You forgot to mention that manual transmissions are also a theft deterrent.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say harsh language was employed by a number of the people involved.

It would not surprise me if his police union came to his defense.

I’ve had my manual, AWD 2006 Element EP since new. I have two other cars, a 2015 Alfa 4C and a 2017 Alfa Giulia TI. The Element is the most practical car ever made, it can do anything outside of extreme stuff like rock crawling or setting Nurburgring records. The 4C was the least practical car I could afford. I…

It wasn’t justified. It was commendable.

None.

For the life of me, I still can’t figure who Musk thinks is the target market for this thing. It’s not a pickup. It’s not an SUV. It looks like something I drew in 3rd about a millennia ago.

Actually, the MC20 itself is based on what was going to be an Alfa Romeo. It was probably going to be called an 8C even though it most likely would’ve had a V6. When Sergio died suddenly and corporate direction changed, the 8C got cancelled and Maserati claimed the work that had already been done. Kind of like Dodge…

The criminal drug dealer got what was coming him. The cop who threw the cooler should be punished by making him buy a replacement cooler and contents for the guy who owned it.

I think it’s intended to give the passenger a place to rest their forearms while giving the driver a blowjob. Perfect for long trips.

Only one man could be lucky enough to pull this off and get away with it. Heisenberg lives!

As a long time cyclist (I used to race in wool shorts and jerseys in the 1970s), I laugh at the poseurs who buy Pelotons or go to spin classes at a gym. Get a real bike and ride it in the great outdoors. Sur la Plague.

You say that like it would be a bad thing.

For oh so many reasons, “self-driving” cars should be banned, period. They are a menace to public safety.

I was thinking it was intended to say uninjured.

Having a fast, expensive car doesn’t mean you have to drive like an asshole on public roads. The people I do see driving like assholes are usually either in a pickup, a beater BMW/Audi, or a Honda/Subaru/Mitsubishi with blacked out windows, a big wing, and no license plate.

Mental health crisis has become a euphemism for drug induced crazy.

And this why I’m concerned about having an EV in my garage. My wife’s Chevy Volt is parked there, and I always wonder if it’s going to destroy our home and everything we own. I had to throw away a Microsoft Surface laptop because the battery started bulging.

Have you seen the way assholes drive their giant pickups? Especially in Texas.

That’s not true. I had major damage due to a burst pipe some years ago. American Family Insurance paid right up and, since I saved money by managing the repairs, I was able to gut and remodel my kitchen and refinish my hardwood floors with the payout they offered.
