“I have nothing to prove to you...”

If I’m the last person in line at a light, I always leave at least a car length and a half between me and the vehicle in front of me, and I keep one eye on my rearview. Same goes for stopped in traffic on the highway for road construction, accident ahead, etc, but I leave even more space then so that I hopefully have…

I drove a 2wd Ranger for 5 years in a region that gets 144" of snow a year, never had a problem on roads or jobsites. Put snows on all 4 corners, and carried quite a bit of weight in tools inside the cap on the bed. Did I pay attention to where I parked, you bet, but I never needed to get pulled out with a strap.

Works 70% of the time, on half the attempts.

If this was Georgia, they would have just given the kid a license on the spot and sent him in his merry way.

Would totally drive a car painted like that.

I, too, use Verizon.  I don't notice throttling too much.  I do notice 10,000 ads with autoplay and sound utilizing my bandwidth, however.

I’m glad that the worst damage that was done during this incident was to your shorts, I would certainly miss reading you.

I'm guessing both thoughts are a factor.

Had to check the image credit on that lede image.  I thought it was a Torchified Lambo with a Kia grill photoshopped onto it at first.

If I ran an oil company, I would have begun diversifying into alternative energy sources at least a decade ago.

I’d be willing to bet my retirement fund that none of the vehicles that Musk currently sells, or will sell in the next five years, will ever be capable of FSD.
