I already tried to drive with one leg in a parking lot, it's perfectly possible, just sort of slow.

But however, if you want to pay a debt, legal tender must be accepted, if it is refused, your debt is canceled. I am not sure about U.S. law, but in Canada, there is a limit on the number of coin constituting legal tender, i.e. there is a 50¢ maximum for pennies, 5$ in 5¢ coins, 10$ in coins of val...

This doesn't apply to you Americans I suppose, but smokers cost everyone in Canada lots of money. A very large proportion of lung cancers are caused by tobacco, so you can't go around saying that it doesn't affect me if they want to kill themselves slowly. Now I'm not advocating that they should be ...

I see many people being irresponsible with bicycles, but that's because they don't realize that a bicycle is classified as a motor vehicle and must comply with all laws motor vehicles comply with. It's the millionth time I hear that, it's not classified as a motor vehicle, it's classified as a vehi...

Reminds me of the guy that came with his son to test drive my Camaro. They keep trying to launch but the kid kept stalling. Then the dad tried and did the same thing. He shouts "what are you trying to pull, kid? The clutch is shot!" At which point I kindly informed him he still had the pa...

JB, in order to not waste money on the car, get a girlfriend. Not only will the added drama not give you the time to be bored, but all your money will disappear, that way you will have neither the car nor the education. Just joking ladies, sorry about reinforcing the gender stereotypes, but it had t...

Now how is the valet place going to know that he's 16? I don't know how it is in the states, but here, you shouldn't put in any information like your age/sex etc. If he dresses nice when he drop off his résumé, they might think he's a couple of years older, and they don't have any reason to check hi...
