Please provide another reason why it’s ok. They can fix their ability to drive well. If they cannot, take public transportation or get a ride or an Uber. There's still no reason people should be on the road if they are ill equipped or have a potentially dangerous vehicle (bad brakes, bad tires, broken mirrors) or…

I hope never. I plan to keep my sports car till I'm old, too. Driving for pleasure is inherently different from what 99% of people do now. Driving for pleasure also means you're focused on the road and the vehicle and the conditions far more.

I find those examples shocking and terrifying. Smh...

That’s irrelevant and would only be relevant if they had their own roads. It’s very simple: cars can kill people by being used improperly just as easily as a commercial vehicle. They share the same road, which has the same rules for how to use it. Why would the requirements for operating one potentially deadly machine…

In this case, it's true. The automakers and the consumers and the legal system is waiting for laws and guidelines before they even consider introduction dates to consumers. Sure, the tech is being developed without it, but it's not getting launch dates and the funding that comes with in the absence of regulations.

I hate that economic argument. Screw that. Literally everything else remotely similar to a car has far stricter licensing and retesting standards. Commercial vehicles, construction equipment, any kind of large machinery that could kill people if used improperly. Cars should NOT be treated differently, regardless of…

Oh, all the time.

The only difference with backup cameras is that it’ll also help avoid many crashes and the associated costs. They’re also more necessary than ever because most of today’s cars have poor 3/4 rear visibility because of belt lines creeping up...because of crash safety standards.

Contain...the...rage...

Yeah, no way. People have a desire to control their own path more than they are ok with sharing.

I saw an extremely well-done 944 at an autocross the other weekend that had a V8 swap. I never got to find out what kind of V8, unfortunately. It didn’t sound like an LS, though.

I give this one 3 Charles Barkley’s. Turrible.

COTD.

Well, MT finally got something right: it does sound like shit. Damn that Headifold for ruining the sound.

Oh you’re 100% right. There’s tons of people who wouldn’t be able to drive my car with snows safely and are barely getting by in an AWD vehicle.

Le sigh. This is why I do my own work unless I don’t have the tools.

I’m sure some of the conditions you see would warrant AWD in most winters. I have lived in the Chicago area most of my life, and in the scenarios that the winters here present, my RWD + snows has been equally capable of getting around to anything else on the road. I’ve even embarrassed a few SUVs from stop lights in…

I can absolutely acknowledge the advantage of 4WD/AWD. AWD and snow tires is an absolute blast. The fact of the matter is that under anything other than deep snow, a RWD or FWD vehicle with snows is at least as good as AWD/4WD with all-seasons for forward grip on reasonable grades, better for lateral grip, and way…

And I point (in my head) and laugh when I cruise by in my V8 RWD car with winter tires on it.

I remember seeing a new guy whack his WRX wagon into a concrete barrier at an autocross after driving very poorly in a slalom and then trying to be a hero and save it, but very badly. All he had to do was countersteer and give it a little gas and it would’ve squared up (with some cones hit obviously), but instead he…
