Yeah, wouldn’t ‘Modern Vintage’ sound better and be more accurate?

In Ontario we specifically have a law that says police officers cannot be charged for distracted driving if they are on their in-car computers. Apparently they are trained to drive safely while distracted.

I vote for ReBronculous.

I was a mobile horse vet for years. There was an emergency at a local show site with an out of state horse so they called me to attend. I was 2 hours away and suggested calling someone closer, but they insisted I come ASAP. I received no fewer than six calls during that time by four different people who were shocked I…

I grew up with cell phones, my dad was an RF tech that got involved in setting up the towers back in the late 80s.

““I appreciate the fact that it’s drawing attention to the fact that we’d like people to slow down and not be on their phones”

Not in Colorado but on my street there is a stop sign that is always ignored, one day while walking the dogs in a ravine I saw a broken traffic sign that indicated ‘camera monitored intersection’ so being a lawful kinda guy I dragged it out and left it for the traffic department. Oops I meant I took the sign home and…

I think it’s the law in just about every state at this point. And no, no one pays attention. That said there are studies that show even hands free calling is a distraction while driving.  Though typically it’s the more brain taxing the conversation the more distracting it is.

...This also looks like a road you can do 60mph 99% of the time with no issues so now I’m conflicted.

All the options you gave can be had for significantly less after 1 year lol 

Hands free calling is the law in my state.

Imagine you have $120k to blow on a car. And instead of buying a Range Rover, X7, Escalade, GLS or QX80 you say “yep, I’ll buy a tuna can on wheels”.

Vintage Modern?  That’s a horrible name that makes it hard for customers to search for online. Couldn’t they call it Vintage Broncs or Vintage Buckaroos?

Another day another “The Tesla Cybertruck is not very good” story. Yawn. Did people really not know that putting ferrous iron on stainless steel out in the weather would result in rust? I feel like this is that Costco butter recall because they didn’t put that it contains milk on the package.

No, the engines are far more important. They want a ship that will last 250 years, but the fastest we can go right now takes more than 10,000 years to get to the closest star.

The engine would actually be the easiest part about it. The hard part would be having a living facility that can withstand the rigors of space for 200+ years. The ISS is currently dealing with an air leak. How long would a generational starship last if it doesn’t have a constant resupply of air? 

This is a bit like putting the cart before the horse, isn’t it? Shouldn’t getting the engine design down first be far more important than anything else?

I’m with you. More storage options aren’t a bad thing. I will NOT feel bad about cargo shorts, no matter what anyone else says.

Only Ranger school those dudes attended was when they were playing D&D circa 14 years old.

Cargo shorts catching strays out here. If the modern fanny pack is a thing, I’m not going to apologize for loving pockets.
