>bottom of the crash

I agree. I bought a decent amount of Toyota stock near the bottom of the crash. I also bought Ford... more on a “let’s be a river boat gambler” investment. I am much more confident in Toyota’s stability than Ford’s. 

1st Gear: 80% drop in profit still means they are making a profit. I would see this as a pretty good silver lining given the situation. Plenty of others are talking losses.

First, congrats on your adult Power Wheels! Second, there are conversion kits/posts for other power wheels to go from lead acid to Lithium battery packs. they enable you to go from 5 mph all the way to 8!

Jason, this is why Elon is freaking out

The car isn’t even owned by the kid. It doesn’t even say he had permission to drive it. Also in the article, he is looking at a $10k fine, criminal charges, and years of license lost. The 1 week is just the immediate repercussion to buy time to investigate.

Most of Davids cars can only do zero mph. I bet dad's response will keep this diskweed off the road longer than a week. Hope he goes away for a long time.

Why should the car be destroyed? I’ve never understood this barbarity. Confiscate it and sell it at auction? Sure. Donate it to a local college shop class? Why not? Hell, stick it in a museum of confiscated property. But destroying it serves literally zero incremental purpose other than to flex governmental muscles.

Proving the calibration is off if there are documents demonstrating that the gun was calibrated according to spec is not very easy. Just because a lawyer gets involved doesn’t guarantee you win your case. 

Sharp Lawyer would get the kid off with an Apology from Canadian Police for not having their equipment calibrated if Dad decides to pay for the Lawyer.

It’s Canada. They asked politely and said please, so the driver really had no other option.

Why should the poor car be punished for the operator’s bad decisions?

My Mercedes Benz does 191.

Not related to the article, but according to Kinja Support they deployed some changes to the comment section last Friday. They seem to be showing up for me now, how about you guys?

I drive under the limit most of the time when I’m in my old carbureted machines. It’s only in my fuel-injected 4.0s that I sometimes get pulled over.

David, we like you around here. With the cars you like, please drive UNDER the speed limit at all times. We don’t want to see you killed. Can your cars even go faster than the speed limit?

I don’t know about Canada, but if you can prove the radar gun was defective you can get all evidence from it thrown out of court and any charges based on it dismissed.

What’s that in stones per hogshead?

It is limited to 174 in old money, but that is easily removed.
