    This may not be the actual reason, but did you see how little room there is for pedals? I think it will be hard enough to get a gas and brake pedal in there, much less a clutch pedal for a manual

    I really don’t think that its called “premature detonation” because detonation of fuel, rather than the normal rapid burning, is never good, premature or not. I believe that the term is simply “detonation” since any detonation of fuel is bad.

    So, Arpanet, a private, military and science-only computer network, just automatically became the internet we use today, with no help from anyone? You may want to actually read all that Al Gore did to ensure the availability of the modern Internet before you comment.

    He was also instrumental in breaking up AT&T, leading to competition in the phone industry, leading to the end of $.10 per minute phone calls, leading to monthly unlimited plans, leading to us not having $500/mo phone bills to watch porn online. Al Gore had more to do with the internet than even he has claimed.

    Nope, nope, nopety, nope, nope.

    This is so simple as to border on the idiotic. When “negotiating” from a distance, you have no negotiating power. The essence of negotiating is that the seller will be guaranteed a sale if he meets your price demand. If you ask him for his “best deal” only to go around shopping it to other dealers, you’re giving him

    Polestar. Did their branding research agency not know that in English that could easily refer to the chick at the local strip club? I can’t be the first person to realize that, can I?

    *couldn’t care less

    Jeez fella, don’t hold back. Say what’s really on your mind.

    Yeah, because we should be able to wreck cars and not even suffer injuries that are “minor enough”. Plus, our insurance documents should be automatically presented to us after a crash. Are you shitting me?

    Hmm, I would imagine that you meant “lobbyists” (plural), but do you even know what one is? If you did you might realize that you can’t have a First Amendment if you make lobbyists illegal.

    Say what you will about these companies, but by selling cars to people with bad credit they enable those people to have a chance to fix their credit, by being able to drive to their jobs. For most people, No car=No job.

    That’s redundant

    Definitely more Don Draper

    25 years in the car business and I’ve seen/heard hundreds of non-attentive drivers blame the cruise control for what was then referred to as “unintended acceleration”. That false accusation is what killed the Audi 5000 in the 1980s. This is just another version of the same thing. When you fuck up, blame the autopilot.

    94 octane is not “the good stuff” as you’ve been conditioned to believe. It simply has more anti-knock additives in it. If your car doesn’t knock on regular fuel, there is no difference, other than the one in your head.

    I’m amazed that covering a car with graphics like that is somehow called a “disguise”. It’s like a 3-year-old who covers her eyes and thinks that no one can see her now.

    The issue with the tires is that they’re supposed to be for a production road car, not just the track. That is where the issue lies. Of course they can make tires to handle that speed, but they’re claiming to build the world’s fastest production car, and they can’t claim to do so with racing-only tires.

    First of all, thanks for reminding us of what is likely the most overused cliche’ God’s green earth, “Driving is not a right...”. Next, how do you know which roads in Leonia are county roads, state roads, or U.S. hwys? Your simplistic response to this makes me glad that there are actual, educated lawyers working on
