Reminds me of when New Orleans hosted the IMSA GT “Grand Prix du Mardi Gras” in the early ‘90s. Race organizers were all “it will bring so many people to downtown,” but no one wanted to be anywhere near the track because of the traffic mess it would cause.

As someone who grew up in a town that is a major tourist area (Seaside, Oregon and what a shithole) that holds several big events like, world beach volleyball tournament, a large kite and sandcastle festival, and the largest relay run in the country. These bring a lot of revenue for lodging, food and beverage, but not…

Restaurants make money, hotels make money, and everyone else deals with the pandemonium and sees very little revenue increase during the event, this is kind of a unique scenario.

We see the trucks with Canadian plates sometimes down here in NY that have the confederate flags. I just can’t comprehend it. 

It’s an avenue for culture war propaganda, and with inflation down, gas prices down, grocery prices down, and the economy roaring, conservative think-tanks and strategists need every avenue they can find to stoke the culture war (see: migrant caravans, which always seem to show up right when a Democrat president is…

Like blacked out brake lights. It’s not necessarily that it looks awful, it’s just a stupid thing to do. 

How TF would this be considered the ultimate snowboard shuttle? It’s an extended cab and lifted way up in the air so it’s only going to easily fit two people (not good when one person still has to drive it back to the bottom of the slope) and you need an apartment emergency egress ladder to climb into the damn thing.…

Shit my WRX gets close to 750 km on a tank, and it very clearly has comprised some efficiency and economy for performance.

Glad to see others share the outrage of ignoring a song that shows the stark reality of Christmas. Not everyone gets a happy Christmas. 

Seems like all those folks that have the mega campers towing a car could go with EV’s pretty easy,  just plug em in when you get to the campground.  Most RV sites for Campers have at least 1 50A and usually another pair of 30Amp plugs.  Seems an EV would be perfect for cruising around at a destination once you got…

I don’t need to go 0-60 in under five seconds. I need range,

1). 100% this. I’m with you. I don’t want my ev to be a compromise, and I don’t mean just in range. I want the same vehicle I’d already buy, for the same or almost the same price, only as an EV.

oh, it will have been much, much more than that. A “normal” Chiron Super Sport already costs $4 million on its own, and choosing the Vagues de Lumière paint on its own likely runs upwards of $500K. 

hahahaha took the words out of my mouth.

If ever there was a poster child for applying Georgia’s death penalty statute, I couldn’t think of a worthier candidate. But I bet she gets off with 15 years or so because redeemable21yearoldwhitegirlblahblahblah.

I wonder what submenu Teslas have the horn control under.

I imagine they construct their little hives wearing leather gloves, a scarf draped betwixt their wings, sipping oolong at 10AM each morning droning on about the fanciness of it all, until the Queen wakes and requests more flouncing.

Ah, okay :o)

I live in Western Canada and even if the plow has gone across the road you often have accumulations of snow and have no option but to drive on it. This however seems a complicated and expensive solution.

I should have known that someone of taste would post the same lyrics. It’s almost time for the annual Christmas Eve cry while listening.
