This is true, but it’s time for us old fashioned jalops to get educated. Electric power is the future so we need to know all the tech so we can do what we do best. Add POWER.

Ugh they WOULD do a fucking off-center headlight.

This is the first electric car that I am actually lusting over. Yeah, I think Teslas are pretty awesome and all but this is the first one that’s given me that same feeling I get when I see an old Alfa or a BMW 2002.

Just realized that I have no idea what anything you just listed means. Our electric sports car future means I will get to “relearn” what an engine means and does. That is kind of awesome.

Actually after reading that maybe I could see myself getting into electric motors...

It kinda is... and that’s awesome.

Damit! Electric motors have specifications too. How are people supposed to get educated on them if you don’t provide details.

Well maybe if you weren’t a Rebel sympathizer, you wouldn’t freak out at the first sign of TIE Fighter.

I think the Caddies are getting a little dated with all that origami shit. And there’s something about the perfectly vertical LED’s that bothers me. First time I saw a new Escalade on the freeway at night, I thought it was a Tie Fighter.

How does it do with J-turns?

I’ve had a situation a lot like this happen to me. It’s tough as there’s no right way to handle a car approaching from the rear at super high speeds when it’s not expected. Do you try to move out of their way? Or do you assume they’ll deal with your presence on ‘their’ race track.

I really don’t think that’s the case, RE common incidents - otherwise these kinds of stories wouldn’t litter local news outlets. It’s important to note that not every single street racing accident gets reported on by Jalopnik and its affiliates.

“all this non-straight-line driving flustered the Challenger’s driver,…

If you ever have a car closing in on you at high-speed, I hope you also have the werewithal to signal, check your mirrors, and then make a safe lane change.

“That’s the real story here.” Not the assholes that caused the accident?

“it makes things downright hazardous” So does street racing!

Yeah, people failing to signal are annoying. But, responsibility to pass cleanly lies with the car behind - that goes both for on-track and the street. In the absence of the street…

Eh...I understand what you’re saying, but when the difference in speed is great enough, even signalling won’t matter.

If you’re trying to place one ounce of blame on the vehicle changing lanes, then let me stop you right now.

If someone is weaving g and racing behind you, “use the blinker” isn’t your first thought. It is to take evasive maneuvers. If a deer jumps in front of you, you aren’t going to turn on your hazards. You panic brake, and deal with the proper signaling at a later time. It’s the racer’s fault.

It has nothing to do with signaling, and everything to do with driving at twice the posted speed limit.

Or, you know, some sort of rule or common procedure that addresses which side to pass on.....

REVERSE is missing.
