If you want to deprive people of their constitutional rights, you’re going to need a felony conviction in most cases. You want jail and probation on the table, which is crazy for a violation with no actual ill intent or damages. 

I remember a couple of years back a similar story in CO. Where Waze was directing traffic to a non-maintained road because of a construction closure. And people had to drive past signs warning of the dangers.

But but but... my entitlement!

Nobody should feel obligated to warn anybody against doing something that is obviously stupid.

In what twisted world does Google maps owe anything to anybody? Drivers must do a better job of observing road conditions and not being idiots. Bloggers must do a better job shifting through their shit takes.

We had a situation in my neighborhood where construction based road closures were causing rush hour delays. Waze was rerouting cars onto a gravel park path closed to all traffic (and with sharp drop offs and no guardrails). A large number of drivers were choosing that route, driving past the do no enter signs, on to a…

Wrong. If someone is that much of a brainless fool to be such a slave to Google Maps that they’re incapable of seeing that the road needs to be avoided and they go trundling down it anyway, eff ‘em. If they die because they’re incapable of commonsense (“Waaaaahhhhh! And Google didn’t tell me to put snow tires on the…

To be honest she’s holding up well after thirty odd years.

Mass-Market French cars tend to be fine. They sell well because they are competitive in their own way.

I grew up on a small family farm and I really appreciated Clarkson’s Farm for showing some of the insane difficulty with farming. You can do everything right and if it rains too much or too little, you are screwed. Clarkson at least has the resources to buy brand new equipment. Nothing is worse than having good…

My wife is NOT a car person but she loved the old Top Gear and now the Grand Tour. She has picked up a little bit of car knowledge by osmosis and appreciates my interest in cars even though she doesn’t share it. 

I mean, they even had their script editor take part in the rallycross race...

I loved CF waaaay more than I expected. I think part of it was it really allowed Jeremy to be an incompetent oaf without seeming so scripted. Plus it was really eye-opening how difficult and financially ruinous small scale farming can be.

Love these 3 - will never understand the hate.

I like the Bronco.  But I would rather buy something like a 4Runner that is not a 4Runner. 

I think you met an owner of a Bronco who is having slight buyers remorse for waiting months and paying over sticker, who now feels the need to justify his purchase by fighting everyone who dares to point out what he really knows deep down in his heart. The Bronco is a fugly, overpriced Jeep with a blue oval.

I also…

I feel much more strongly about the design. This looks like Pixar was told to design a G-wagon that wouldn’t infringe on copyrights. It’s awful. 

People want what they want, and I’ll hate what I want to hate. I’ll never say that my opinion is that of the majority, or even a significant percentage, of people. There’s no accounting for taste.

Case in point: The best selling vehicle in the US is a fucking cinder block with wheels.

Seats seven *and* it has 3 pedals?!

They would either have to change the name (Everest is pretty cool on its own) or change the body style of the regular Bronco, which is hideous.
