All seems reasonable. But here’s a question:

Yup. Lawsuit. Civil violations. If only they'd blurred the offenders faces.

Counterpoint: more so than ‘dawn of justice’

Let’s see. If we average damage from the Dark Knight trilogy plus Man of Steel, compare it to an average of both captain America movies plus both avengers movies, the answer is....sorry. I don’t know. If you average property damage between each set of four movies, it’s probably a wash. If you average body count, DC…

If everyone sits back and says “it’s not that bad”, then they'll expand their power again, and again.

And here's a counterpoint, what they think of us. http://www.independentsentinel.com/epa-fines-wyom…

Not true. It isn’t about blaming people who break existing laws. It’s about the EPA creating new laws and expanding their power to control everything.

“Embodied energy”. Oh. You mean CO2. Funny thing: earth has been warming at approximately the same rate for over 200 years, and CO2 started rising 100 years ago. Mountain glacial retreat has been recorded all over the world for almost 250 years. Sea level has been rising and falling slowly, with overall rise, for…

If their purpose was to control smog, a smog test would require one thing: passing a tailpipe sniff test. Instead, they are interested primarily in whether or not the car has been “tampered with”.

Sorry. But Hillary is a much closer fit to the Master of Laketown from the Hobbit series.

It IS post apocalyptic; their world ended.

I had forgotten all about cornering lights, because I’ve never owned a vehicle that had them. I just bought a 12-year-old Buick Regal GS (with only 37k miles!!), and it has cornering lights. They’re wonderful! I think I might like them better than the supercharger. Uh, oh. I think that statement just made me “old”.

Typical white liberal elitist. Give the appearance of diversity, not the reality.

I assume you mean “climatic” repurcussions...

“A national conversation about guns”?

Yeah. I have to agree. They were loaded for war...or a massacre...not self-defense.

Your description of driving an actual Hellcat under ordinary conditions reminds me of a car my brother once built. He took a ‘67 Firebird (probably the lightest of the bunch at 3,300 pounds, about 1,200 pounds less than a Hellcat), added a Super Duty 455, and built it up. I don’t know how much power it made, but…

My BMW R90S, which was made before motorcycle smog controls, used to average about 52 on the highway. My Norton 750 used to get over 60. Then again, my R90 only had 67 hp, my Norton only 58. Times change. Lots more horsepower, uses lots more fuel.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah...You’re right. You’d think the Gigantor V-10 would live in a sedan, and the smaller, but supercharged monster would power their top of the line sports car. Oh, well. I guess they figure their 8.4 liter pickup truck motor still has some life left in it.
