Ehhh... Everything Musk does is aimed at driving Tesla success. The only exception is SpaceX and even then, he still managed to use it as an advertising gimmick by launching that roadster. This tunneling nonsense is just another gimmick - Buy a Tesla and drive in our ‘congestion free’ tunnels!

There needs to be a correction made. The sentence: “I could write a whole essay on those guys, but I don’t want to get too off-track here.” needs to be changed to “ could write a whole essay on those guys, but the bosses won’t cut a check for those articles.”

I thought the secret was after the first few, just “watch them for things that go boom, not things that go vroom.”

They had cause for firing the mechanic AND his boss because they had proof. Firing someone based on suspicions is only going to put you on the losing side of a lawsuit. If anything we should be up in arms over the fact that there have been numerous instances where staffers have been caught doing this very same thing…

Huh. Proof that the anti-christ is alive and well and living in LA. If he thinks this car is a work of beauty, I shudder at the thought of what he must be doing to the poor, helpless saps he calls patients.

Well, defamation law created a saying : “The truth will set you free.” Because in the end, the truth is an absolute defense against defamation. That car IS ugly. The added benefit is Opinion is also a near absolute defense, and your article is editorial in nature, making it opinion. That ca... Ahem, vehi... I mean,…

LOL. So... yet another (presumably Eastern European) rich man’s wet dream imagining of an armored vehicle. There have been quite a few of them over the last decade.  For $2 million, I’d just buy several Rambo Lambos instead and outfit a garage for maintenance. And I’d be able to  claim they were used as military…

While your 3 yo SSD may still have 94% of its lifespan remaining, My desktop has a Maxtor 320 GB HDD in that I bought in 1999. Still works, and more than 95% of the drive sectors are in working order. It happens to be the boot drive for the desktop.

Start the places they won’t potentially have a critical impact - interior lights, dome lights, license plate lights. See how you like them there, and if you don’t, you don’t even need to bother with changing them back since they have no bearing on your ability to operate the vehicle. Also, easier and cheaper to find…

There is this thing called proofreading. EVERYONE who happens to expect to be paid for writing should do so. Why? Allow me to quote: “But Lotus’s rebirth this time around could be promising than ever before.”

That whole stopping bullets with butter thing is a video someplace on youtube.

Just as hockey fans like to say “I went to see a fight and a hockey game broke out”, NASCAR fans tend to say “I went to see a car wreck and a race broke out.”

Your knowledge leaves something to be desired. There have been no nationally televised driver fatalities since 2001, but the last driver fatality they had was in 2009.

TBH, that F1 decision was sparked the crash at Le Mans in 1955 (so many were injured or killed [83+ dead, 180+ injured] that they kept the race going to prevent traffic jams that were typically induced by the departing spectators) and the fatal crashes at Daytona just months before in February 1994.

Or long story short - “Because Disney said so!”

Or maybe he’s been around longer than a decade and is familiar with the way safety has waffled back and forth since the 1980's. Hell, I was there in the bleachers when Rodney Orr turned the safety fencing into a giant car-and-flesh-consuming cheese grater in 1994. And the fences had to be redesigned in 2013-14 after…

LOL. “Big names sell tickets.” Not according to some recent stories about attendance being way down. Those empty sections in the bleachers were empty when the starting flag was waved, not after evacuation due to the accident.

Kung Fu grip is the least of worries. Is he properly articulated to reach that part of his body with the kung fu grip to begin with?

The EU does have that ridiculous “Right to be Forgotten” law which would quite readily explain any lawsuit brought by a child against a parent for posting family photos online.

Ummmmmmmmmm.... There is supposed to be a caption with that wallpaper: “Typical orientation of the Camaro the the typical road surface”
