Vehicles
I knew a man who knew all about his truck, its engine displacement, gear ratios, you name it. But when I asked him about his blood pressure, he replied that the doctor said it was OK. I thought to myself: Ken needs to get his vehicular priorities straight lest the via dolorosa through this vale…

Soaring Auto Insurance Rates
I received the bill for my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport the other day: $302.89 for six months. For the preceding six months I paid 274.09, and the six months before that 260.42. So yesterday I paid my agent a visit and reminded him of my stratospherically high credit rating, my lack of claims, my sterling…

Negative Events: Likelihood versus Gravity of Occurrence
Suppose you pack heat. Someone might ask you, "But what is the likelihood that you, given your cautious and circumspect style of life, will ever be in a situation in which you will need to defend your life, or a family member's life, with deadly force?" The question is legitimate. The answer is as follows.…

Home of the Free?
Dementocrat scum at it again unopposed by 19 Republican turkeys. Now I know when to buy a new Jeep.

De-Dox Your Glove Box!
And what might I mean by that? I mean remove documents from your glove compartment or other easily accessible areas in your vehicle wherein it would be unwise to carry them given the spike in crime of all sorts caused by such Democrat policies as defunding the police and eliminating cash bail. I count four…

Go Gray!
The car of a neighbor sports a bumper sticker: "I vote pro-gun!" I say go gray. Never advertise your political views when you are out and about in public. These are dangerous times as polarization peaks and comity collapses. You must of course speak out, stand up, and prepare. I am not advocating timid withdrawal…

Philosophers as Bad Drivers?
Reader Riccardo writes, I remember reading on your blog some time ago an hilarious post with an anecdote on Richard Swinburne. It was about the importance for philosophers of developing practical skills in addition to intellectual ones. In the same post you recounted how you and Swinburne were driving together to a conference and he…

Of Gasoline, Oil, and Masks
I gassed up the Jeep Wrangler at Costco, Mesa yesterday to the tune of $2.899 per gallon for regular. Shell and other distributors were charging $3.18. Those of you who live under Californication are paying a lot more. Please take no offense, but you should really consider your complicity in allowing leftist termites to undermine…

What to Do if a Cop Stops You
The following advice can save your life, especially if you are an impulsive black not brought up to respect legitimate authority. And yes, the authority of the police is legitimate even if the particular cop you encounter is an arrogant asshole as some of them are. Pull over when it is safe to do so.…

Gasoline
I paid $2.99/gal for unleaded regular on 9/30 at a local Shell station. I usually gas up at Costco where I could have saved around 20 cents per gallon. I wonder what the poor schmucks in the People's Sanctuary of Californication pay.

To Hell With the Driverless Car
Here: These days, Real Americans don’t much go to sea to relieve the damp, drizzly Novembers in our souls, but we do like to fire up the muscle Mustang or the F-150 truck with the gun rack and head out on the open road, following our noses and letting the trade winds blow us where…

Automotive Profiling
'Profiling' drives liberals crazy, which is a good reason to do more of it. No day without political incorrectness. Here is a form of profiling I engage in, and you should too. You are on the freeway exercising due diligence. You are not drunk or stoned or yapping on a cell phone. You espy an…
