No one is off limits. I’ll boycott dealers, but not manufactures.

Volkswagen. Never again.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I’m no lawyer, but I think it’s generally accepted that if something can be seen from a public area, such as the street, that no warrant is required. My bet would be that the Michigan Supreme Court decides that the sky above someone’s property is public, but who knows.…

I thought the exact same. Your resulting average weight is almost certainly going to be skewed by a selection bias since I would assume the healthier passengers will be the ones more likely to accept.

Yeah, ain’t no way my mom is getting on that scale, her drivers license still says 135lbs which is a huge lie. You are going to have a bunch of average weight people doing it and NO overweight people. I do think this is needed though, just put the scale under the floor hidden out of sight and weight people as they…

Doesn’t making it voluntary sort of defeat the point? Since you still won’t have an accurate gauge of how much the sum of passengers weighs, most likely only a fraction skewing towards the lighter individuals.

I like to sit low so I can get a better sensation of the cars rotation when corning.

1. Visibility is key. Your steering where you look, so you must put your eyes in the best possible place to see the track. Put your fist on your head and raise your seat until it touches the ceiling.

I see far to may people with their seat backs reclined way to far and them sitting unsupported in a humped over question mark shape.

Could be, frankly I tend to find driving relaxing. That said I do 100% get road rage sometimes, but I keep the yelling firmly contained inside my car. Even then it’s mostly constrained to things like “man what the fuck” and “fucking move!”

If this car is used in the next Fast and Furious, will it be called the VinDiesel?

Maybe next time sit on the story until the part that makes it content-worthy for a car website become available, like what kind of car was it, and why did it blow up. Or even who this happened to.

Actually some cities have installed flashing yellow left arrow lights for this purpose. If red it’s a full stop and green a full go, if it’s flashing yellow means you can go when opposing traffic is clear.

What we need are traffic lights that can detect traffic coming or not coming for some distance down the road. If a green is being shown to an empty highway, then cycle the lights. I hate being stuck at a red left turn when the opposing traffic has a green and I can clearly see no cars for a mile.

That’s something that’s hard to not notice, how rich people in general seem to have much poorer taste now compared to the past. You see it in many areas, cars, art, architecture, they all have such mundane, pedestrian tastes.

I’m gunna have to call bullshit. As someone else pointed out, the word has an agreed upon meaning, to describe members of the homosexual community, and the intent to co-opt or alter its usage is meaningless to someone hearing the word

Yeah, as a closeted gay kid in high school, I can say that hearing kids call things “gay” as a synonym for lame or stupid did nothing for my self-esteem. I still don’t like hearing it now, but most folks seem to get the memo. I do hear fa**ot from other gay men for a while now (only the men I’ve noticed) and I know…

Intent is irrelevant. By using a term used to describe a group of marginalized people (of which I am a member) of anything that they dislike or think is bad is inherently homophobic. There’s no way getting around that.

and then you know that you’re dealing with homophobic troglodytes.
