You can add ALPR cameras to the Panopticon. Arss Technica has an article about a lawsuit against Norfolk Virginia and either the text or comment cites a prosecutor scanning a clinic for out of state plates

My son and his friends are among the outliers. My son bought a Toyota Corolla project from a friend specifically to have a manual transmission car. One of his friends is a truck driver and can float gears in his gasoline tanker. Also it's never too late to learn.  Mom was over 30 when she learned. 

This seems more like a “catalytic converter test pipe” than a Gllock switch sold as an airsoft accessory on Alibaba.  (every gangbanger in Chicago has one)

Over promise and under deliver it's the Tesla way. 

Is that a,factory R5 Turbo or did some mad lad build his own?

Apparently Russian dashcam videos are coming to NY. Jalopnik had some articles about just this thing in Russia a few years ago complete with OMG he had a dashcam

For a second car 200 miles would do all my local driving, and some long trips.  I live in a semi-rural area and go places with no chargers so my other car would stay ICE

There’s a long tradition of making rear engined monsters out of small hatchbacks from the Renault R5 Turbo through the Festiva SHOgun and the occasional big block Chevette (use a Toronado transaxle). I'm sure it's interesting to drive, but in hoon like crazy way or hit the wrong pedal and it's backwards into the woods 

In the interest of completeness Ford also had the Ranch Wagon which was the lowest spec model, with the Country Sedan and Country Squire above

These numbers are mind boggling. He went from making big money, by my standards to not much more than I make now. He bought a billionaire’s car on a thousandaire’s income and now has as much negative equity on his car as I have positive equity in my house.  He makes the TikTok lady look almost sensible.  He doesn't…

That was my first thought,  take the star

I haven’t noticed issues with my Scorpion Evo compared to my old Shoei full face. If anything visibilty is slightly better since the Scorpion has a tinted inner visor so I don't need sunglasses 

I don’t live near most of these and don’t want to go to any state with a Wawa. I will keep in mind Love’s may have better food than Pilot but I rarely eat in truck stops. Besides the Pilot I pass most often in Chemult has a great pub next door.

The Toyonda Tax also applies to Subaru,  at least in peak areas like the PNW and New England.  It's part of the reason I have a Mazda.  The early Forester is a good car but not $8,000 worth

I read this as Tesla exhausting the supply of CyberCucks.

If you struggle with the d rings shop around, some helmets use a seat belt type buckle, set and forget. Flip fronts are nice for street riding, although they are not allowed for racing.

I think those wheels look like C4 Corvette and this give New Balance and Jorts vibes. ND because original and unmolested are out there 

Chevy and GMC square body trucks from the 70s and 80s have become very expensive because of this nostalgia and “hierarchy”

One of my neighbors was hauling 12-16' lumber in a Chevy Avalanche,  one of the few,times I've seen a Midgate in action
