Either way both just start spinning that rear wheel as soon as it’s in the air, which is pitifal for a vehicle at that price point. Our old Jeep Patriot could lock a wheel that was in the air. 

We have our safety regulations so backwards. We regulate personal safety but care little about mass safety. i.e. you can’t drive that, YOU could be killed in an accident? Versus - Of course you can tow a 40 foot trailer with your 12 foot tall truck with no prior experience because YOU will be okay if you crash.

This is very dumb. The smallest state should absolutely embrace the smallest trucks.  It’s called branding, you dummies!

Weight, size, and distance. Tax the heck out of it and use the increased revenue to provide a refundable tax credit with simple tiers based on age/working status. Not working? Smaller credit. Not out of school? Smaller credit. Would be FAR more effective at improving fuel efficiency than CAFE standards that warp the…

That interior is wild. Everything about it is just nuts to look at, like it’s Willy Wonka’s weekend cruiser or something. I’ll even forgive the snoozer black (I generally don’t have a problem with black like so many others, but I prefer crazy cars to be crazy colors... However, with this one, does it really need any…

That’s presumably what the last paragraph meant:

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter

Right-on-red was introduced in the 1970s as a fuel saving measure. That time has long since passed, with hybrid powertrains and stop-start systems doing more to reduce idling, emissions, and fuel consumption.

Who exactly is the harsher punishment for, anyway? The dead 14 year old?

In the discussion for mandatory speed limiting automatically in cars story from last week there was lots of comments about harsher longer punishment for breaking the laws. Do you really think that any nebulous ideas of long jail time ever entered these kids’ minds when they got in the car to joy ride. Nope, there area…

Start here before you put more nannys in my vehicle.

I mean, it would just mean that person wouldn’t be on the road legally. That person is still going to be driving.

Hot take: we should have speeding cameras like they do in many places in europe

I certainly agree with and am not at all surprised by this finding.

Funny timing on this article, just the other day I was thinking of writing a post myself on another forum about how since I began to commit to my cycling commutes, I have sincerely noticed a difference in my perception of the city I live in. I already knew it well, but the distinct difference between cycling and…

Can you blame us? We're awesome!
