I rarely see TV ads these days, but if you’re talking about that fat bearded guy and the dogs at the coffee shop I’ve seen it a couple times and it enraged me to the point I became voluble about it in public and had to be shushed by my wife.

Sounds like a good idea, but in reality people will either swap plates from other vehicles they own onto the delinquent vehicle, or swap plates from other vehicles they do NOT own onto the delinquent vehicle, thereby creating more problems.

1) governor Cuomo is running for president.

Oh the other thing that was “wrong” with the car is that stretch limos like this have long bench seating along one wall of the car, and the occupants don’t have seatbelts, so in the event of a bad accident like this they all concertina to the front of the vehicle.

I’ve never understood this take on “freedom.”

Then STFU. There is no “I could do it” speed record. There is only the “I did it” speed record.

The vehicle failed inspection for brakes that were specced for it without the additional weight of the conversion and passengers, and weren’t even up to snuff for that. It was grossly overweight and had shitty brakes. 

Brakes designed for five people and also clapped out couldn’t hold the extra weight of the modifications and 18(!) fucking occupants at the end of a long downhill.

I’m a hardcore libtard and an NYS/NYC resident, and I support The Man here. Then again, The Man seems to have abandoned sensible regulations and left them to our side anyways, so I’m not conflicted at all.

The brakes weren’t upgraded to take account of the significant extra weight of the vehicle and additional occupants. That was the mechanical fault, and it was the cause of his losing control on the downhill to the stop sign and then running it. That, among other things, was why it had failed its inspection.

Yeah. Ban dangerous, stupid vehicles (not just those uber-dangerous and stupid stanced ones the coloreds drive that we already want to ban).

Idiot you could never do it. STFU.

Interesting. The new incarnation has much more aggressive linearity and flow, also way better balanced. Also does actually have the feel of a slalom in and a fast curve into a straightaway out—pretty neat!

Get used to it. The idea of big “flight deck” consoles with embedded screens, dials and gauges is old hat.

That’s actually UI, User Interface—how you directly interact with the car, ie the specific assets such as screens, switches, buttons, haptics etc, and the rules they work by. It’s the tangible stuff.

Weird to me. Seems totally right seat-oriented.

Ah I missed a very key word from that sentence—”prolonged.” My bad.

Oh whew. I thought I’d been unforgivably crass. Again.

Supreme has been around since the mid-’90s, so no millennial is too old to be aware of Supreme. It’s an NY-based skate brand with a knocked-off Barbara Kruger logo that’s extremely recognizable. It’s surprising that you won’t have at least seen the branding, as it’s now virtually ubiquitous.

Oh duh. I thought you were making a boner joke, not a Fairlady joke!
