That poor ignition switch is going to need replacement. That’s a ton of weight hanging from there. Plus, how many times do you think that lanyard has been yanked down while the key is in there?

It’s the fact that you have to have multiple exchanges with Alexa that bugged me. If your car is too far away for your fob to reach or you’re unable to use your phone app to start the car, it’s fine. Otherwise, it’s just a time consuming gimmick. It’s a nice party trick though. “hey look, Alexa can start my car!”
It’s very clunky. When I had my Scat Pack, you had to say “Alexa, ask dodge to start my car” then Alexa would say “You want to ask Dodge to start your 2018 Charger, is that correct?” You’d say “yes”. Then Alexa would say “please say your 4 digit pin” you’d respond with the pin. Then about 30 seconds later, you’d hear…
They know the risks associated with such behavior and know just how many crashes have occurred during the show off exists from car shows. I’d argue that after seeing the cheerful and joyful reactions to cars skidding off the road, many of them ARE hoping to see a crash. Especially when majority of them say “YO! I GOT…
And these spectators see that when they scream “do a burnout” or “send it!”, the drivers oblige. They wouldn’t be gathered there and yelling at the drivers if they didn’t know that they’d provoke a favorable reaction from them.
I’d argue that if you’re so impulsive that you can’t NOT do something stupid because of an encouraging crowd, you’re also mentally unstable. The crowd doesn’t know if anyone in their car has a mental issue which can be triggered via encouragement. If one of these cars ends up killing someone, I’d argue that the…
There’s laws in many jurisdictions where spectators can be charged for watching street racing.
Can the same be said about the texting suicide case? The woman was texting her bf and told him to kill himself. He did, she got convicted.
Oh yes, the Ferrari patented propulsion method.
Unless you have detonation. In which case, yes it’s exploding.
And no car will jump that section again. They leveled that part of the track down since so many people wrecked their cars there. I’m positive there’s a turn pretty soon after the “jump” and people were slamming the brakes mid air, causing the car to skid.
If there’s nobody behind you and there’s light traffic with cars every 500ft or so in the right lane, there’s no reason to switch lanes after each car you pass. If there’s someone behind you, move over and let them through.
I moved down to NoVA from New Hampshire. I had to deal with MA drivers up there, now have to deal with MD and DC drivers. VA drivers aren’t saints by any means, but 95% of the time there is a left lane camper on I66 or 495, it’s an MD or DC driver. I wish the left lane law was enforced as strictly as VA enforces…
Those speed limits only work because each lane has a designated speed range. It’d be nice if MA, MD, and DC drivers would get the F out of the left lane when they’re going under the speed limit.
Wasn’t that the Aztek?
X6. NO!
I’m from Georgia (the country) and in 2008, Russian troops were seen with toilets on their tanks. I’m not gonna get into the politics of it, but people returned to their homes in the villages with toilets gone from their bathrooms. The south ossetian militia also stole clothing, soaps, kerosene heaters and so on from…
I’m not sure why this statement has become so controversial over the last few years. Yes, I’m sorry but your art history degree will not give you the same opportunities as a computer science major. It’s not discrimination, it’s just supply and demand. Just because you spent the same amount of money and are in the same…
Exactly. It was less of an informative car show and more of an entertainment. To me, the cars were just a bonus.
