I see your point. I think I have a stricter definition of capitalism, which requires both sides to be playing with their own money. This precludes any interaction with a government agency from being capitalism.

Since it looks like your grandmothers FWD V6 and most boy racers have never heard of it, I suppose SS now stands for Super Sleeper. an enterprising street racer could make his loan back first year.

This has nothing to do with capitalism as there is no free market where the public gets to decide what fines they pay. This is straight up government oppression, where those given a public trust denied due process in order to make their lives easier.

Here are a couple of commas for your headline maker[,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,]. Also,

I was in VF-101 in the eightys and we had a deer hit a Tomcat on its takeoff roll. If I remember correctly the aircraft was just up to rotation speed when the deer slammed into the right main landing gear. I cannot remember if the aircraft aborted or flew around the pattern and landed, but I do remember that there was…

Maybe it is political

How much of this is just because of the trip and how much is money that is going to be spent anyway?

Gloves, Vice

From the article you quoted, “A subsequent study concluded that the fire risks of the Ford Pinto were no greater than its contemporaries.”

Heh, I forgot about how commute distance factored in. I am generally just shy of 100 miles round trip, but I also have 300 mile days. If I worked closer to home, there is a spiffy Pinzgauer for sale just up the block.

I also suspect that the tipping point will be somewhat north of three cars in one hundred years.

The pinto merely suffered from bad press.

If ice dancing can be an olympic sport, so can this.

I have a semi-related question. What is the worst gas milage you will accept in a dailey driver? I know mine exactly, 25mpg. I know this because I bought an older mustang thinking I would only drive it on weekends. once I found out it got over 26mpg* average, I gave away my econobox**, but I have a nice truck that…

Could we address the big issue with patrol cars now and develop some emergency lights for police cars that don’t blind everyone passing while the vehicle is at a traffic stop.

You drove here in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.

Sir, are you trying to say that you work at a lot where someone actually tried to sell a base Jeep Wrangler without every option and several dealer add ons? Because, I do not cotton to those sort of shinanigans!

It has never been about money, you are way off. I learned about the world the old fashoned way, by making it work.

Capitalism gives control to the people. Where the state rules you get horrible pollution. However, the belief that there is some magic system that will solve things for you is a false premise. Any system, from tyranny to anarchy would work fine as long as the people had each others best interest in mind. You blame…

This is the same thought sequence I have when I see “Best in its Class.”
