Right, because what we really need is an organizations that can make us look as terrible to the public eye as the NRA does to gun owners.

Sounds about white.

Drove a Sportwagen maybe a month ago. Found the suspension surprisingly stiff (about on par with my 13-year-old Mazda 3 with worn out shocks). Definitely not something I’d suggest for my mom unless you have lots of smooth roads where you live.

And it does run with just regular gasoline. Sorry, pal, but you could always lie!

As someone who takes long highway trips, my next car will definitely have adaptive cruise control. I do find that a useful feature.

He conceded I was right

I usually just ride half on the shoulder and half on the road with my work truck.

On a serious note, I’m glad he’s okay, and admire his courage. I’m glad he’s getting the support he needs, and is trying to help those in similar situations.

“On permanent disability [...] thanks to a bum groin”

Reportedly management called him up and said “It’s a Shane but we’re Doan with you.”

Actually, I will give him the private plane one. I don’t think the issue there is disdain for being too close to the masses (there might be some of that), but you can control access and security much better with a private jet situation. If he were just flying on a regular old commercial plane out of a regular old…

The hell of it is, if he took off the fucking eyeliner and wore a little less jewelry...maybe threw on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a hat...he probably wouldn’t even be recognized on a commercial flight. His “persona” has sort of given him a built in out to be able to dress down and not be recognized.

In this day and age, neither. Headlights should be permanently on with no way to turn them off. There are too many idiots that don’t understand how to turn on headlights in the rain, fog or even at night that we should make them stay on all the time.

I’m of the opinion that your headlights/driving lights should just always be on, and then you can have a switch or button somewhere to turn them off, thus making this option pretty much moot. In my Subaru, you turn the car off and the lights turn off, because why would I want my lights to stay on when I turn the car…

This is a dumb take. Nobody would plan to run an oil pipeline through a failed state and we could have easily just made Assad our puppet regime years ago with promises of US spending and weapons. Any argument that has us spending billions to build an oil pipeline through a place where rebels could blow it up on a…

People can no longer afford or have places to park multiple cars. They need cars that can do everything, if nothing particularly well, not several speciality vehicles.

I agree to a point. I actually like a few crossovers that are really just hatchbacks that are lifted.

I....what? I don’t disagree with your pile on comment (she seems just about as inept as any other politician) but no one is playing identity politics except you.

Exactly. And why are we to expect computers to make the best decisions in ALL instances? We never tested for that in human drivers.

I find it amusing how everyone is stuck on this ethics thing for autonomous cars. The circumstances where an autonomous car will be left with only two choices, kill person A, or person B, are SO remote that they don’t even warrant discussion, in my opinion.
