won't stall the engine even at a 170 degree incline. Also who drives a car that down't have a brake line lock?

Most of you will get old. I am just saying when you pass the soylent green laws you will eventually be subject to them. (Not that you could ever overcome the fact that old people have nothing better to do then vote) That said the older I get the less I care about having a valid license or insurance or traffic ordinances. Just saying what are they going to do?

I never use a parking brake. I have never had an auto roll away. If you use a parking brake eventually some moron will drive all day with it on.

Edit beaten by someone with moron friends.

If you turn your wheel properly the curb will stop your car. If there is no curb then use a tree.

If that happens, you yield to the person on your right.

If four cars all come to a full stop at the exact same instant, well, go buy a lottery ticket.

There's a somewhat busy 4 way stop I use regularly, and if I notice cars coming from all directions and there might be same grey area on who stopped "first" I'll intentionally lean into my brakes to make sure I get there last just to try and erase a potential stalemate.

I do the opposite and don't stop at all.

Will self driving cars understand the Pittsburgh left? I bet if you get out in front of one fast enough though they will stop in time. This will become a new hobby for people.

I think they are still getting used to the turning radius of that land yacht. I am not impressed.

If it is a coupe they need that much space to open the door.

I understand but the ER doesn't currently withhold treatment for fear they'll lose money, do they?

Some will ship you to the county hospital if you are not in a real emergency or will stabilize you then move you.

Time for buses to have high quality dash cams front and rear that can easily pick out plates and faces. And hats off to that driver, if that were my kid they'd be a member of cake of the month club or something equally awesome now.

For occupants school buses are extremely safe. The engineering is amazing even if they are ugly and lack ac.

Also lol at you if you run into a giant yellow rectangle that goes 30 mph and stops every block. You probably deserve to have your car destroyed.
