I was not advocating for road chaos, just reinforcing the point that culturally, offshoring the interpretation of American driving laws will end in disaster, because few other places are as hurried, angry, and as armed as the Land of the Free.

The thing about 3rd world/developing world traffic is, although it looks totally chaotic to Americans, it’s often much friendlier and safer. My dad spent a lot of time in India, and I’ve driven a bit in Nairobi, and there is more group consensus on moving through traffic. American’s take every inch of pavement…

Actually, the left usually rally’s around the vulnerable. The affluent are never vulnerable, to policy or the application of law. A 6-minute chokehold, complete overkill by all accounts where he had stopped resisting long before then. Hopefully none of your relatives every suffer from a mental health crisis. 

Nah, he killed someone in the wrong tax bracket and the wrong color.

On the same day a NYC jury acquitted that guy of the chokehold strangulation murder of a poor, mentally unstable black man. Your G-damn ‘effin right this better be jury nullification.

I agree 1990 Suzuka was a tit-for-tat payback for 1989, and in the end the scales were balanced. But I also think that nothing in the history of GP racing was as blatant as Senna’s move in 1990. Senna got jumped on the start and then just blatantly rammed into a car he could see in full view ahead of him at 150 mph.…

But that Gilded Age was a blast while it lasted for white dudes!

It’s called the Patronage System. It was actually very much the direct, accepted, and unapologetic way of doing presidential appointments way into the 19th century (as opposed to the somewhat less obvious method since then).

Most people were also probably unaware that a fire in a single server room at the Chicago TRACON would paralyze air traffic across much of the country, but that is exactly what happened in 2014. The tenuous state of so much of the technology we depend on, on a daily basis, is unknown, until it fails.

Bite my shiny metal frunk.

Good thing GTA-VI isn’t out yet, they can add this to the missions.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

“If they host a race on Sunday, no channel would broadcast it outside of ESPN-U, due to NFL rights”

Fugly from every angle? Yes.

I wouldn’t know since it began at 1AM where me and 48% of the US population live. But I’m sure the 16% who live in the west thought it was great, even though the highlights I saw were all blue-white lighting over concrete barriers and catch fencing, such visuals! This is so f’n stupid. F1 wants to grow this sport in…

But in 6 months, we may have no more FDA, soooo...profit?

I have a MK7 GTI. For the track I have a set of summer wheels/tires that I change to each summer (Michelin PS4s), and I run track-oriented pads and fluid (changed annually) and slotted rotors. These small changes handle the braking & cornering fine enough. I run SCCA Track Night in America series. Driven at: Pitt…

Trust me a lot of cars are too much car for people on the track, and there is nothing wrong with that at all. I’ve seen a car totaled at nearly every single track day I have been to. And, newsflash!, it’s usually a Mustang. Because that car is generally too much of a car for people to handle as speed. My go-to…

Have you heard of “disruption” good sir?
