  • I recently got a BMW i4 (their electric mid-size sedan). These new cars beep if you start to stray to the next lane without first engaging the turn signal.

    My company’s Sprinter van goes as far as yanking you back to your lane unless you engage the turn signal first.

    Damned tech ruining a good vintage meme.

















  • True story: In 2018 I was pretty sure I was or was about to have a heart attack and possibly a stroke. I drove to the ER rather than call an ambulance. As soon as they checked my vitals, they prepped me for emergency surgery. As I was in the O.R. my wife was listing our second home (he one we wanted to retire in) for sale because she was certain that the medical expenses would bankrupt us. Everything worked out well, but the fact that while I might be breathing my last breaths all I am worried about is leaving my wife in financial ruin is not something I can let go of.
