Cool generalization based on your own biased, anecdotal experience.

I’m tired of helping the bottom third of the class, but it seems we’re stuck with them.

And in the United States, classism and racism are intertwined. You can’t separate poverty from racism in history or policy. Yes, there are poor white people and wealthy black people, but the history of the US has basically been the exploitation of minorities and the creation of a permanent working class.

As for the…

You are also aware that something can be classist and racist at the same time (meaning that they are not mutually exclusive)?

Voter ID laws are the definition of institutionalized racism.

voter ID = poll tax is really all that needs to be said, so kudos for the comparison.

Saying, “I need an ID to buy a candy bar with my credit card so why shouldn’t I need my ID to vote,” is a false equivalence, but it has the appeal of being logically sound on the surface. And that’s why politicians have found voter ID laws to be such a potent weapon.

You’re right, there’s no way any track or sanctioning body would ever allow a track car to run without a windshield. I’m so STUPID. God, what an idiot. It’s like I never researched this, or discussed it with anyone who knows anything about racing. It’s almost like I wasn’t ever on the board of directors of an SCCA…

Yes. Let me know if you need a letter from your (automotive) doctor.

The term “schtick” implies some kind of performance. This is not that, it’s a passion that has existed since I was a child (a passion so strong it drove me to study engineering, move to Detroit, and work for Jeep).

I’m just buying whatever vehicle I want to buy (remember, I have to pay for these machines with my own…

I paid $3,500 for my J10. Worth every penny.

Ooohhh! Ooooooh!!!!

I only bought one car in Europe. The other secret car that I own is one that’s sitting on an island in Washington.

My response: If Democrats rigged the election for Biden, why wouldn’t they also rig it to get rid of McConnell and Graham? Or at least ensure a majority in the Senate?

While technically a 2-stroke, the GM Diesel (sometimes know as the Detroit Diesel, or a Jimmy.) is very different from a motorcycle 2-stroke. It has valve gear in the head, but they’re only exhaust valves. There are intake ports in the cylinders that are fed by a roots-style scavenge pump. A “Blower.” The Detroit…

This isn’t the airport, you don’t have to announce your departure. 

Nuetral- End fuel economy targets full stop. Focus regulation on exhaust quality for ALL vehicles- no more heavy truck or motorcycle leeway. Close all loopholes pertaining to trucks/SUV’s that have made them so attractive to produce. Outlaw all lift kits not certified by a state certified engineer. Stiff crash…

It’s not what’s inside the garage (more robot workshop and EE lab), but outside....

I can find the MT09, Street Triple, and 790 Duke all under $10k on cycle trader right now. All offer 100hp and competent handling.

We have a really low minimum wage, no mass transit system and many rural areas where most transit schemes wouldn’t be cost efficient. But our poor people, especially rural ones, still need transportation. Thus we have low or nonexistent minimums for inspections and insurance.
