They should just make a couple of dozen different noises it can make, including several variations of the above, such as “Deep Rumble”, “Screaming Turbo”, etc, along with:

I wonder if they'll add a little rubber tube underneath to drip oil in the driveway like the real one too.

Can you imagine if early cars had fake “clopidy-clop clop-clopidy-clop” sounds to make fake horsey sounds? Whatever comforts people who are terrified of change, I guess. 

I especially liked when it was cruising by in silent mode, and I could hear the clangs and clacks of it driving over metal strips and manhole covers in the garage.

I’ll take “Fragile Masculinity for 1000" Mayim.

My god this is dumb.

12 Years ago or longer I rode in one, I could not believe how much plastic was the interior and it rode worse than my 85 Mustang GT.  A complete overvalued and sold to those that wanted to look like it was something, pseudo Apple this crowd crap.  I thought the plastic was going to fall off and also there was no room

3 cheers for the jalopni-munity! it is 100% awesome that that someone can post something zany like this on here and there is a substantial chance that someone will respond “oh, that’s my friend’s dad’s vehicle”!

I was only talking about shareholders. Regulators should care, but the last 10 years is clear evidence regulators don’t have much of a purpose when it comes to companies with high evaluations. 

Your asking why would regulators care if the share price went up? You have any idea why they regulate public securities?

Because the share price still goes up, regardless if the company delivers. Why would they care?

Sounds like a prime opportunity for grey market speed governor removal.

Lol, 2.8M people die every year from obesity. Call me when they start regulating McDonald’s food and forcing people to exercise.

I’m sorry, but this sounds really dystopian. The idea that they’ll stop at requiring speed limiters is laughable, this will definitely morph into some kind of “driving credit score” that’ll give the insurance companies so much ammo to fuck us even more.

So go ahead and limit the speeds and people will still die in droves because the speed is not the issue, it is driving fast while distracted by ones phone that is the issue. Taking away higher speeds is not going to fix the rampant stupid that is prevalent on the highways.

Thank you for this... My mug says “teaching sand to think was a mistake” with a picture of a lil CPU on it, and reading this made me realize it’s not where it’s supposed to be... off to find it! 

I think the crisis is real. But the car loans are just a small symptom.

Actually it’s way worse. It’s pretty common for a shipping company to cease to exist while in transit and that leaves the crew stranded outside the port. They legally cannot come into port, disembark, or unload cargo, and even when THAT’S worked out, they’re in a foreign port with no money (since the shipping company

Bet you it isn’t. Those ships are booked so far in advance they probably couldn’t deviate from their scheduled ports for months, even if they’re stranded for months waiting to fulfil that schedule. For a start, who pays for the diversion if the contract is to load/unload at a certain location?
