Stop freaking out. It’s known that Russian spy satellites can see our military bases. In fact our nuclear treaties rely on Russian satellite surveillance on our nuclear silos for verification. If the US suddenly tries to hide our nuclear silos, that’s when sh*t hits the fans.

Except the cyclists blowing through stop signs are not the ones being hit by cars. The cyclists dutifully stopping at stop signs, are the ones being hit by cars.

Unless you are proposing to turn us all into robots, we are human beings. We are going to have a lapse in attention every now and then. The point is to make these momentary lapses in attention less deadly.

I imagine they employed a small army of men just to shovel horse droppings off the streets.

I imagine she could work on battery cooling without skipping a beat

One major problem is that trucks are so tall that the driver would not be able to see a person walking in front of it. If you build a tall vehicle, the hood must slope downwards enough that you can see pedestrians.

why don’t we find ways to avoid the collision in the first place

unless you were really in a weird tax situation and couldn’t cash in

The time for convertibles is done and gone. They should just make the next Miata a permanent hard top sports cars.  On my third and last Miata, I never took the hardtop off.

he’s asked me what a ND would give him that the NC2 doesn’t have

If he actually mechanically over-reved the engine, wouldn’t it break then and there? What would be the mechanism for it to break miles down the road?

That is not looking good. At some point these crumbling wheels will put the rover out of commission.

I’ve been wondering how Nissan is still in business for the last 20 years.

The ladder frame is steel. The wood is more like a skeleton for the aluminum body work. 

The droopy 2nd (or 3rd) generation Chevy S10:

I am waiting for the Hummer H2's spiritual heir the Cyber Truck to be cancelled.

It’s an enthusiast car. If the stock seat doesn’t work for you, change it out and put a Recaro seat in there.

That is a great data analysis exercise. However used car prices are not like new car prices. Used cars have a pretty long tail towards the low end. You can find old running domestic cars for $2000. Cars needing major work for $1000. Clap out rust buckets for $500. And there are always a few horrid cases for free. So…

Except during that time frame ALL cars were overpriced. Be they cheap cars or used cars. Everyone had to overpay during that time frame if they needed a car.

Actually my mother also bought with cash, but that is beside the point. The point is that cars were crazy overpriced during the ‘supply chain’ era, and if you needed a car at that time you were hosed whether you paid cash or not.
