Have you ever seen a small car vs. full size truck wreck.... ever?  That’s pretty much how they all look.  A Corolla hitting a Ford or Chevy pickup can be pretty much totalled, while the truck drives away with slightly dented panel and a scratch bumper.  Physics.

And the drinking age... Oh, wait. nevermind.

That’s not how it works. The more people involved, the more of a PITA travelling is. You end up stopping more due to someone’s needs, and not necessarily at the place that is conducive to stopping, ie, someplace with available chargers. And if I’m going to have to sit for 15 or 30 minutes while charging, honestly it’s…

Yes. I had a ‘15 X5 50i for 7 years. Every day drive, and my winter drive also. It was literally perfect. Not a single thing had to be fixed or repaired. Nothing. BMW did the maintenance for the first 4 years, then I did it until I traded it in. I still kind of miss it. But how many cars, especially class leading, (at…

They have a finite battery supply for the foreseeable future, and they made a business decision that keeping the police supplied will be more profitable than spreading it thinner so they could supply a more fickle and unpredictable consumer. Seems like a logical decision to me.

40 years ago it was proven that we were headed for a new ice age.  I was there.  I read the science.  It was settled.

“so someone at McD is watching every step of every customer and calls a towing company immediately if sees a customer walking across the street even after buying food at McD?!”

Cops don’t “let the small crimes go”. They only have so much resources, they caa only do so much. If the DA isn’t going to prosecute, if they just dismiss all the small stuff and don’t prosecute, and don’t hold anyone responsible, why would the cops waste their limited time and resources.  If you truly want more law…

Exactly.  That’s what’s weird.  People are more interested in the driverless car than they are the fact that someone would drive away from an accident.  Crime and general lawlessness has become normalized to the point that that part of it is just accepted as normal.

The same can be said for flying cars. Been predicted for decades.  Gonna make everyone’s life better, etc.  Just like most pie-in-the-sky predictions, it’s not realistic. There are too many unforeseen circumstances and unintended consequences.

Just the opposite.  Anything over 85º and/or 60% humidity makes me feel like I need to take a shower 3 times a day and I can only take so many clothes off before I’m naked.  Cold weather I can put more layers on.  Not that I’m a fan of below zero temps but anything between zero and freezing is just a matter of what to…

It’s not a “powertrain upgrade” or a “software upgrade” or a “powertrain upgrade”. Journalists are enabling this nonsense by repeating the manufacturers spin and talking points. This isn’t adding something for a price, it’s removing something (that they installed) for a price.  How is this any different than…

Why would anyone buy this instead of Mazda CX-90? Alpha Romeo’s history doesn’t bode well when it comes to reliability. And when it comes to selling cars to a specific demographic, I would think that would be pretty high on most women’s list of priorities.  And I’m pretty sure the Mazda would beat out the AR in most…

Well, for those who are “upgrading” every year, the idiotic chasing of the (incrementally) latest and greatest is bound to finally sink in sooner or later as the pointless waste of money that it is. My X has lasted 5 years. Starting to get to the point of needing a new battery, so it’s probably a good time to get a…

Google is not liable in any way.

Idiotic legal system is to blame. Lawsuits include all parties involved if even tangentially, but mainly based on how deep the pockets are. Are there any pockets deeper than Google? Not many. I have a paper map (remember those?) that has that road and bridge on it.  So is the printer of the map responsible in any…

There is no amount of safety measures that can make train tracks idiot proof. Between suicides and societies normalization of drug use, there really isn’t any way to keep idiots from being idiots. If you’re walking around on the freeway and you get hit, everyone’s first question is, what was he or she doing on the…

I know, right?  I just don’t understand why popular music videos are so popular.

I agree with everything you said, except Max winning in anything he drove. I think it’s more the car than the driver. At this level, the top 20 drivers in the world don’t have multiple seconds per lap difference due to their talent level. If you put everyone in theoretically identical cars, there is no way one driver…

Your the one that wants to make others angry. What do you think rubbing a vehicles finish with grease will do? Make someone angry. You want to make someone you don’t even know angry because... opinions. So who’s angry brain is more in need of reflection?
