No car needs more than 40 HP.  The world doesn’t need to trade lives for your wanton desire to haul your toys around.  Are you moving your house?  Hire a professional mover and don’t tell me you need a $100,000 pick-up.  And guns.  No one needs guns either.  Or citizenship.  I have a list.

The real problem is that if you are warned not to drive it, and you drive it anyway, and something bad happens you go from simple negligence (pay the damages) to wanton and willful where you can be on the hook for punitive damages - an award that will be of such an extent as to show you a painful lesson and discourage…

But...cars used to run on castor oil. Wiki says “...Castor oil has better low-temperature viscosity properties and high-temperature lubrication than most vegetable oils, making it useful as a lubricant in jet, diesel, and racing engines.”

You do know that police have been known to shoot people in their own homes for no good reason, right?

Death Valley should be more than just a name to these guys.

San Pedro is 72% POC. Pretty sure it isn’t MAGA central. Maybe the guy is a jerk in real life.

The one for sale isn’t much bigger.

One small step for a man.

Is that where your instrument tops out at?

“But these are Russians.” I’m sure you mean ‘But these are Ukrainians’.

There is no legitimate way an 18 year NYPD police captain is driving a Corolla. Not even his kids would be seen in that kind of POS.

I dunno.  I bet she was pretty athletic, and I’ve seen a lot of movies where just this kind of thing happens and no one gets hurt.

Keeps me glad the US doesn’t involve itself with what’s going on in foreign countries.

For now. Pretty sure this isn’t their endgame. And as in all things, it will never be perfect but will be judged by the value of it’s utility to the few against the potential for tremendous harm.

Right. And those folks loaded onto the cattle cars might be spies or saboteurs.  God will sort it out.  That’s the logic behind the Laconia war crime.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconia_incident

“...the film likely underperformed due to marketing and, more importantly, growing fatigue with the MCU..” Boy, that’s rich.  It was poor marketing that kept folks away after the first weekend.  It was superhero fatigue that kept folks away from Guardians.  Yeah, pull the other one...it’s got bells on it.

Ram?  Oh, the Chrysler pick-up trucks favored by jackasses.  Figures.

Maybe she should have made a better life choice.

Meh. Treat alcohol like guns - kills as many people a year. Make folks jump through hoops, get a license, show it to buy.

I foresee this fad of automated driving going away as soon as the first court applies unlimited liability to automakers. Anything that can happen, will happen and one of these cars is going to mow down just the right cute little kid whose family finds just the right lawyer.
