I won’t touch my motorcycle for the rest of the day if I’ve had a drink. I just don’t want to lose even a half percent of my sharpness. You would hope that a pilot would show the same discipline.

But why when there’s an app for that? =)

Most breathalyzers aren’t that accurate. You could blow .01 just from gargling some mouthwash an hour before or as measurement artifact. The practical limit is zero if that’s the standard, as the average male will be at .02 from just one beer or glass of wine.

Can I offer a counter proposal that it be possible in 2024 to buy a car with nothing but a bluetooth receiver, amplifier and decent speakers with a mag safe iphone mount on the dash where the screen would go?

“AM radio is an essential communication tool during emergencies”

Exactly. It’s tiring to read these articles written by people living in the first world and pontificating about things they don’t have to live in the flesh.

I can’t remember which race series but they required all cars to all have air conditioners so Porsche connected it to the intercooler  

What happens to ICEs at extremely high temps?

What you’re describing is a Chevy Bolt. It’s a genuine shame they killed it off already. 

1. Even for the few Americans who have the money for a new car, EVs are expensive.

They know exactly what they’re saying - the general public has no idea what a true SUV is - CR is simply appealing to the lowest common denominator.

No reason to call it a guilty pleasure really. That’s more of an honest pleasure.

I see those freakin’ plate covers all the time in Florida and I just don’t understand it. They seem like a super easy ticket to write for obscuring your license plate, guaranteed revenue. I got one of those tickets on my bike for having a tiny college parking sticker in the corner that wasn’t covering anything on the…

With my full EV, I only have to plug in once a week. Maybe once every two weeks. With a PHEV, I’d have to plug in much more frequently, making it a hassle (for me) due to my less than stellar access to a plug.

A lot...err I don’t know exactly, but, some people do it because of the ever increasing intrusiveness of the CA government. There are two main themes I’ve noticed over the last couple of years. The first was as a result of COVID mandates, laws, ordinances, etc. Some felt they were too restrictive, limited their…

Like I said, I’ve lived in 4 different states so I’ll adapt to the Coloradian lifestyle real quick...It would be like I was always born and raised there =). The problem with Californians who leave, they’ll go to another state and try to make that state California, Like why’d you leave then!

Colorado is already all CA/TX transplants.  stay away!

If only if it was that simple...

Every safety regulation is written in blood, they were the sacrifice. They proved that any idiot with a lot of money shouldn’t just be allowed to do whatever the f(*^% they want.

Do whatever you like. Don’t do it in the left lane, I’m using it far better and very far more safely than you are.
