No one with any sort of love for cars would do this

Cars are used by a status symbol by a large amount of people but any smart drug dealer knows that you don't want a drug dealer car.  It creates more headache than usual. Drug dealers are entrepreneurs, and like any good start up business they aren't going to do anything to stop the flow of money.

The people doing this to their car are idiots. They are the same jackasses that dress and act like criminals but don't tie their shoes or wear a belt. A good criminal knows that you cant hop fences or run from the cops with clunky ass untied boots on and your pants wrapped around your knees like a bolas. The same way kids with purple mohawks are spending more time ripping up their clothes than ripping up the inside of someones car.

When I look at "young punks" these days I laugh. I wear a button up shirt because I can get away with a hell of a lot more, and when the guy in slacks starts waving a pipe at someone a hush rushes over the crowd.

Dress sane, act crazy. Get away with anything you want.

Fixing Shit.

Empty_freeway

Why do we act like the freeways are owned by somebody else? Technically we are paying for them and when I pay for something I like to make my own decisions on how to use it. I know I am not the sole owner of the freeway but I think we can all agree on one thing. This speed limit thing needs some tinkering from the scientists at the Murder Rebel Radio Institute of Civil Engineering. Here is why.

We all know that people probably need to regulate their speed during rush hour. It makes sense, it seems like one way to make sure that most people make it home from work without incident. I am not suggesting that we abolish speed limit (full disclosure: I would personally be cool with abolishing the speed limit but I would also get rid of lanes and traffic lights. I love calamity though). This is a compromise.

We are all familiar with school zones. They make us drive at unreasonably slow speeds during certain hours because, as it is well known, kids don't have eyes and they are notoriously slow. When those hours are up and all of the children are safely placed back in their bubble wrapped egg carton we resume normal speeds. Why can't this work anywhere else?

I see a 4 lane highway at 4 a.m. as the wild west. Why shouldn't people be able to race on it? Most of us are in bed, and the only other people on the road are cops that are trying to stop people from doing something that is not affecting polite society at all. Wasn't the freeway designed to get people to where they are going as fast as possible? Well at 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday night the possibility should open up. I can safely drive 100 mph, and if I can't my car will flip and I will die. I pay taxes to keep the roads cleaned. Clean me up and chalk it up as me collecting on my last tax payment, I won't take anymore.

To sum up. Rush hour speed limit 75. Any time between rush hour, no speed limit. We may have to make all new signs, but we won't need highway patrolmen sitting on empty roads at 2:00 a.m. so that saves tons of money.

Listen to the new show at bit.ly/listentomrr . We teach you how to have a real "staycation", so we don't just fix your civil engineering problems we also fix all of society's problems.
