A far easier approach is to NOT COUNT unbelted fatalities as auto fatalities. Instead create a new “idiot” category for them. Lumping them in with belted occupants unfairly penalizes the auto industry and leads to idiotic things like automatic seat belts.

I used to work as an attorney for a firm that represented an insurance company. All the issues you laid out are pretty much exactly correct.

Counterpoint: Unless you don’t and you are, it’s ideal.

Meh, hyper-milers are car enthusiasts, just a very different type. No reason to kick them out.

The car smells nice

I think everyone here knows what I mean. We all know a Marcus. Marcus, in the abstract, is the guy who you’ll have over to your house on Sunday for a few hours to watch football, but you know your girlfriend isn’t going to like it. By the third quarter, and 25 references to his “ball stink” later, your girlfriend goes…

Reports say all the passengers were out of the plane within 45 seconds - half the time the plane is certified for. Well done flight crew!

At first I didn’t know the guy and liked the idea of a flamboyant Italian executive leading Chrysler. But I’ve grown to loathe Sergio.

The Compaq LTE laptops had a proprietary “Enhanced Option Slot” that was a software programmable interface that allowed the installation of 3rd party communications devices. I’m guessing that the CA card was designed specifically for the Option Slot hence the dependence on the LTE.

Spoken word.

I think you are dead-right actually. People just love to joke about the PT cruiser. But anyone who was around when they came out can easily recall how much excitement the things created. They sold extremely well. Then They were NEVER redesigned and just mouldered away. They could have easily just kept on gradually…

We all hate on the PT Cruiser now, but I remember it being the hottest shit among people my parents’ age (so 40s) when it first came out.

I’d go find a gif that shows someone missing the point, but I’ve got better things to do.

The things that I’ve done in my life have come nowhere close to being as reckless and stupid as these guys were in two minutes. At no point in my life have I done something that has endangered others or myself to this degree. As a person, I’m boring as fuck, I don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t do drugs. I follow the…

You just have to look at it right. It was a $300 bike with a $700 education in motorcycle repair. Or at least that’s the way I view my project, which is the only way it makes any sense!

The Eurosport VR had a 3.3L fuel-injected V6 that produced 145HP at 4400rpm.

Please tell me you’ve at least driven one. Yes it has body roll, yes it has turbo lag, yes it has no grip, yes the sitting position is stupidly high, yes it has almost zero reliability, yes its a five speed, yes its fwd. BUT ITS JUST SOOOOO GOOD!

I got a TVR tail light story for ya.

Totally agree. Part of the beauty of buying a BMW or a MB is how easy it is. The salespeople aren't newbies, they have some years in the industry and know how to deal with other humans. You can still negotiate with them, but I find them to be polite, willing trade partners.

Yep, used to have a 2008 Fortwo Passion as a company car. Once I learned to drive the transmission (there is a definite learning curve - it lets you re match downshifts but you have to do it on your own, and you tend to use it in manual mode 100% of the time), it’s a fantastic - dare I say very fun - car to drive.
