What about bus / light rail?

I sold bikes for years and you just couldn’t sell beginner bikes. It seems better now, but I can’t tell you how many GSXRs,CBRs etc I sold to young males with zero riding experience. You just can’t talk them out of it, I think they would literally rather die on a sportbike than be seen on a 250.

Plus, I hate to say it but there is way too much easily-available power these days for WAY too many idiots. I know this won’t be a popular opinion here, but it’s the simple truth. Particularly in the US, there is no expectation (regulatory or otherwise) that people actually have training in this kind of vehicle.

Motorcy…

The problem with the Teslas (minus the new Model S) is that there is no resolution. It really is like a face with no nose. Its obviously designed to have *something* there, but instead of putting it there, you put a big expanse of nothing. Its flat, blank space. Put some curvature there. Something. Anything.

Judge: “And how does the police department answer charges that excessive force was used in detaining the alleged driver up to and including baton-sodomy?”

The dogs don’t deserve that, the Honda doesn’t deserve that, the baby doesn’t deserve that (yet, considering his upbringing). This guy is a gumball-worthy dipshit.

I’ve seen posts by idiots claiming you cant design a better A-10 and asking me to render a picture of a better one when what it looks like is entirely irrelevant. Modern armor would be more effective and lighter; sensor arrays could be optimally integrated rather than attached in ways that would impact other aspects…

The only reasonable solution are new built A-10s. New wings are only a partial measure, those airframes are several decades old and quite worn out from their heavy use over the last 25 years.

Not necessarily. There are things the A-10 cant do or is not perfect at. The point of this is saying nothing new that degrades current capabilities. Id be all for a new plane that does what the A-10 does, but better.

The problem is that computer engineers are no better as securing networks than the car guys are. You just have to look at the news and see how many breaches there are. That’s just the ones we know about too. Most companies don’t report. They just try to fix it and keep their mouths shut.

They don’t even need engineers. Here’s how to make these systems safer:

I think it looks much nicer than the Miata. I prefer the crisp lines to more bulgy looking styling of the Miata.

The extra torque doesn’t hurt, plus the added benefit of a boosted engine over a NA one is that tuning and simple mods usually nets a much higher increase in power, comparatively.

I like how the comments are stating they stick with a miata because of a slight HP difference when there’s a drastic (approx. 30 lb-ft) Torque difference...

It’s the 40 lb-ft of torque it’d be interested in. In the end I’d still go Miata probably.

And I enjoyed every single one of them

You’re kidding right? In 1995 the NMSL was repealed. Here in Illinois most of us are still waiting for 55mph to go away. Even the state legislature passed two bills over the governor’s veto to make it go away. It’s still here. Sorry, nothing that allows cops to hassle people and collect revenue is going to go away.

Of course. Because the people that will shoot a police officer would obviously follow all the other laws like window tint, restrictions on carrying a firearm and whatever caused the officer to initiate the traffic stop.

I’ve stuck to that guideline thus far (over 4 cars), and have driven interesting cars that I enjoy. It just requires buying older vehicles, which honestly isn’t that bad these days as good as cars have gotten. While I recognize that things wouldn’t work if everyone followed my lead, I am forever grateful to the poor…

You’re right, I was being facetious about giving the VW executives bonuses because they weren’t really trying to strike a blow against administrative overreach or anything like that.
