The Cascading MFFY Effect by Sharon
This happened yesterday and was such a stunning example of MFFY-ness (and a near-accident) that I wrote to the local police about it. Here's what I emailed to them (with some notes for clarity in brackets), and then after that is the police's response. The officer states facts, but sadly it...

A great place to jack a car by 223rem
Those self-serve car washes are great places for jacking cars. Especially when people are vacuuming their cars, looking down at the floor mats, completely unaware of their surroundings, and with the noise of the vaccum making it impossible to hear anything. I've seen women in nice SUVs at such car...

Driving through US with temporary car registration.. by Voice of Reason
If it would make you feel safer just stick to this side of the border. The Trans-Canada Highway is as good as any roads in the United States, there's no shortage of accommodation along the way and it's been an exceptionally mild winter across the southern prairies so far.

Moving car through U.S. from Canada on temporary registration? by DP
Hello, I'll be buying a car in another province in Canada and driving it back through the U.S. to my home province with a temporary registration permit. This means that the car will not have any plates in place and will only have a temporary paper permit placed on the front window. To me, this...

Lights should switch to blink mode during low demand by JohnH
We've all done it; sat at a red light with no other cars to be seen. All modern lights have traffic sensors and are computer controlled. It would be a trivial programming task to sense general traffic density (x cars / hr) and have the light transition to flash mode (flash amber on primary route,...

Sometimes, being nice pays off.... by necromancer
Something of note from tonight's trip to J-ville. I was going to the Aerosmith/Lenny Kravitz concert at the Arena. I'm in the line to enter the parking lot when this guy in a newer Caddy to my left wants to get in to make the turn to the parking lot also. Usually I wouldn't have done it, but I let...

Any good 12v tyre inflators? by Lee Derbyshire
Hi All. I was hoping to buy a good 12v (i.e. cigarette lighter) tyre pump, but no-one I've asked has had anything good to say about any of them. I borrowed one from a neighbour, and it was, frankly, pathetic. Does anyone know of one that actually works well? If not, is there anything else...

If Aunt Judy Were Mayor... by Ad absurdum per aspera
I wonder about that sign (the one I saw was similar but on the west side, facing the southbound lanes). It's big and professionally made up, but seems awfully unofficial, and is strung up across the side of some kind of agricultural trailer, and my guess is that it's on private land too. Just...
