I’m not a big fan of asset forfeiture laws because of the abuses we have seen, but I could certainly get behind a narrowly applied one in these cases. Get caught doing donuts in an empty parking lot - maybe get a ticket. Get caught flagrantly stopping traffic and causing public disruption for your own fun - lose your…

Just take away the right to drive for 3-4 years. That would be a world ender for most of them.

The way I looked at it, the $35k model without rebates was a decent buy for 220 miles. Having a Model S 75 with 250 miles range is not bad. But we took delivery of our Model 3 earlier this month, and with 310 miles of range was great. And yes, I’m paying $49k instead of $35k. But with the $7500 IRS Rebate + $3500 from …

Wouldn’t it be more accurate to factor in average wages? They have not risen at the same rate as inflation.

In geekspeak, life is a Markov chain. All history is embodied in the current state, and the only thing that matters is the next transition. Everything else is just random electrical impulses rattling around in your head.

I bet they use Grey Poopon.

F-150 switch gear get abused day-in and day-out on millions of units. They definitively know the switches hold up to use.

Oh, so suddenly Ford cares about its cars now?

“Horton, Here’s a Poo!”

I often see white parents with obviously adopted black children, I’d call the police but they’d probably arrest the kids.

10. Don’t be an asshole

9: Don’t force a conversation with the person next to you if they are trying to ignore you and everyone else.
