Not a lawyer or a traffic engineer, but I don’t like the implication that since DOT can mitigate the danger of a typical hard surface, they’re now legally obligated to. After a few years every piece of concrete gets swaddled in 10' of safety barrier in case an addled AI just suddenly freaks out.

That AMC Eagle is oddly appealing, with its EFI’d I-6 and Radio Shack logo.

It’s what Friday is for. Halfass it with an eye on the weather report and GTFO the minute you can.

Yup. We have horses and visit our friends in Europe, but we live in a cruddy-looking house and drive old-ass cars we bought for cash.

What a funny coincidence, the Auto Utopian site published something similar a little earlier today!

Forget it Jake, it’s Kinjatown.

I will never get the logic of “Boeing can acquire McDonnell-Douglas because they lost so much value due to mismanagement” leading to “Let’s transplant the McDonnell-Douglas C-Suite into Boeing.”

Fuel per distance (liters/100km) instead of distance per fuel (MPG) means you get a more practical measure that doesn’t get wonky at extreme values (5 more MPG means a LOT more when you’re at 10 MPG than when you’re at 40 MPG.)

Next year you can import one!

I mean, if you can’t verify the authenticity, it’s not valid, that’s the whole fucking point.

Republican state legislators are mostly the lesser scions of rural gentry.

Cabin’s perched by satellites
And now we’re flying blind
We’ve got a lady pilot
She’s not afraid to die

Does he look like the dim-bulb son of the owner of a chain of rural auto dealerships?

I didn’t know about the FWD conversion! The Ranger EV was RWD with an electric DeDion setup, which I’ve thought about for an EV pickup conversion of my own.

ALPHA WOLF! Dumb name, cute pickup.

Saw an article about a radial engine custom bike a decade or two ago, they remarked at how insanely quickly it would rev up and down. “Like a crack of thunder” I think was the description, you just twist the throttle and BAM it’s up to speed.

As a resident of central Clackastan I will note that armpits have culture at least.

Saw the hed GIF and thought, “that looks SO MUCH like Highway 224, wonder where it is.” Looks like the answer is, “Highway 224 westbound in the Carver curves, approaching Tong Road.”
