They have exactly the size brakes they’ve needed for the past 70 years.  What do you need brakes for when you’re entire purpose is to continually go fast.  The brakes weren’t made to slow you down for a corner. 

Regarding the A/C... given this is a 1994 model year car, that means the AC system likely uses the R134A. And THAT means that even if the AC system needs service, it’s unlikely to need a complete upgrade/replacement which would be far more expensive.

I knew it wouldn’t take long before we saw Godwin’s law in action.

Plainclothes officers arrest people each and every day.  This isn’t new or different.  Now everyone has a cellphone with a video camera and we have social media populated by a bunch of bored progressives eager to be outraged over something (anything!).

They violated her Constitutional Rights. They were wearing plain clothes, driving an unmarked van, refused to identify themselves and didn’t read her her Miranda Rights.

Plainclothes officers arrest people every day.  Furthermore, they don’t have to read the subject their rights immediately.  They absolutely won’t do so in the midst of a riot, for their safety and the safety of the subject.

No, OP is right.

Absolutely agree with you. This “protest” bullshit and the way the media portrays these people as being civil and non-violent is a crock and is really getting out of hand. What’s even more worrisome is that there are some who actually believe that narrative.

Despite NYPD’s claims, the videos posted of the event show no bottles or rocks being thrown as these men snatched up the protester and hustled her into an unmarked minivan, though clearly marked cops on Trek-brand bikes can be seen maintaining a perimeter around the kidnapping

If they need to simplify their lineup I suggest offering only two choices of drivetrain: pure electric, or the wonderful supercharged V8. Everything in between is a waste of resources. 

It does depend on who you’re talking to, but there is a large contingent of urbanists who view automobility as an evil which must be extinguished. Just listen in to a San Francisco MTA board meeting, and you’ll hear some of that. But also listen for terms like “traffic violence,” which is an attempt to redefine…

So you’re going to what, demolish the american cities and suburbs and start over? Because retrofitting htem to walking when you have a 20+ mile diameter region to cover is not sane. Paris is 47 square miles. Denver is 154 square miles. Los Angeles is FIVE HUNDRED square miles. Different worlds there, built in…

Here’s the thing about 15 minute cities: They’re terrible.

I am a professional astronomer. I design and build the cameras that look at the stars (think Hubble or Gemini, not a backyard toy). The more detritus that crosses the night sky, the more difficult to study the nature of the universe. For each streak that crosses a single frame, an additional frame is required to…

I’m surprised you were able to type that, usually handling Elon’s cock and balls is a two-handed job

/S?

Newer stuff is more commonly stolen via tow truck nowadays. If you’re gonna chop it up, you don’t exactly need keys.

The hot ones are always f*cking crazy, but that doesn’t stop you, does it?

Some people can’t have multiple cars. Some people take on vacation a year and choose for that to be spent overlanding. The same rigs you see out on the toughest trails still go to work during the week and stop at the mall for pants. You track your sports car 90% of the time? You bitch that people drive around in their…
