Dang. You've sure spawned a lot of hate with your ignorance. Good job! This is what is right about America!

Texan's aren't hypocritical in this, the system has not been bad enough to push them to change it. To your point, this could be the issue that brings enough folks eyes to the issue. People, Texans included, don't spend a lot of time sitting around thinking about how auto dealers operate, their regulatory environment,…

You're right. Government, in general, is inefficient and prone to corruption.

Not sure what the regulations are regarding random placement of "art" on public byways but I have to think, whether it's art or advertisement, interesting, offensive, or otherwise, it's the locals call. If they don't want it there, and they've pointed out to TXDOT that it's not "legal", then should go.

I'd be happy if it was simply more chip resistant. Cars these days chip sooo easily. My sons 83 240d (yes, it's a 4spd) has fewer chips after 297,000 miles than my wife's couple years old beemer. Make shit that lasts and I will buy it... it's my new mantra, more and more I value pure utilitarian durability over tech,…

True, it is but one of many depraved things you can do with an immensely powerful rwd V8. The question is, why limit yourself?

Not only can you travel more than 300 miles on a "charge" of gasoline, recharging only takes about 5 minutes, or the amount of time it takes you to pee and buy some beef jerky and bottled water!

Nice GTR!

Granted, Nissan dropped the price of the volt by $6,000 to a low-low $28,800 before incentives, whereas the Volt still costs around $40,000.

Driving with your chin hair is dangerous!

Political correctness wins again.

Right! But to make it sound right to the ear he should say KER system. lol.

4th- "...worse, more reckless or just better at getting away with it". None of the above. It makes them disobedient drivers. I don't know why you would ever equate driving skill to a petulant attitude towards the law. I guess your assumption is that all driving laws are reasonable and that any infraction of them is…

Yep. It's just you.

No. A free market is helpless w/o da gubment . Fortunately, we have a mixed economy. So the more regulated (nationalized) industries , you know, healthcare, banking, automotive, will obviously be healthier than the less regulated industries like tech, big box retail, etc...

But that doesn't mean the market will accept them. To me this is the biggest question... not IF we can make them, but are they practical enough, cost the right amount, etc. to create demand. The coolest tech ideas don't always translate into dollars and sense.

Also, quick tip to all you drivers out there: If a fertilizer plant is on fire, don't just sit around filming it from what you think is a safe distance. That can change more rapidly than you might expect.

50 years before we turn over our entire fleet to autonomous cars? Based on what data? In principle I object to the notion that "one day all cars will be xxx". Whether you're talking about battery/hydrogen-powered electric cars or autonomous cars, it's not that black and white. The market still has to accept this…

Don't get me wrong, I'm constantly annoyed by these hyperbolic headlines, car-related, or not.
