Trains are not at fault for drivers trying to beat them across the tracks.

As of right now, it seems, in both cases, that the drivers in question attempted to beat the train at the intersection.

Seems like this is more of a “Florida Man/Woman”-caused problem than a Brightline one.

Do we really have much evidence that this would be safer in the hands of the federal government than a private company? 

3rd gear: As a TSLA shareholder, I say that if Musk wants 25% of the votes, then he had better start buying up shares until he gets to 25%.

I’m rooting for Lamborghini, sure I’ll never be able to afford their cars, but they seem to have a playful, laid back culture for a super car company.

I recently built the Lego Land Rover, too. It’s very relaxing to build models, regardless of age.

Hmm yeah let’s give even more power to the drug-addled narcissist who is driving the company into the ground. bold_strategy_cotton dot gif.

If anything, the opposite is true. Tesla’s market value was always so far ahead of its actual growth prospects. What we’re seeing now is the market recognizing that it is actually impossible for Tesla to grow at the rate needed to sustain its market value. The stock has run up as Tesla grew from nothing to 2 million…

Or it is just Tesla becoming a mature corporation with limited growth possibilities. Tesla stock has been so hot because it went from selling 10,000 cars a year to 2,000,000 cars a year, but now it’s not like that number will reach 10,000,000 in the next 5 years.

I’m of a certain generation (early Gen X). Me and the late Boomers grew up watching movies on independent TV stations (which eventually became Fox when they found enough elephants and little people).

3rd Gear: Nah, this guy doesn’t need any more power than he already has. His dipshit social media posts have already eroded any trust/goodwill/connection with his customers (hint: people who buy EVs trend to the liberal side).

I would argue that this is impressive and loving it is fully rational.

The Volvo P1800 is such a beautiful car.

Austin Healey Sprite. It just looks so happy to be a car.

I so love the Saab Sonett. I have driven several and want one very much:

Still remember one that came in the ED, what should’ve been a walk away accident became a crawl away with two broken ankles from standing on the brake pedal with both feet and the sudden stop of hitting a solid object pushing all their unbelted body weight through their ankles. Seldom saw many from really severe…

Wow.  Years ago I worked with a guy that was a mechanical tech that had done testing.  He had worked on de-bugging a crash test system for trucks back in the 80s.  Before witnessing a test, he refused to wear seatbelts. Wanted to be thrown clear and all that BS.  Saw his first crash test and the unbelted dummy smashed…

Wow. $91k is so much money. That’s wild.

I was an automotive engineer at the time this test was being developed. I worked for a major automotive company in R&D and specifically in doors.
