I live on Long Island and work in Connecticut and get to travel many of those above mentioned roads. One think you really forgot about was presence of police, especially in areas where speed limit appears unusually low. Good note on the parkways, too often idiots in trucks figure out hard way that those bridges are…

I am pretty sure you can get higher package with bells and whistles. But cheaper model allows some drivers to feel ‘good’ rolling in luxury brand and not shelling out thousands. Similarly, you can buy FWD 4cylinger A6 for that reason only. Plus, upselling with packages always works.

Similar problem is with NYC, jobs and everything of interest is in central location so everybody flocks in and out of Manhattan. If office spaces were actually created around transit hubs in outer boroughs that would limit it a bit. But local transit is aimed at bringing people to Manhattan so doubt it will ever change

Big issue with student loans that you are asking teenagers to make life defining decisions that will haunt them for decades. Many are encouraged to follow what their heart tells them, but few know that majoring in Alien Theology with 100k student loan is not the greatest 

I had to once drive a car equipped with that interlock and it ‘randomly’ requires retest.

You do not need professional to tow rope a vehicle. Just somebody smart enough behind both wheels and reasonably working cars (brakes + steering). I did it few times.

So I assume weapons manufacturers are lining up too? I guess it makes sense, just like cars in games must be licensed as well.

Human would also recognize context of truck motion (into loading dock) and react accordingly, such as stop early to allow truck to move or move over and pass the truck. Clearly autonomous driving is not ready yet.

Problem is that many leased cars are quite basic models and buyers don’t really feel basic A4 or 3 series. They are obsolete and expensive to maintain. I even was looking for off-lease wagon and couldn’t find ANY with useful options.

Soon they will treat cars like they treat phones. Shitty design when form wins over function requires protective cases. Now you will have to bubble wrap car so it survives 2 years into ownership

I stopped playing NFS series after they become episodes of story driven racing of modified cars. I am big fan of classics with High Stakes being my all time favorites. They even made fun of rice culture in NFS:HS right in the intro.

Main problem is that rules and regulations either make no sense or are not enforced. Also human training is weak at best. However, many humans adapt to driving conditions even if it conflicts with laws/regulations.

Look at this menace hooning on public road!

There is significantly more to this story. Chinese bus companies are cheap and notoriously bad.

Out of all French cars, you put Cactus on picture.

Honestly, I don’t want to sound like a dick. But it does look like a junkyard. Collection of nice junk. As mentioned, most cars do not run and many do not really have any greater value other than sentimental. They are also stored outside to be on the mercy of elements. These are not barn finds.

I went to H20i many times, back when it was primary VW/Audi event. And honestly, it was never about the show. Many times we didn’t even bother going there. Location often sucked, traffic there was miserable. We mostly opted out with chilling with people from VWVortex, Audizine right at OCMD. It was about cruising down…

1. Those who care about their cars, they will fit with great care.

However you must consider cases where word is used across different “cultures”. When you see it being used by people of hispanic or asian origin, it seems to have more of an neutral tone, when white person using is mostly always negative. And by looking at statics, it is very much the case. Even white to white…

I was just giving examples of what I observed. I have friends from all kinds of backgrounds and the *N* word is used by many with various levels of acceptance (most on spectrum: Black-Hispanic-Asian-White). And as you mentioned of word being used to refer a friend, etc. And I was called that many times, but never used…
