If I do not partake in pretending to mourn a dead stranger - in front of other strangers that did not know the dude either - who met his demise doing dangerous things, and that makes me a “major jerk”, then so be it. I can’t be arsed into hypocritical theatrics.

It may be safer relative to riding on the street, but it is still “hurling oneself as fast as physics allow, dancing at the edge of a catastrophe, in a desperate bid to get past others” which contains the possibility of getting rammed by said others.

Yes, the likeness is striking...

Are you being sarcastic?

Elva? :-/

Didn’t they put like LCD screens on the underside of one car so that the owner could watch TV as he wrenched? Like, in the wheel wells or something?

One day, all of this will be yours.

What is wrong with the old “Buy this $800 thing for $X upfront and then $Y monthly installments”? Like we have done for other expensive stuff since money was invented?

Extremely pretty on photo.

For some weird reason they settled upon 45 km/h as the max speed of an “EU moped”.

The raison d’etre of Lamborghini is to make histrionic halo stuff that hangs on bedroom walls of ten-year olds. Who then run and buy one as their first act if coming into wealth.

XD

Isn’t it time to start specifying EV power in kilowatts?

2010 or so was driving around in my Camaro with the targa roof down, and came up on an ancient 18-wheeler at an incline.

Welcome to the shitty future, where rent seekers nickle-and-dime you to death.

Just want to point out that at +250 km/h, drag contributes to deceleration quite substantially.

Personally, I am annoyed at the presence of tachometers in cars that have no business pretending to need them.

As I mentioned in the post to Southwest Nomad above, I have owned three cars with superchargers. All of them were equipped with a function that bypasses the boost when running on idle and very low load. When you stepped on the throttle, some valve instantly shut and full boost applied. This supposedly improved mileage

Bah, okay. :[

A valkyrie.
