Madrid is anything but rural. And a 48% drop in noxious fumes is nothing to sneeze. Certainly not over a ban on less than 2 square miles of a city that has more than adequate mass transit. 

Hydroplaning can cause the same issue. One sides lifts above the road surface an instant before the other and your instantly slipping sideways.

Now that I can mostly agree with. I'd add one addition to the list and that's if your wife is worried about her hair. You don't want to wake up missing important body parts because you blew up her do. Lol

I took a romp through the desert in AZ with the top down in my XK. I was fine but I did cheat a bit. I had the a/c on blowing at my ankles. But hey, I had it so why not. 

Sorry Vin, but soft tops rule. Convertible hard tops sacrifice too much trunk space. 

Judging from the choices supplied by the staff, I'm not so sure I'd agree with that. 😉

Well thanks. Your sweet for saying so.

Plastic and contact-less readers may be convenient, but as a database professional I still submit that cash is king. Every purchase you make with plastic is recorded. And every company that collects data shares or sells it. The more you give away, the more chance you have at being taken and the less privacy you can…

Feel free to drive one around if you want. Not me though. Had I been in something like that last year I could very well be replying from a hospital bed right now. I was 4 blocks from home crossing a one way street on a green light when some little old lady driving the wrong way on that one way street t-boned my 335 in…

There were more problems with them than just that. I had my car break down once and my dad loaned me his new conversion van to get around for a few days while my car was in the shop. It was beautiful, but there was one problem I didn’t expect. It was summer and the heat of the sun caused all kinds of fumes to emanate…

Damn it. I was ripped off. I had to buy my own.

There are Tesla’s out there with over 200k mikes on their battery packs.

Back in the day a conversion van came with a girl. Lol

I work with data. All kinds of it from many different sources. I have to look at data as a resource. Gleen information from it for my clients. With access to enough data sources, I can tell when you’re home and when you’re not. What your net worth is. What your political affiliation is. What bills you pay. Way more…

True, but a BMW will still cost too much to keep in working order. I have a BMW mechanic for a neighbor so I was fine with keeping my 335 on the road before some old lady tboned me while on the way home last year. But it still wasn’t cheap to repair when it broke even though he got me the parts at his cost. So you…

I have a better idea for fixing crowded roads. And the commute would be more fun to boot.

This was good news and there is more you didn't mention. The appeal trumps team is reportedly mounting goes to the DC circuit court where none other than Judge Merrick Garland presides. I find that fact absolutely and ironically hilarious.

Ford made 24+ billion in profit over the past year according to the latest figures. They are saving over 200 million a quarter with the new tax bill. Yet they stll need to save 600 million by laying off 7000 white collar workers? What's wrong with this picture?

As of right now, the Supreme Court says you can’t. Not if she wants an abortion before the fetus is considered viable. The Roe vs Wade decision is the law of the land.
