Okay, since nobody involved in writing any of this decided to include actual numbers, I guess I’ll do it.

In 1990, the EPA banned the use of phosogypsum containing radium-226 concentrations above 400 bq/kg (1 Bq = 1 radioactive decay per second).

For reference, cement ALSO contains radium-226, along with potassium-40

This was the same issue with many Porsche’s and the LFA. Do automakers not think you’ll sometimes may want to actually drive your car, and may want to put your coffee or gold flaked energy drink in a place that’s convenient and easy to reach? I guess it’s not really that big of an issue for this level, but it seems

Cruise control on the highways, and stay out of the left unless you’re passing or going a speed where you will be continuously passing the lane to your right.

Its literally just creating traffic and causing more accidents when you snooze in the left lane. My commute would be 10 minutes if people followed left lane

I agree on red light cameras - we know how they work in practice, they are simply revenue generators that are shady as hell and don’t actually result in fewer accidents (and in some cases it can be argued they cause more accidents). A lot of times they simply ticket people for “rolling right turns” in areas where

In a perfect world, there wouldn’t even be a need for Police =)

To the sales professional who “I’m so glad I fixed my credit and improved my income situation, and corrected my priorities, so I could afford a safe vehicle”, the only reason most people drive shitty, unsafe cars is because they HAVE NO MONEY! We live in a world where public transit either sucks or is nonexistent (for

People who say “red light cameras at every light” are the same ones who believe most cops are good and the justice system is fair. I get the idea, and I’m not one of the people out there running lights, but it takes a few minutes of reading into all of the cases and studies that exist about red light cameras being too

This is a judgement of my wrong opinion, I will not put any effort into my response.

Agreed that supercars aren’t a practical or economically efficient way to get around a track quickly. That’s always been true.

Re: the E-Type coupe, it’s ok to admit when you’re wrong.

Ok, this is just cringey in its abuse of animals. I get that they’re a commodity and we eat millions of them every day, but still. 

You aren’t going to believe this, but Senna and Schumacher were also insufferable assholes. 

I was a child when Senna was racing, that is true, but I have seen his racecraft and studied his legacy.

Senna was the first to really take F1 to a new level of win-at-all-costs and Schumacher proliferated that. Following in their footsteps is one of the reasons I didn’t like Vettel and I don’t like Verstappen.

Because, it has a massive historical significance of being the World’s first “Supercar”. And, there are not that many out there. And, out of the ones that are, most are locked away in rich people vaults out of the public view.

This is and always was 2 things, a way for the automakers to cheap out yet again, I assume AA and Carplay have some kind of licensing fees, and eventually a way for them to turn this into a subscription service. Are AA and Carplay perfect, no, but we literally already use our phones for EVERYTHING else. Like I would

(In all seriousness, they think he may well have died in the landing. He jumped with a parachute that couldn’t be steered into the PNW woods at night)

Oh come on. We already know who DB Cooper was...

To be fair you can smell it from a lot further away that you would need to be to catch a buzz from it.

Trump sure is lucky his followers don’t have even basic understanding of economics. Or math.

Car people would legit rather receive windshield wipers or washer fluid than the vast majority of generic automobilia given to them each holiday season.
