I’m going to be in the minority opinion that just short of trying to ban or license lasers, it’s going to be a lot easier on everyone to just require laser shielding foil on aircraft than it is to try and punish every person with a friggin’ laser.

Whew, we’ve come a long way!

Agreed. This is the first time I’ve seen one of these videos, and it’s beyond stupid.

Serious question. Is spending 90k on a pickup truck any worse than on a sports car or a luxury sedan?

Nice review, touched on everything I was curious about, including that GD “Chicken Tax”. It should be shocking that we still have that law on the books, but considering how everything else goes in politics...

they think they have some Satan-given right to go 15-20mph over the speed limit.

... you can legally go 5mph over the speed limit ...

If I get stuck around one of those yo-yo drivers that constantly speeds up and slows down, then I’ll hang out in the left lane so they get stuck behind a semi-truck.

I’m talking about E10 and E15 - not E85 - which is being sold to the public as “regular unleaded gasoline”.

Are you asking if I’ve done time trials? No, I don’t have time for that.

But yeah, a TDI down there is hilarious. My ex had a TDI beetle, and as she was filling up this Bro came running a screaming “Staaap. Thayt’s deeeesel there, ma’am!” Diesel in anything less than 4 tons does not compute.
