You have no idea how bad I wish I had known about this event before it had happened. I would have been on this like something on something, because I was out of work all summer. I don’t know if I’ll be able to swing that kind of time off again next year, either.

Presumably so the nosegear didn’t sink into the soft dirt.
Woosh.
Yeah, this is...a thing. That’s for sure.
Cannot be unseen.
Retired as in destroyed. In a dignified manner, specifically. They’re not being flown on flagpoles, sure, but they’re still being displayed, and if they are being displayed they are supposed to be in good condition.
The flag code says that when the flag is no longer fit for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, generally by burning. While indeed a neat record of the tower’s history, a torn and tattered flag is not considered fit to be displayed.
While neat, those flags all need to be retired.
Yeah, you’re comparing multi-million dollar supercars with electronic nannies out the ass and the engine in the back. We’re talking normal people cars. You’re basically comparing apples to tractors.
I don't care how bad the prequels we're and how poorly they portrayed it, but pod racing is fucking cool.

Partially. Not really.
That’s good at least. I figured BMW would have done something about it by now, but you never know.
Have they fixed how harsh they are? We had a 12 and it felt like it had rebar in place of the struts. Not great for a commute.
Hah. You write as if I can afford this 911.
As long as it’s not red or blue, most jurisdictions allow it. A lot will have a waiver for reds too if you do search and rescue and the like, depending on the scenario.
The point I was making is that the small nimbleness of a little car means nothing if you’re sitting still in traffic. I’ve seen enough dashcam videos to know how incredibly quick and inconcievably quiet a vehicle can be while crashing.
And if you’re looking the other direction at a stop light when that car comes out of nowhere, because it skipped a median down the road and is now completely out of control? (Within reason) larger vehicles are going to be generally safer. My 124's roof comes up to about the top of the wheel well on a new Silverado. I…
