I nearly struck a woman last night. She popped out from a building right into the blind spot of my right windshield pillar. S#it happens behind the wheel. Sorry for the old man, the mom and especially the kid. Bad luck.

For me, spoken Japanese is a process of slang. A new way to describe something. Writing/reading it? Forget it.

NY cops call this "Stick Time". (Nightstick/Baton). I imagine the perp went nuts faster than the cops could react with batons.

Posted in: 24 cases of car navigator system thefts reported in Saitama See in context
disillusioned: razor blades taped behind the housing of a car stereo is a deterrent ive heard of. thief scrambles around under the dashboard to unplug wires and cuts his fingertips to ribbons before he relizes the trap. Also heard of prosecution of the folks that lay this trap. kinda like the dude that trip-wired a shotgun to his door, which killed the burglar and landed the dude in prison for murder. Get insurance. its easy. vigilantiasim is a no-win. besides, you might sell the car and forget its "upgrade" when listing its points. heh!

I heard the original brass statue of Hachiko was melted down to shell/bullet casings for the war effort. What you see today is a copy of the original statue.

So.... I suggest poker cards, clamped by wood clothes-line pins, clacking against wire-spoke wheels. Worked for me when I was 6. I had a "Harley" bicycle.
But seriously. Hybrids are dangerous, this is new technology and there will be growing pains. Bosozoku under the hood would be great, if a bit much.
Damn I hate bosozoku. :( I want to sleep.

oneforall: I concur. Eminent Domain needs to step in.
But, no place is perfect. If you have kids, you might consider moving to another country.

ushigasuki: Suicide Club was the 1st rental dvd I ejected within seconds and snapped in half and then again. Terrible, terrible content. If you like shocking media, there it is.
I told the rental dude it went missing during a party. He was sad cause he hadnt seen it yet and that was the only copy. Movie Bad. Article about Director, GOOD.
