Because that is done at the state level and while rare there are some states that don't require you to carry insurance but instead you can post bond with the state.
Sounds like an illegal search to me. Personally I would have called 911 and reported that there was someone in my vehicle who should be there. This way had it been someone dangerous the cops would be the ones dealing with it and in this case there would have been an audio recording of the event probably with the 911 dispatcher mentioning that the cop is who is in their car.
Sometime those 15 year old civics do benefit from premium if they developed hot spots in the chambers from neglect/abuse. Also refiners like to have the higher grades having higher additive content so running a tankful or premium through them periodically probably cleans out some of the deposits in the engine so it runs more like it did new.
There are multiple tanks within that gasoline tanker so it isn't just one single ~15,000 gallon tank. Most of those trucks have 4 tanks with 2 or 3 being filled with the 87 octane 1 filled with the premium grade and sometimes one filled with mid grade. Also I haven't seen an invoice from the refinery stating that what was delivered was all the same octane as the prices were broken down by octane. Then again I haven't worked at a gas station in 15 years so practices may have changed but if such a thing is happening they it seems like a perfect case for a state Attorney General to get involved in.
If it was non packed snow you were really driving too fast as that is usually like driving in sand (at least here in Minnesota) and will slow you down just by rolling through it from the extra drag on the wheels. Once it is packed treat it like ice (it basically is at that point) and slow the fuck down. If you had done it perfectly without ABS you might have managed to stop in 95 or 90 yards instead 100 but expecting a miracle out of ABS is not going to happen.
Here it seems like the problem is that people are driving like a bunch of ass holes because they have a tiny dick and screw up in cases where they are operating the vehicle near it's limits. For example the first car I legally drove on public roads (I had been driving for 7 years legally on private property) was a fairly new at the time Geo Metro. At regular highway speeds the car was fine but take it out on the track and get it up to 100+ and it would get shit your pants scary. I ended up out in the grass at a number of tracks with that car but did that make it too dangerous because? Hell no, maybe people need to not drive like nutsacks. I bet you also believe that companies that make those really spicy hot sauces are legally required to have you sign the waiver they put in front of you too since you buy Ferrari's BS exclusivity. Granted Ferrari will sell you one of their old non street legal race cars (read: their old junk) but believing that they they have a street legal car they will only let you drive on the track is a bunch of BS.
My only beef with traction control is in conditions where it decides it wants to do something I don't want it to do so I like being able to turn it off some times. Starting on an icy hill, doing doughnuts on a frozen lake, going around a tight turn quickly (too large a difference in wheel speed) and it just pisses me off, but you are right for being on the road it is really better in almost every case. In my normal every day to day driving I only turn it off when starting on an icy hill but that doesn't happen all that often.
I always learned to follow at a time difference of 5 seconds which works out to be fairly close to the values you quoted. Also by leaving more following distance brakes last a long time even with the occasional abuse from very spirited driving (I like a day at the track way to much). I usually can go ~100,000 miles between changing pads and rotors while most of the other people I know seem to manage only about 50,000 - 60,000 miles
You might want to amend that to be your private property. The rules and regulations governing safety equipment on vehicles at most tracks is usually substantially greater than those of road going vehicles as once they are slightly faster than some moderate production vehicles. They need things like roll cages, 5 point harness, if rear wheel drive drive shaft restraints, fire extinguishers, braided stainless steel brake hoses, etc. as well as having to pass inspections to make sure the stuff actually works.
I thought about buying one when I was car shopping last because my wife told me it was ok if I got a 2 door car since we don't have to deal with baby carriers anymore but it still needed to have a back seat. When I showed he what I wanted (mostly joking since I knew what the answer was) I got a no.
Hey, those little Geo Metros don't suck as bad as most people think. Granted the don't have much on the top end but 65hp in a little light car does have some get up and go (I could smoke a tire in it with that open diff setup) and with that low center of gravity, light weight and short wheel base they cornered really well. The funniest slow vehicle race I have ever seen is the old air cooled VW micro bus drag races. Those things take forever even on an 1/8 mile strip.
Just imagine the field day the political party that lost the chimp vote would have and the ads that they would run. they only real question is what party would chimps support as at present they both seem pretty good a flinging poo.
Here is another supporting data point for you. The city of St. Cloud, MN which is exists in 3 counties and every few years there is discussion to create a new county so that it can be contained within just one and simplify some of the issues. The most recent proposal had it called Lake Wobegon County.
Don't go after the dog they don't really know any better best to go after the owner. Super soaker filled with deer piss diluted with water. Hell if you just dumped a bunch of that deer piss on the ground the dog would probably roll in it and love every moment of it and the owner would have to deal with smelly dog. For that matter maybe just spread some manure around there as well since the dog will roll around in that too.
They have to be Acuras, Mercedes, BMWs, or another luxury brand, 5 year olders or newer. Anything else gets towed, and a $300 "eyesore" fee charged.
Man I need to stop by and bring my crappy looking jeep and park it on the street. I bet it would get towed in about 5 minutes and then I can report a vehicle theft and I am a big enough of a dick that I won't decide to drop the charges. It doesn't look quite as bad as my old Bronco II did but is close.
[2]: People who had "Enforcement patrol" badges on their cars stating their job was to force others to obey all speed limits by pulling out in front of people. Was amusing watching them just sit for stretches at a time just so they could pull out on someone.
Sounds like someone should be brought up on charges for attempting to intentionally cause an accident. I thought the people who put those stupid plastic yellow slow kid sign things in the street (I do mean in the street not on the grassy boulevard) in my mom's neighborhood were bad. I just run those things over with my crappy looking jeep when they are in the road.
Actually they do since most criminals are just looking for an easy target and are about as dumb as a brick (otherwise they would have real jobs). The U-Haul and self storage place I worked at had a life size cardboard cutout of the Maytag Repair Man up in the second floor windows of the place so it always looked like there was a security guard in there. The windows were facing the road and customers commented that it was nice that we had a security guard. I imagine that it fooled most stupid criminals as well.
I do the same for anything valuable. Also be sure to mention to the shipper that it is a business address as then they don't pay the dollar or so extra charge for residential delivery.

and of course I missed it when proof reading. Change :
who should be there
to:
who shouldn't be there

Don't be a monkey vote for our guy
Those look more like manatees so just go with sea cows and it is all good.
Well there is always the "tomatos feel pain when sliced" one conducted by Mr. Hubbard. /snark
Sadly that is about as reputable as these things get.
To answer there is this thing called the US Constitution and years of Supreme court president. I suggest seeing the following for some background:
Quill Corp. v. North Dakota
Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the US constitution the Commerce Clause
National Bellas Hess v. Department of Revenue
Miller Brothers Co. v. Maryland
Dormant Commerce Clause
I seem to remember there being a case from the late 1800's about mail order catalog sales but can't remember enough details to find it but there are other rulings as well.

I've always been a partial to the BMW 507 or the MB 300SL.

Delivery trucks do get stolen from time to time.
I do the same for anything valuable. Also be sure to mention to the shipper that it is a business address as then they don't pay the dollar or so extra charge for residential delivery.
Do they have the proper infrastructure in place to dispose of the bags improperly?
Yes, I believe they have matches in Southeast Asian countries.
