They’re also an incredibly good way for people of average means to plan for their future. They’re not a bad thing.

I’m almost there with you. The only clarification I’d make to your last paragraph is that if people are free to do what they will with their bodies, or with other consenting adults (something I strongly STRONGLY support, by the way), they should also be responsible from any repercussions that their behaviors or…

Both parties are bought and paid for by big business. Hillary was in Wall Street’s pocket. The Dems occasionally throw the people a bone in the form of a law that is pro consumer rather than pro business, but otherwise they’re pretty much the same as Republicans.

Like the saying goes, “Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is an enemy action.” Except in this case, I would change the last bit to, “Three times is manufacturer negligence.” The first couple of Autopilot accidents could easily have been growing pains, but now Tesla shares equal blame with the…

thats the amazing thing that it saddens me to see not enough people have caught on to yet: the Democrats are “rich” too, and they only care about maintaining their wealth, same as the Republicans. There is no longer a party that looks out for the best interest of us unwashed street urchins.

2nd gear: It isn’t wages, it is regulations. It was like a switch got flipped in the last 6 months as the regulations went into effect. Instead of being able to fudge paper logbooks trucks automatically get shut off once you reach a certain driving limit. I’m surprised the Washington Post article cited only had one…

“So, why don’t the automakers just follow the CARB rules and thus would be complying with the US Federal rules?”

Simply because the headline is false and prima facie asinine - far from taking a stand on climate change or some such Gawker nonsense, automakers just want a harmonized set of regulation as not to increase…

Back in PR, I worked about 70 miles from home (other side of the island), so I had a small apartment I’d stay at close to work. There was a student who lived next door for a few months, and one day she showed up with a different car.

0.043 seconds is all that separated Al Unser, Jr’s victory from Scott Goodyear’s second place in the 1992 Indianapolis 500 race. Get ready for some great action as we close in on the 102nd Indy 500 one week from today.

One thing to remember is back in the good old days, it was called the month of May for a reason. There were actually two weekends of qualifying, and one of racing, making three weeks of activities. Ah, those were the days.

I’m sorry, I’m sure that “The technology they used to convert the E-Type could theoretically also be used to transform a lot of old Jaguars into modern-day eco-friendly versions of their former selves”, but no, that doesn’t make it cool. Cool is the original DOHC, triple carbed Jag engine. This is nothing more than…

Nice to see he thanked Citroen for building a strong car, but if it were me I’d like to think that I’d track down the guys who actually built the roll cage and offer my deepest thanks. I still don’t see how he and the navigator weren’t killed with how far back the front is peeled. I’m guessing the racing seats are…

I’m sorry, but I hope they don’t make too many of those if they’re using real Series 1s as the base. It’s what the Eleanor conversion is to the Mustang, except that there are hundreds of thousands of 1967 and 1968 Mustang fastbacks to customize, and only a few thousand surviving early E-types out of a total run of…

I was wondering whether Harry would get a nice ride as a wedding gift, after Prince Charles loaned (he’s been seen driving it since, and stories say it was just loaned—I thought it was a wedding gift) William his Aston Martin DB6 for his wedding to Kate. That DB6 is propane powered, I believe. This Concept Zero Jaguar…

Update from Kris here:

I love bump day so much. This is sports. You have to compete to win. Teams miss the playoffs. Teams get relegated. Teams lose. Thats the point! It’s a competition!

I think that the two drastic responses are Elizabeth’s and then everyone elses. Bump Day is amazing!!!!!!

Im guessing every one that runs should get a trophy as well?

The Indy 500 does not hand out participation trophies. Want to make the race this year? Don’t be slow or screw up.

Yay 4 cylinder Silverado will look great in EPA tests.
