That plate in Vancouver and some pasty Skittles head hasn't keyed or defecated on your car?

Touch wood and cross my fingers. Like Car-Addict said. I use my common sense when I am go with this car. Most of the time, the car only hang out on tracks and the rest of the time, it parked only where i feel safe to park.

You’re a bigger target if your fear is on display. Predators can smell the fear on prey.

Take a look at the demographics of where you live before you start bloviating about fear. You need to visit a nice culturally enriched hellscape to understand. Any large metropolitian city will suffice, but for best results visit one with strong anti-gun policies. Let me know how safe you feel.

At least with a no-gun law you can stand a chance in this met area.

$1 Trillion In Taxpayer Funds For ‘Green Subsidies'
February 08, 2024
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Director Phillip Swagel testified that the cost of the green pork provisions included in 2022 Inflation (Reduction) Act is likely to total $1 trillion.
Finally, even the $1 trillion figure may end up being an underestimate of these subsidies’ full fiscal effect. According to The Wall Street Journal, a report from Goldman Sachs last March indicated that the green subsidies would cost at least $1.2 trillion — 20 percent higher than CBO’s newly raised estimates. That data point suggests that the budget office’s estimates of this green pork may rise even higher.

So remember to thank your kid's, grand kid's, great grand kid's and great great grand kids for your government cheese rebate on your long gone EV.

How Much is a TRILLION?
If you owned a trillion dollars and spent $1,000,000 each day, it would take you just under 2,740 years to spend it all.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight. It has been my experience that criminals have a tendency NOT to follow laws.

Do you think the Chiefs' victory rally in Kansas City was a safe place?

Also from today's news:
California grandfather fatally shot while trying to apologize for fender bender at Walmart
According to the San Bernardino Police Department, Jonathan Mauk arrived at the Walmart parking lot at around 8 p.m. and was searching for an open spot. As he maneuvered his vehicle through an aisle, the female suspect, Norton, was backing out of a parking spot.

"For whatever reason, the victim stopped and slowly backed his vehicle up, and that’s when he had a collision with the suspect’s vehicle," Capt. Nelson Carrington told KTLA.
The female suspect, identified as Shawntece Norton, 36, got out of her vehicle, shot Jonathan Mauk in the face and drove off.
Police said no one was hurt in the collision and that the minor fender bender resulted in just a scratch or two, KTLA reported.

Thanks for confirming you’re terrified.

You’re a gun person (a competitive shooter you said). So safe to say you’re probably armed since you’re so scared all the time.

You could easily have been Shawntece from the mess you shared. Saw a car backing up to you and rolled the window down and now you’re terrified they are going to do you harm after hitting your car so you shoot. Fear does a lot to you.

Less guns and less room for that to happen, but you’re against that as you need the gun nearby to calm your jitters by making you “feel” stronger.

Weak, but here we are.

What does where I live have to do with anything?

In America everyone can have a gun and we’re getting mass shootings so often in so many places of all shapes and sizes. We might as well call it an American Past Time like baseball or football.

Either way, I’m not running around scared. I wasn’t raised to be a wuss.

That doesn’t mean I’m going to be afraid to drive around because something can fall out of the sky at anytime.

If I found myself in a dark alley with some “feral” in a “pack” I’d handle it if they decided it needed to turn into that.

Last time that happened. I was approached by 5 people who flashed a weapon at me and asked me to empty my pockets. I laughed at them straight to their face and kept walking. The got the message and went looking for prey.

Don’t look weak and you won’t get taken advantage of.

But..getting back to EV buses Mayor S Khan has not responded on calls from the to ry party to withdraw all EV buses from London because of some of them catching fire randomly. Instead a Transport for London spokesman has answered for him saying there is 'no immediate danger' and the risk is not high enough.

Probably bus garage staff didn't even have a chance to use the hanging hand held extinguishers and running for their lives instead.

This unlucky man didn't have the chance to see his daughter grow up. He was killed in the middle of the day in front of the Starbucks in the busy downtown Vancouver. The reason he got killed because he asked the suspect not to vape near his daughter.

It explains the old joke about why do men die younger than women? Men tend to underestimate risk, suppress emotions and be more impulsive and sensation-seeking. They take more frequent and more dangerous risks Good to hear you live life like no tomorrow.

I can feel your plain. At the same time, I can feel my plain too. How can my government just keep wasting money for something that doesn't work.

Why some P.E.I. bus drivers are getting fed up with their new electric school buses.

Fear and stress prematurely ages you and kills you younger.

Not to mention it is just miserable to carry around all the time.

Glad I don't live like many in this tread just scared of everything.

I'm sure they did.

Ask someone something with the brains of a rocking horse and carrying a knife...
you yourself can put someone down when threatened because of your training and being prepared for anything.

Just wait until EV people are fighting for the public charging stations. It already happening in Vancouver. This is real deal.
