But having a drivers’ license and driving around in a two-ton death machine is NOT a right. It’s a privilege

Plates aren’t magically making the road safer.  I’m sorry your so inept at life you need government help to tell you how to exist and believe that it works.  

The key point in my argument is having REAL probable cause. I argue further that simply having a bull shit witness say “I saw a red civic with plate ABC doing XYZ”, is not even probable cause that should police officer to pull over, that’s hearsay and can easily be faked by paying a tweaker a couple of bucks or just…

Because you are walking around with an unique face.

I don’t have to walk around with my drivers license number on my forehead nor do I have to walk around with my SSN or SSN card. If they have probable cause they can pull me over and check if my vin is registered, otherwise why must they be able to identify the owner/register of a vehicle without probable cause? It…

Plates are bull shit anyways. IMO they infringe on my right to privacy. I’m not saying I shouldn’t register my car, but why must I drive around with a unique identifier? The only thing they are used for is to identify me whether they have probable cause or not.  On top of it all, if you’re rich enough, you don’t even…

Well they’re certainly not ACTING like they care, and words mean nothing.  So, by process of elimination, they don’t care.  

Did you read what I wrote? This got assimilated to (and quite obviously was meant to emulate) Monaco boats, which are NOT about sales, those are rich spectators looking to be seen.

Now I see it as simply a fairly successful attempt to tie in a very “Miami” look as one of its viewing venues.

Nah. Fake shit is way dumber than not liking fake shit.

Hard to believe her husband could get his dick hard enough to spawn the brood she has.

Take that not a lot of people are going to like but I think is relevant.

I think deep down Mini was never alive to them. It certainly wasn’t for me. Yeah, they look cool, but they’ve always kind of been junk since being under BMW. Looks are not enough for the people who would keep Mini alive.

The XLR failed because they gave it a Northstar and everyone, even senile gramps, knew that engine was a piece of shit.  

Look, I get it, it’s garish. But this is very normal in a lot a part of the country. Obviously not at this level of excess, but the style.

I don’t disagree that it’s a bit weak. But it seems it does make close to 230 stock. Which means everyone else is making more power than advertised too.

I never said it wasn’t possible. I said that’s their approach with the context of conversation being large scale automotive manufacturing which has price constraints. Building a homologation special allows for completely different kind of spend.

Crack Pipe.  

Well, it is a bad idea because the more expensive you make something the less people you have to sell it to.

What?  It’s $30K for a GTI S.
