I have a feeling this will be one of those cases future engineers learn about in class.

I read a lot of curbed.com because I’m a modern home geek. They’re a pretty decent real estate site focused on larger trends around the country.

Stef, get a realtor who KNOWS the area. One who’s been in business 20 years or so. We did that here in Florida and gave him ridiculously strict criteria:

I would have loved a carport when I was in my apartment. Now that I have a heated garage, I cannot live without that. To be fair, my garage didn’t even have power when I moved in. I spent 3 weekends wiring, insulating and putting up drywall and a heater to get where it is now.

I totally agree, when I was looking at houses, I looked at pretty much anything on the market in my area in my price range, but I actually got excited about the ones that had dozens of pictures. The ones with 5-10 left too many unknowns to actually get excited.

The house we have now is also the one that impressed me with the garage.

All the others were like parking your cars in sardine cans before that. I needed a garage wider than the garage doors so I could actually open the long-ass doors on my Firebird and still be able to get out without a contortion act. Most of them…

HAR for the win.

I’m with the opinion that the responsibility should lie with the owner who makes the active decision to deploy a stupid robot unto the streets, thereby causing danger to innocents.

Are you smoking crack?

Forced arbitration is bullshit and should be illegal.

W had one torn down in my high school shop class, circa 1982, looked like alien technology next to all the slant 6s and ford 460.

The future was then!

As someone who has owned two FB RX7's, this is the greatest thing I’ve seen on YouTube in a very, very long time.

Since California announced they will be banning gasoline powered automobiles in the next couple years, this seems to be a moot point, because CARB and all their nonsense will become obsolete.

1st Gear: I’m really torn on this one. On one hand, I think CA has seriously gone nuts with its insane emissions laws that conflict with just about every other state in the US. On the other hand, I’m a firm believer in the 10th amendment. I may be stuck in CA for now, but at least I have the option to go to another…

Florida doesn’t issue front plate because it’s cheaper. They would be stolen and there would be two cars driving around on one set of plates. Front plates are only used by the State Police to identify additional revenue, er, I mean, tourists to ticket.

Front plates are terrible, block cooling airflow, ruin front end aesthetics, and should go the way of the dodo bird.

Except when they’re lying to pass new laws: Assumptions and Lies

We’ve covered this time and time again, but the reason why regulators in both the state of California and the federal government know just how easy it is for automakers to meet this standards is because they do extensive testing before proposing any rules affecting emissions.
