Every once in a while (as in, once every few months), usually when I am waiting and trying to turn at a busy intersection with no lights, my automatic 2006 Toyota would stall.

Mechanics at the Toyota garage didn't notice anything during the last service, but I wasn't going to pay them a small fortune to get a transmission apart when its such a minor thing. I just switch to neutral before I am sure I can go, to make sure it doesn't happen.

problem is super-hard to Google for. any one of you had anything similar happen?

Is "moin" derived from "morgen"?  The few times I've heard it, I've just assumed it was sort of a lazy way of saying "morgen".

Has it happened any since the last service?

A satirical radio show launched a fake news website with half real tabloid news half made up news, now a couple of days after it was on the real news where they interviewed a lady who was angry that she was fooled by it, saying the radio station shouldn't be allowed to make fake news. They get a few experts in journalism on and they all call it a stupid idea to make such a site. But during the interview the angry lady realises that she might actually have learned something when she comments that maybe she shouldn't just read headlines but be a little more critical about what is served on Facebook.

Engine stall should have nothing to do with the transmission.  It has to do with too low an idle.  Ask them about it at your next service, but question what they're going to do before you authorize it.

Is it throwing any codes? Hook an OBDII reader up to see if it is.

2006? Don't take it to a Stealership. Find a good shop.

My crazy neighbor, who had threatened to "shoot me in the fucking face" because he thought I was "casing him"--even though we've lived across from each other for years--and had to call the cops on to save his life, suddenly passed away last week.

Yeah.  That's right.

Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Count deMoney.


The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Do they know the cause of death?  How close are they?

Who gives a rat fuck how he died. He drove a Benz e550 and let his dog off the leash to shit.

All I have to say is, that better not be my one allotted Scanners kill.

Lots of people do.  Everyone that has angered you, for starters. :unsure:
