Only about 7,500 kei cars were imported into the entire US last year, and the 25 year rule means that there is an extremely finite supply of them that can be imported.

30k lbs of death is still death wether it is at 55 or 70. For me, the difference of 250 miles per day is enough that I welcome the shorter drive time. It may mean the difference of three days driving vs 2. Granted this only comes into play if I am on a clock to get somewhere on a schedule. Just on a road trip for a…

I keep seeing photos like this where Musk looks awkwardly photoshopped into the scene, but apparently they’re all real and he really is just lurking creepily behind people like that.

This organization tried to pull this stunt in MA, as noted. But MA citizens pushed back and Kei’s are now allowed in MA.

That’s another way to look at it, but I think the person thinking along these lines will be hard to find. And the color combo on this one narrows the field even more.

Yeah, imagine being in a photo with Trump and Vance and easily appearing to be the most deranged of the three.

It’s that lens that bothers me as well. That gives me “screw this I surrender” vibes that make me wonder what else is hiding in those big red flanks.

What a terrifying picture you led with. Wasn’t expecting something like that when I first open the site. 

55 MPH is more than a “minor inconvenience”. Have you ever driven (or been a passenger) crossing Kansas at 55 MPH? Christ it felt like I could get out and walk faster than that.

The 25 year rule doesn’t exist for safety or emissions, it’s because importing “grey market” cars from Europe was so lucrative a business in the 70s and 80s that the dealership lobby paid off Washington to make it illegal. 

Import age rules for private citizens are dumb. Let people bring in whatever deathtrap they want so long it won’t kill anyone else and doesn’t roll coal. An S4 wagon isn’t going to hurt anyone.

There’s almost no price that makes sense for cars like this; for something that costs so much new, they seem remarkably disposable once the glow wears off. If you’re wealthy enough to bear the cost of ownership, you probably want to lease something new or buy something collectable. If you’re buying this because depreci…

That was my immediate thought. I mean, it’s not particularly unusual to have the back seat loaded up with groceries, bags of cement, tools, books, random crap when you’re moving your kid to college, etc. Add this, and now you have to put a seatbelt in the buckle before you start loading or you’re going to have a…

Really looking forward to when I have something heavy in my backseat and I cant get my car to shut up.

It was literally mentioned in the report as the reason researchers started studying building sink rates, which is explained in the article. 

These drones are not only aliens, but they’re also takin’ our jobs!

Ohhh, noooo. Won’t somebody help the rich fucks?

Idiocracy. We’re too dumb to think critically. (we = society).

The good news for Florida is that it soon won’t be known for gators....
