eh... im in the netherlands...where gas is over $2 per liter and a v8 mustang is a hundred grand car....kia stinger too...

As an enthusiast, the biggest bummer about car life in Hawaii is the low supply of older, interesting models. I mean they’re around, but often if you have a very specific want you’ll need to commit to buying from the mainland and adding another $1,200 for shipping from a west coast port.

Depends on what part of Texas. I have to drive 4-5 hours to get to the closest road course.

Any state with annual inspections and/or emissions testing is not a good state to own a car.

The smog test place plugged an OBDII dongle into my wife’s 2006 car the other day for smog check. No rollers, nothing else that I saw. Charged me $50 for it too! Aside from an annoyance fee, not a big deal, despite people on screens and in comments out of state convinced that the Golden State is a living hell, which…

Depends on what part of Texas. I have to drive 4-5 hours to get to the closest road course.  Meanwhile California is peppered with road courses.

As a Texas resident with relatives in California and Washington I have to disagree about my home state being a better place to own a car than those two states.

I feel like combining infrastructure quality and traffic is a weird/problematic choice.

California has tons of roads and the quality of the pavement isn’t that bad. There are just too many people driving on them mindlessly. Roads generally aren’t the cause of traffic, motorists are. The access to vehicles and…

It’s the glare from when there’s nothing there to reflect that’s the problem. LCDs are cheap because of the backlights, but the backlights cause glare that damages your night vision, especially as you get older.

And then you have to contrast the dirt-simple mechanics of a 1960s points-ignition car to a 2021 vehicle in terms of emissions and MPG. My first winter beater which I built in 1977 was a ‘67 Firebird where I swapped in a ‘65 Chevy 230 CI inline-six to work with the Firebird’s OEM Muncie 4-speed. I am environmentally pr…

You wouldn’t!

2 big issues/questions about these:

Hell, for me, it’s much simpler: Sideview mirrors simply look better than this. Why in god’s name would I have a thousand dollars worth of cameras and nonsense to have my car look worse?

There’s a disadvantage to using cameras rather than mirrors and it’s not one you would think of.

Ironically, this illustrates my point. The people pushing the view that video games cause violence basically poisoned the well. It’s not a question of danger, it's a question of social priority. 

Hard no.

Joke’s on them. The giant printer robot also fills the walls with empty beer cans.

You might be COVID-19 positive, I believe that is a symptom

Our perspective on video games has been permanently broken by conservative backlash in the 90s and early 2000s. Literally you can find someone on this very message board pretending that conservative efforts to censor games have been a major cultural force in the past decade or more. That fight was fought, and games…
