Lovely idea. Except it doesn’t actually work, unfortunately. the sort of people who are deterred are the sort of people who won’t steal cars anyway.

you’re shocked that they did the thing they do every time?

Let me get this straight: you think that the solution to people doing dangerous things while running from the police (presumably because they are desperate to avoid whatever penalties and consequences that may already exist) is to increase said penalties so that they will perform a cost-benefit analysis based on the…

Once you get a taste of that attention you’ll do anything to keep it.

Very true. Which is why I worry about these new electric cars that all have to put up crazy horsepower numbers, but also weigh the same as a boat. Maybe we shouldn’t be giving the “average Joe” an 800 hp, 10,000 lb object to hurl around on the streets.

No, just a few crumbs of information. 

The Repubs will vote so they remove a pathologically lying criminal from Congress who changes his stories at the drop of a hat

Just some image control to look like care about ethics. Plus Santos was somehow an even worse liar than Trump.

The Repubs will vote so they remove a pathologically lying criminal from Congress who changes his stories at the drop of a hat, but when it came time to do something about Donald The Criminal and removing his pathologically lying fat ass from the White House, the groveling Repubs didn’t do squat.

Hell yeah brother

George Santos was such an obvious pathological liar, I really don’t understand how anyone would fall for him, except for the genuine MAGA faithful. As most MAGA actually do understand that Trump is a pathological liar, but still support him because he is a White Nationalist. The remaining MAGA who actually believed…

Why would they take it out of him to put it in themselves?

It’s why they love the bully. He is THEM. And they think he’s successful. We know better because he’d not need so much of their money if he really was.

If licensing was way stricter, mandatory car inspections, and modifying your car was illegal in the US like Germany, then sure on the straightest best maintained and animal fenced portions of the interstate remove the speed limit.

Most people don’t die on the interstate in North America, they die on the higher speed…

How many hands do you have? Haha

I grew up on an “empty country road.”

On one hand, this seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. If he financed the car, his dropping it off at a dealership doesn’t absolve him of his responsibility to make the payments. If he paid cash for it, he’s leaving several grand just sitting there.

What’s sad is that the blue line crap is basically just a “fuck you” to BLM or to anyone else who cares about police brutality. They don’t give a shit about cops and it seemed like the conservative position was that cops are just freedom-quelling government agents until recently. Now it’s just an opportunity to be a…

I feel like we as a country have forgotten the very important reason we are able to function as a conrty, a society, a civilization. We have rules AND (more importantly) we CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE. What Fox is pushing borders on sociopathic- the only thing that matters is me and mine, everything else can go fuck…

Maybe its just because I’m older now (41), or had a kid, or whatever else. But man it seems like the roads are more dangerous than they have ever been at any time of my 26 year driving career. Ever since the pandemic ended people are so much more aggressive behind the wheel. They drive so much faster and with zero…
