Mass inspections seem to be legit. I just wish they’d crack down on loud pipes. I’m tired of hearing drag racing motorcycles blazing down the road nearby at 4 AM.

I just wasted a whole morning getting a safety inspection done (my usual place was unexpectedly closed) and I’ve had nonsense in the past from shady shops (NY), but overall I still support it for the same reason you said.  There needs to be some standard of road worthiness.  Maybe the German TUV is overkill, but…

To me the videos are proof that comprehensive state inspections are a good thing. None of the cars in those videos have Massachusetts plates and there is a reason. If I have a wheel bearing with even a little bit of wobble it’ll get an reject. Check engine light anytime in the last 100 miles? Reject. extensive rust on…

One of the best video on the topic.

Literally every problem you listed about cyclists is done by motorists. Daily.

Tesla Model 3. I like the size, the price, the exterior styling, and could, I guess, live with the interior. I can afford it, and in 2 or 3 years will likely be looking for something electric. But the company owner is a deal breaking flaw for me (and especially my wife).

Well you know they say a noble spirit embiggens even the smallest grille.

“The acceleration is too smooth and quiet”

Yeah, I fully reject all of this. I’m a stick shift enthusiast and will miss them deeply. But I’m not a child.

And we wonder why cars cost so much. Stop spending money on stupid shit. Make it work and not break, and stop it with the gimmicks. We don’t need to pay some overpaid tech worker to program fake automatics and fart noises into our cars.

Missed this one. For a while after she divorced my first stepfather, my mother drove an automatic GEO Metro 3dr. When I was a kid, she drove a (admittedly older and slightly ratty) Porsche 911 - so that 3-cyl turdmobile was both a mighty fall and a crappy car, and certainly the worst car any of my parents ever drove.…

No shit. After the elections in November, our community got a new County Clerk. The local news was on hand when she declared victory, and she closed her statements with “I can’t wait to get to work passing new laws that protect democracy for our children and lower taxes for our community.”

Like 99% of those who scream “govt. regulation is the problem” he believes that if he says it meets regulatory requirements it should be believed

I don’t actually think he deserves that much credit. All he really seems to do is to take credit for other peoples ideas and their work. He’s the “financier”, and that’s not a negligible role, but he’s not the genius inventor by a long shot. Unfortunately he’s managed to build up this public persona of an inventor and…

Based on his claims of speed and his civil engineers have responded, government regulation is likely the main culprit for failing to deliver. As I understand it, government regulations require tunnels to be "structurally sound" and "safe", among other things. Without those regulations, would TOTALLY CRUSH the record…

Must be great to be rich enough to escape all consequences. Funny that the money’s not enough, he requires the adoration & validation he thought would flood the Twitterverse over him. A sad little man.

Maybe pick this fraud to prosecute. This time he's stolen government money, not private peoples money.

In my work, I always under-promise and over-deliver. Musk has taken a... different approach.

Thanks Lawrence, I never saw that before, now I can’t unsee it, LOL.

People really think the IA is an N? Even though that would mean it’s a backwards N? This survey only included American respondents, right?
