This was a great piece, and I don't think you have anything to apologize for! You committed a crime malum prohibitum; that is, it is illegal only by virtue of a statute, not because it is evil in and of itself. There is no shame in that, other than the fact that there is a State in the union that forced you to go to…

Not true. I got caught speeding in VA. I forgot about it after I got back home a couple of weeks later. Then I get a letter in a the mail saying you failed to pay, etc..

So I call them up, explain how I forgot, then paid over the phone. Fast Forward a couple of years and it's time for me to get my FL license renewed. I…

Whose life was saved here? The non-existent people on the empty road? It turns out that invisible people are also invincible, so you needn't worry about hitting them.

Bullshit. Do you work for the state PR department or something?

You have been completely hoodwinked. It is all about profit. The Virginia prison and jail system has been privatized and they make money off of every inmate. That money makes it back to the politicians, through campaign contributions, then they make these laws to benefit the companies that run these prisons. …

Yea, because jails aren't run for profit...nincompoop. You smell like pork.

The stupidity that gets people killed, the aspects of the vehicle code that are broken, are not enforced in any meaningful way if going slow enough. My example is a local case where a woman drove up on the sidewalk at the posted speed limit and killed a kid. She was sober. $79 ticket for driving on the sidewalk. From…

Are you just looking for something to complain about?

This is why the chevy v8 has won the green x challenge in alms/imsa series for the last 4 years..

Aas an economy engine?lol

Lol

But if the engine is physically bigger, and gets less power out of fuel consumed, how does it make sense saying it's more efficient? Converting gasoline to hp is a better metric than converting empty space inside the engine to hp, unless you have a limit on the empty space inside the engine for some reason (taxes or…

"It has everything to do with engine size and efficiency. "

For the sake of argument, I took the 7.0L LS7 engine c02 emissions of 1.08/mile, converted it to g/km. The result is roughly 304.4 g/km. I then searched for an AMG SLS model and found the following site which is actually a very useful resource.

I like all these engines. But the HP/L argument is only valid for race regulations. These cars are not being tuned for a GT race competition, so HP/L is a moot attribute.

Euro 6 is a cakewalk... compared to CARB standards as far as emissions are concerned. Too bad very few people realise this.

This engine is kind of pathetic.

How is the Fiero not dominating the Prelude? Is this not Jalopnik, where obscurities such as America's first and only mass production mid-engine, RWD car, available with a V6 and manual, and with a curb weight under 3,000 lbs should be worshipped? The Prelude is a FWD Honda. Come on people, the answer is obvious.

The dangerous smog levels that Paris had been suffering under – caused in large part by the Diesel particulates from Paris' many Diesels – was over double the safe limit, but after a single day of half the car population, it now seems under control.

He should have killed four people, he would have gotten a lighter sentence. Or he can tell the judge he's a wealthy day treader and didn't know any better.
