That won’t matter, any accident involving a modern vehicle is going to turn the occupants of cars like this into paste anyway. There are a bunch of cars like this I’d want to own, a Big Healey comes to mind, but I just don’t think they are survivable anymore on today’s American roads. Really disappointing.

The Aussies have champs as well:

It’s hot outside, so we could all use a laugh. Let’s check the credentials of the alleged government expert selected by Fox News to wax philosophic for the good people of America. Was he the Administrator of the FAA? An Associate Administrator? Even a Division Director, with decades of practical experience that should…

Your anecdotes may be true. They are also irrelevant. We don’t choose our language based on percentages, and I don’t especially care what you honestly expect. We choose language so that each and every member of the community is equally respected and offered equal dignity.

Back in the day, Cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) referred to the women of the first classes of female Cadets as “cockpits.” It was a clever term, it amused many, it was already extremely fucked up at the time, and did great damage that we’re beginning to undo only fairly recently.

“Betteridge’s law of headlines.”

Crowdsource the legal bills, Emma, I’m very much in.

Hungary: also pretty dumb. So it’s us and Hungary.

Yeah, tbh, if he’s driving 24 mph over the limit on 70 and 76 in PA he’s getting passed.

Virginia is an “Implied consent” state - you consented to being tested when you got your license. You can refuse to take the test in the field. If you’re arrested, though, refusing to take the more complete test at the station is a civil offense. 1st time, lose license for a year, in addition to anything that came…

I’m starting to think that I’m only here for the dopamine hit I get from hate-reading this stuff.

Well said.

Wats are in no way better than Minilites, they just have marketing that’s more furious. Among other reasons, it is written that you can put Wats only on Japanese cars, but you can correctly put Minilites and Panasports on any car ever made.

Then that’s what gets reported.

We don’t do that j-stuff here. I get my dopamine hits here just by hate-reading.

I’m in Old Town. I would have been willing to listen to a proposal, but no one ran on the idea, the Mayor sponsored it and then immediately announced that he was not running again, and the BS message being repeated was that this somehow wouldn’t cost anything. Wrt Amazon, as I was driving towards Crystal City after…

If I found a good ZR-1 I might do something stupid, though the interior design doesn’t work for me at all. The Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet has a similar vibe, much better car than the C4.

I’m with you. Very 365 GTS/4 Daytona.

He did fine, and CNBC named VA as best state for business twice in a row. IIRC, there was an investigation about that incident that couldn’t determine if it was even him. I just have a little extra respect for people who put in the work to actually get good at the job they’re running for, and Ralph had 10 years of…
