Weird that this 'study' keeps getting picked up by different outlets and attributed to LendingTree who specifically notes at the top of said study that they don't endorse anything within it and it's solely the opinion of the author.

Furthermore, this study is obviously flawed as it states Pontiac, Mercury, and Saturn as the vehicles with the safest drivers, even though none of those companies have produced a car in around 15 years. The data is also sourced from people filling out insurance applications and doesn't actually account for who was at fault for these accidents, nor does it even track the type of vehicle involved in the accident. It simply tracks who has an accident or DUI on their record and what vehicle they're currently looking to get insurance quotes for. It's clickbait in its purest form.

Sitting in the middle seat of a work truck can get a little gay if you're driving a manual and need to shift into 2nd or 4th. Joking aside, I would probably use any excuse not to sit there because it's incredibly uncomfortable to straddle the transmission hump.

These are typically the big right wingers who later in life live in a constant state of rage because they're crippled or disabled and blame the government or immigrants for the fact that they live on a $1200/mo disability check, can't work, and have nothing to their name. At least that's my personal experience.

Not if it's 5W30 Valvoline.

Surely there is a name for it in Brittain since their soldiers probably use something similar.

Kids as young as one year old are getting hooked on dihydrogen monoxide these days and 100% of users eventually die. It's a real scourge.

I find we're most productive in far years.

It's also Christmas time

It'll be necessary to remove the interior so they can access both sides of the panel for removal/installation and not catch anything on fire while welding.

Best bet will be to ask around local autobody shops since they'll have the most accurate estimates. I'd personally just sell the car if it becomes a bigger issue. Repairing is likely cost prohibitive.

That looks like it's gonna be a ton of work if repair panels are even available. I dunno what labor prices are in Lithuania, but in the US that could easily cost $5k or more. They'll have to strip the interior, cutout the rust, shape patch panels to fit, weld them in, repaint, and reinstall the interior.

In order for you to sedate someone, they must already be under control right? Or do you jump into the dog pile with a syringe full of ketamine?

Furthermore, you're unlikely to have been there for the initial encounter so who are you to judge whether someone is trying to hurt police versus someone who is being assaulted by the police after having committed no crime and is only trying to protect themselves from a bunch of roided-out criminals? These fights often involve police kneeling on people's arms and legs, immobilizing them completely, while shouting "give me your hands" or "stop resisting" so that it appears to bystanders that it's a two-way fight and not just a motionless person getting the shit beat out of them. I can't count the number of bodycam videos I've seen where you can clearly see the 'suspect's' hands pinned down by other police while being punched in the face for not putting their hands behind their back.

Well Bob Swan did dump $20 billion on a single stock buyback that only elevated the share price for like 2 weeks and Brian Krzanitch saw delay after delay on 14nm which resulted in turning their two year lead into a two year defecit. There's definitely truth to Pat's words.
