It’s possible to sidestep the Shaken of you don’t drive your car all the. Temporary plates with the red slash will get you on the road without a Shaken and a bit of smooth talking may avoid a ticket. Or the ticket is,the cost of doing business since my contact only goes to Japan for 2 months Ata time, runs his modified…

“Imagine paying ~$1,000 year to own a car”

Typical Certificate of Entitlement cost (which merely gives you the RIGHT to own a car) is currently around USD80,000. It is hard to give an exact figure because they are obtained via auction. I am not arguing with their rationale for making car ownership expensive, but damn.

Nobody does it like Singapore.

Singapore says “Hi”!

It only works in Japan because they have a really great public transportation system and their entire country is the size of California. The idea of taxing cars by weight is something that should be done here, as well as legalizing Kei cars for any roads that are under 50 mph.

That was Arne Toman and his “Fraud” Taurus, as he called it, a modified Audi S6. I met Arne and his car when they joined us on a rally a couple of months ago. People really did move out of the way.

There’d be a lot less surprise in that. Cops are all over musclecar-lookin’ rides like Marauders. Insurance companies charge you big time because those cars are theft bait too.

My pappy said, “Son, you’re gonna’ drive me to drinkin’
If you don’t stop drivin’ that Hot Rod Lincoln.”

Just gonna leave this here...

Who the heck would pay to ‘share’ my car anyway? You’d need a car to come get my car from where it’s usually parked (work or home), which would kinda defeat the purpose.

I can’t see how any auto maker would pay to advertise on a platform owned by a competitor. Besides, the only people on twitter are millionaires, billionaires, and politicians and the journalists and fanboys that follow them.

“still engaging on Twitter as appropriate.”

Seriously? I expected the explanation to be something lame, but not that fucking lame.

lol ok boomer

I think you’re overstating the importance of Twitter. I don’t use it and I am none the worse for it (I did try it - I found it to be pointless). Anyway, if it did go down, something else would replace it.

I think he’s underestimating how much good will has been lost by #1. People won’t just forget his idiotic decisions.

When I’m stuck in traffic behind a Model X, I amuse myself by checking out how badly aligned the thousandaire doors are at the top.

The 911 Dakar is a more plausible soft road sports car. This just feels like an appearance package for Coloradan crypto bros.

Welcome to the electric future. If it wasn’t an Chinese backed refinery, it would have been a NA company, a EU company, or etc...
