The craziest thing about this is that, on the last lap, Rea crashes 3 turns from the end, runs over to his bike, picks it up, restarts, and STILL finished 3rd!

That’s how far ahead of everyone else he was.

Agreed, I like seeing the driver. It gives me *some* info, but the best indicator is the front wheel. You’ll see it turn and/or roll before you’d realize the rest of the car is moving.

If you don’t wear a seat belt, and you don’t have insurance, and you crash, the ambulance takes you to the hospital, the hospital cares for you, and that cost goes to all of us. That IS a way your actions affect others. I’m not sure yet where the line should be, but it’s not as black and white as people want it to be.

I am not sure how I’d want violations to be handled, but cars should have headlights on at all times. There are times when your car is a similar color to the background, you’re in shade on a rural highway, and your car is just hard to see. Headlights increase your visibility to others by a huge amount and DOES reduce…

The article states that sanctions would be more effective against NK if China were to enforce them. It surmises that this would cause relations between Beijing and Washington to become more frosty.

Why, exactly, does Beijing choosing to agree to enforce a sanction make them dislike the situation?

This so nice.

The Honda Beat and Suzuki Cappucino suggestions were alright. Certainly alternative. But the jeep? The little FWD matchbox? Come on. Some people might actually look at these for real ideas they hadn’t thought of, or to prioritize one kind of car that’s a particularly good value.

Is there a way to expand the comment (or better, all comments) in the article to be fully visible? Clicking to open the full comment in a new tab just to read the whole thing seems like a waste of energy.

Came here for the comments. The article itself has gone beyond interesting to inane slapstick.

Now the commenters bring out the really good suggestions. Cars we’d actually like to see pictures of, to drive, to park and look back at as we walk away.

Two things: Why do EVs need to be exempt from a tax on vehicles with an Internal Combustion Engine? They aren’t in that category. The article is unclear on what is being rewritten and what is actually taxed.

I live in unincorporated Washington County, Oregon. Not in a city. Our place looks like the witch’s house at times. I know I should do better, but I have two kids.

I use F1 Quick Wax. It’s a cleaner and wax combined. Spray on, wipe off with the blue shop towels that come on a roll. As the towel gets dirty, I move from the fairing to something else, like a swingarm or the footpeg mounts, or the undertail.

Then once that rag is done I grab a new one and go back to a section of the…

Myths.

We had tons of feeders at my old place, and have a couple at my new place. Songbirds don’t dump all over. Not a problem.

Rate of speed can, technically, mean acceleration. When people say it, they (generally) don’t mean acceleration. They mean ‘I am fancy and technical’. But what I hear is ‘I am faking’.

Why?

We have these. It’s China! You can get them on Ebay. Fantastic.

That said, you’ll need to make sure your replacement ‘dumbed-down’ plug in lies correctly to the computer so your headlight out and DRL voltage and blinker-check functions don’t throw errors all over the dash.

It makes a lot more sense from a legal / constitutional / property rights standpoint to have this an opt-in feature. Many people will opt-in, given reasonable limitations and repayment for damages promises, and then you avoid the colossal freak-out storm of ‘I don’t actually own my own property!’ arguments.

Obviously, if you got a ticket, someone else was around.

Officers have discretion in ALL cases except for violation of a restraining order. At least, that’s true in the places I’ve studied the legal code*. They could have chosen to ignore, or let him off with a warning. That said, they tend to lean towards, ‘Yeah I’m gonna enforce this here law’.
