I still have my first car. 1968 Mustang that I bought when I turned 16 in 1990. $2500. It is sitting in my folk’s garage.

When a huge crew cab full bed comfortable v8 chevy silverado gets 25mpg on regular gas, and a tiny crossover gets 30mpg and requires premium, its no wonder people are willing to spend the extra few bucks on gas. The big v8 will never need anything other than an oil change, while the tiny motors with turbos will not…

A realization that the only way we can afford to fix our highways and bridges is to raise the gas tax, with the repairs paid for by the users of said roads and bridges. And a way for electric vehicles to pay a fair share as well.

by dramatically cutting back on the EPA’s funding and staff and rolling back fuel economy regulations. But this doesn’t necessarily mean automakers will throw carbureted, smoke-belching V8s into all their cars like the good old days.

well sedans and compacts might not sell that well now, but the mpg penalty for the crossovers(jacked up station wagons) is minimal compared to their car counter parts they are based on. I see more and more compact-CUVs that are in fact smaller than a mid-size sedan. even if gas shoots up i do not see the cars…

What makes you think that Trump wanted low mpg, hugely inefficient vehicles running all over the road?

The story of The Dark Side Of The Hoon is a tale as old as Time and was bound to happen One Of These Days. There was A Momentary Lapse of Traction, and despite Mason’s best efforts of Turning Away he became Just Another Mc In the Wall, resulting in The Great Ding in the Side. When Mason saw the damage he felt so much…

Drummer do you think they’ll call the cops?

Well, if someone crashes into a creek, the city might get sued for damages. But if someone crashes into an occupied house, all that might happen is unique, irreplacable human lives being snuffed out.

The rocks they put up were a reasonably effective and (arguably) aesthetically pleasing choice. The other option would be the really big concrete planters that buildings use in urban areas where bollards are desired but deemed too ugly. They should get around any building restrictions, too.

Looks pretty flat. The stop sign is not obstructed, there’s a streetlight at the intersection, it’s a 25mph residential neighborhood, and there’s a freaking house sitting within the range of normal headlights well before the vehicle arrives at the intersection. Any driver missing that intersection is in some state…

paint them odd colors and it’s an “art installation”... anyone that doesn’t like it simply doesn’t understand art!

“Buy a spare heavy vehicle instead of rocks. No need to license it for permanent private drive.”

How about those cement columns they put at the entrance of bike paths and other areas that “no motor vehicles are allowed?” They’re ugly, but it’s better than your home being destroyed and less intrusive than a metal barrier.

Their cows will look like this.

They’d have to look up from their phone first.

Yeah but then there’s an ENTIRE HOUSE in front of them.

Wait, what? How do people keep running that stop sign? I was thinking there must be some kind of confusing signage or visual noise going on in the environment but there’s nothing of the sort.

I grew up on a street like this, my neighbors had multiple people crash into their living room. Now they have terribly ugly (but effective) bollards...
