If I ever had a problem with it, it was maybe for 5min.

I mean kinda? Is the visibility worse than my Malibu? Yes. Do I have trouble’s seeing out of it. No. Probably because I’m short, most of my tall friends complain about it. I have my seat and my mirrors adjusted so that I have no issues seeing around me.

I feel like the requirement to get a license in most states is to have a heartbeat and that’s even pushing it sometimes.

I thought that was a picture of I-696 for a moment.

5th Gear: 

I want to go back with a smaller car. I took my Camaro which was fun, but I think I’d have more fun in a FiST or similar sized vehicle.

There’s a few turnouts for slow people to get over. Some people ignore them, some are considerate. I just did it recently and it was a lot of fun, but I had more fun driving through the other mountain roads around the Tail.

I just did it over 4th of July. Its not too bad during the week. Got really busy once the weekend started up. There’s also several other roads through the Smokey’s that are quite fun as well. I spent about 8 hours driving through the mountains. It was fantastic. 

There aren’t a whole lot of turnouts. Depending on where they were in the Tail. I got stuck behind some dude just doing his daily commute while I was on it. I just gave him his space and waited. Road is not going anywhere. Doing dumb shit is how people die on that road every year.

Those roads are incredibly dangerous. Several people die on the Tail of the Dragon every year. Its helluva a lot of fun driving it but you have to remember its a two way street and some people just use it to commute. Doing stupid shit and being disrespectful is what gets people killed.

I’m guessing you’ve never driven the Tail then. Those roads are scary blind. Pulling shit like that is how people die on that road every year.

I don’t really find this all that ground breaking. Its essentially just expanding on already available technology.

Literally just flew in Detroit and they were not operating under these procedures. I didn’t even have to take my shoes off nor remove my laptop from my backpack nor remove my belt. Someone didn’t send them the memo......

I get out plenty. Harleys just aren’t as popular where I live. You see a lot more sporty bikes than Harleys, and I find them to be more courteous (based on MY interactions with the two groups). Never have had a sport bike rev their bike as I’m walking under an overpass causing me to go deaf temporarily. Never have had…

Wholly agree. I find them and the people that ride them obnoxious.

I call bullshit on this. Having lived in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan. There is no way in hell that Michigan drivers are more courteous than Wisconsin drivers. Spend an hour on I-94 or 5min in the metro area and you’ll see just how bad Michigan drivers can be. Michigan drivers are monstrous and the roads around…

I agree. Tesla’s styling really does not do it for me.

Neutral: I’m heading out to Tail of the Dragon with some friends.

A lot of states don’t require parallel parking as part of the driver’s test. I’m pretty sure the only requirement in Michigan is to have a partially functioning brain and a heartbeat.

I was never taught parallel parking in driver’s ed. Many don’t teach it anymore. My cousin’s driver’s ed didn’t even do perpendicular parking because the parking lot at the school was angled and they were too lazy to go elsewhere. That said, most newer cars its fucking easy mode due to the backup camera. I parallel…
