Today Victor and I were walking to subway when we realized that #1 it’s actually cold out here (low 50s / high 40s) and #2 nobody else has to work today so the tiny subway parking lot will probably be easy to park in today. So, we hopped in my car. The first thing I […]
I’m siding with the driver
I found this story recently. I can’t believe they are countersuing for the cost of a new dog. Does this mean if I put my car in neutral and shove it out into the highway each and every driver that smashes into it has get together and buy ME a new car? what the hell?! […]
