This is beyond BaT pricing. They must be trying to rip off some idiot that thinks this is the right price for a fast wagon. 

Even with the low miles, this is grossly overpriced. That money could get you something much newer (if you can find one).

I used to think of myself as a pretty progressive person, but lately the stuff I’ve been reading on here (and other places, of course) has really made me rethink that. 

I’m going to star this multiple times.

Lots of countries have way fewer DUI deaths without installing breathalizers in every car.

The US has 300% more vehicle deaths per capita than Germany. How does Germany do that? Not with any of that BS you wrote about. They have strict licensing requirements and good transit infrastructure.

I’ll go finish the article in a second, but the breathalyzer part has some egregious errors in it, as a person that used to run a service center for these devices.

“NHTSA has all but given up on making American drivers slow down.”

Define “should”. Should the 99% of people who don’t drive drunk be forced to blow into their car every time they need to go anywhere? Should I care if someone is too stupid to wear a seatbelt and gets themselves killed? Should we restrict everyone to exactly the same speed so there is no passing, no speed difference

I can state without any hesitation that I would never, ever buy a car with even ONE of these features installed.

Spirit Airlines incites a brawl.

yeah its much better to get off the highway when youre doing 70mph and cant slow down and get onto surface streets in a busy downtown area near the fucking busy convention center.  dude needs to lose his license for the rest of his life. 

I injured my foot just watching you do this with flip flops on. Wear more protective shoes in the workshop! You could really injure yourself. 

I could do this and I’ve never flown a plane.

The plane landed the ATC and the passenger gave instructions.

So I used to fly private occasionally for work (I worked at an energy company and I had to get to really weird locations that would have taken all day on commercial flights), and I definitely appreciated it for that, but for long flights I don’t think I’d want to be on a little Falcon or a Gulfstream crossing the

For international flights, I usually book business class, particularly for overnight when I need to sleep on the plane. Premium economy is totally fine for daytime flights. However, the thing I find hardest about flying now is the pain of getting through the airport, security, hours of time wasted. I can see why
