That’s insane, and proves that the congestion charge was never about reducing congestion to begin with but rather generating revenue to prop up a non-performing bus/tube service.

Nonsense. The government has infinite money. And billionaires will loan them more if they run out. And if not we’ll tax their companies of their infinite corporate wealth. The people will be insulated from the cost of this crisis entirely as long as we vote correctly.

Just proves that congestion charges, deposit bottle taxes and others are a tax first, and and other public good attached is just coverage to get a tax passed. That a particular tax has any other public good properties is just a happy accident, exploited by those that pass the tax.

This is a total Slaw Man argument

I dunno, I couldn’t get the animation above to play. I had to see about finding it on my own, and found their YouTube version (at least I think it’s the same one) in Supercinemascope or whatever:

If you truly want to go the opposite direction of popular trends:

The world in 2020 if the US implemented kei car regulations at the same time as Japan:

If you listen closely enough you can actually hear it pleading to be driven through your screen

Just watched that last night!

“The asking price of $54,500 seems kind of cheap if you just came from Ford’s build-and-price site the 5:00 free crack giveaway.”

At least with Ferrari he’d be getting podiums, could even pull a Rosberg and sneak in a Championship win. 

I wonder how Kimi feels about that. Granted, he seemed pretty happy to go to Sauber/Alfa Romeo, but I feel Kimi was in the same boat as LeClerc. On average the “#2” driver outperformed the “#1” driver for the last 4 years, but Ferrari’s gonna Ferrari and favor “#1”. Now that Vettel is leaving, I’d love to see LeClerc…

It’s a sore topic for a lot of people. You can still be fined for bringing it up in conversation in the capital city of Listingrad.

Yes! I once saw an old catalog that had a bunch of axles that bolted to the bumper brackets.

My grandfather always hated galvanizing because of this.

Fun fact: These cars had a reputation for being coveted by insurance fraudsters because their stopping ability could practically guarantee a rear end collision on demand. They were banned in Klurgzistan, a country with cars made from materials like plastic and recycled paper due to international sanctions banning the…

Is it true that the modding community there has specialized in adding extra front axles on imports, just to bring the braking power up to Redhornian standards?

It’s Czech for “Jello Picnic”, a European precursor to Cars & Coffee.

That extra-boxy Motocompo prototype reminded me of this:

I still wish Honda would build this.
