What you also want is that fake skin stuff they use in the movies. Put it on your calf and then cover with the fake skin and top with one of those sleeves that look like a full tattoo. Then when you get locked up you can reach your leg and tear the key out.

I think that act would immediately put you in an uphill battle to prove you weren't attempting escape or resisting arrest even if you didn't do anything. Directly illegal? I don't know. Indirectly illegal? Probably.

I knew someone who got in trouble for missing a court date for a speeding ticket he was going to challenge, but then forgot to pay due to the inconvenient time (his claim). The bigger issue was that he left the country on vacation around the court date, so he was picked up when he returned from his trip for whatever violation. He asked if the cops could take him without handcuffs to avoid freaking out his kids. They said no. But they did agree to let him be cuffed in front with a sweater covering the cuffs.

There's also a difference between detention and arrest (even though most people might think they're the same)... so that might have to be factored in too.

What if you uncuffed yourself and then immediately recuffed yourself. Like a “hey look at me! just kidding guys, take me away.” Could be a fun little bit.

For a White person, at least.

Cheese slices are so fkn gross I can't believe they exist. Fk you cheese slice people.

If so I'd like to pick one up in case I'm ever cuffed. If I ever get nabbed for something imma try to escape, so I'd like to be prepared.

I mean, maybe circumstances specific, but cops here might be chill enough to be like "Ha, ha, ha. Stop." And not freaking out. I wouldn't recommend ever trying that in the States though.

I got a Subaru to replace my POS Audi. Anyone own one of these lesmobiles?

There is this XMode button that seems to be awesome in the neighborhood but the dash icons seem to turn off after a minute or so and I have to keep pressing it after every stop. I’ve tried googling it and it doesn’t really answer the questions I have.

It does something initially in the snow and seems to turn off then flashes to S Mode? Did it do something? Is that the same mode? Is it on or is it in my head that it seemed to turn off? Is S Mode the same thing? Do I have to be stopped? Can’t it just stay in that mode? Can I get a crash course in subaru somewhere. There’s all sorts of of buttons I don’t know what they do. Instruction book not great.

X-MODE is meant to be used at low speeds. You can turn on Subaru X-MODE at 25 mph or slower, but the system will not function above 18 mph.

Does it turn off when you go faster?

What’s the point of that then?
Maybe it’s that, but then s mode comes up.

You just need to go to your local hiking trailhead and there will be dozens of Subaru owners willing to help you out.

Community Natural Foods on Sunday morning is also an option.

My buddy bought a Subaru and I love bugging him. He's a monster of a man, 6'4", 230lbs, played rugby for Canada his face and ears are chewed up.


Nothing makes me laugh more than when he pulls up and gets out of his subie

That Murph?

I did it because my car was fataed and the Toyota salesman at heninger Toyota was suck a pile of garbage. Needed a deposit for a test drive, that I snapped walked out and saw subaru, went across and said I’ll buy the only car they had available for full asking price, bought it on the spot. Like Steve Martin in planes trains. Just want a bloody car.

Hahaha, a deposit to drive a Toyota? That's insane.

I took a Raptor home by myself to see if it would fit in my garage. I took an S3 for a drive - unaccompanied - three times. Drove a Macan GTS ($160k car) with the salesman after hanging with him for 20 minutes.

Do you look sketchy or something?
