“Think of it this way, they’re not punishing people for driving a competition vehicle, they’re just rewarding those that buy the products they make.”

Had one of these as a rental, and honestly, my coworker and I loved it.

This ad just reminded me of how badly I need a Corvair pickup in my life and how no one is making a die cast or plastic model of one.

My uncle in Arizona DD’s a 1982 Mercedes diesel E-class with 300k.

At a certain point in time, one of the goals of engineering, was longevity of the product. In the last couple decades, I think that goal has been abandoned. Instead, it’s about consumer churn. Keep them always paying on it. Vehicles are less a capital investment, and more a fixed monthly transportation budgetary item.

Man do I wnt a Corvair rampside

I have a racing buddy-super smart-kinda out there. But the sort of mad scientist type you listen to what they say. He works in computers + software-has for many years. Done well for himself-has a garage full of fast cars. He tried to describe what he did-the groups eyes glossed over after a couple of minutes-so he

I think you’re missing the point here. He IS the responsible type that does what you suggest. What he’s saying is that lazy-ass people will only go to the track if it is convenient, and that the city could do something to protect the citizens by recognizing that they can mitigate the risk by providing some safe

The way I see it is you have a problem which I don’t understand, one that is made out of assumptions which are clearly not base upon my comment. Like I said, I myself too do not think that such beharior is ok and I am not advocating for it. The fact is that such behavior happens and perhaps it could be easily

Are you an idiot or what? Did you not just read that I myself drive four hours to a track. I happen to be one that drives responsibly, obeys the law and have a 10 year clean record to prove it. Don’t just assume shit because you I think a track would be beneficial to a city with a large car culture scene doing illegal

Are you serious? Cops have no reason to know better? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS????? They have EVERY reason to know better! They have BOOK training and hands-on training to teach them EVERY reason to know better. And if they don’t? FIRE ‘EM!!!!! They shouldn’t be in law enforcement.

Hi. Black guy here. Normally I’m the one who points out how blacks can get treated differently when doing the same thing as whites. That’s not the case here. As others have mentioned, the guys in Baltimore are black. So are most of the guys riding in the Bronx.

You keep on with your belief and the same old narrative and keep wondering why it doesn’t get better with black politicians in office or black cops on the beat. Keep with the illusion TV feeds you day in and day out that it’s about race and race alone. Stay with the narrative that pits people against each other so the

Didn’t watch the clearly marked video di you? Stupid racist.

LOL——Someone has never been to NYC, or Baltimore or down south looking for motorcycle clubs/gangs. Ever hear of the Ruff Ryderz or 12 o clock boys?

Race has very little to do with it. It’s about how far a person is from political power. Skin color serves as a proxy to quickly determine how far an individual is from it. It’s practically irrelevant what race the cops or those running the government are. It stays the same. Because it’s about power.

Because it’s so much worse than when an ICE car’s gas tank explodes. I swear, it’s a running theme every time there’s a Tesla post: someone makes a vague, underhanded your-uncle-on-Facebook kind of comment that somehow batteries make these cars more “dangerous” in some way. Come on: “cut loose?” You make lithium-ion

It went “full hoverboard.”

I had a coworker who’s car died on the street outside her house. Rather than fix the 27 year old Toyota Cressida she was going to give it to one of the tow away charities. I asked if I could give it a shot to fix (I know my way around older Japanese engine bays) and I would give her a price once I knew what was wrong.

You are a fucking idiot.
