LMAO, *cries in poor* you lucky duck I have driven neither but see a Viper. I know Matt Farrah told the story of driving on the highway with the small block V8 Cobra they had at Gotham Dream Cars and said it was to this day probably the most scared he has been in a car. I always thought the Viper was cool, mainly…

How many children did it eat? LOL, but I think this might be one of the few “fast car slow exceptions”. The only car I have heard regularly described as more terrifying to drive, is a high HP Cobra

But ‘Merica lol. the whole global pandemic is also largely behind the surge of inflation.  But the average job numb nuts, and this applies to both sides, always blame/praise the sitting president for the economy which is pretty much wholly out of his/her actual control.

“they have to actually innovate and find more efficient ways to make the power.”

Well yeah your in Cali it’s ALWAYS more expensive there lol.

Exactly, a lot of industrial machines run old outdated hardware/software because it just works. Win 95 less so, but a machine running DOS barring a hardware failure will run 24/7 for like decades, because DOS just doesn’t crash, it 100% can crash it just doesn’t very often.  Computers in that type of environment…

Right those first gen cars were actively trying to kill you every time you drove it.

I mean not really, other than these cars are stupid expensive. Its that the regulations are killing these super low production cars, I mean the F80 sounds like garbage for what’s supposed to be this halo supercar, and it’s partly because of the V6 and hybrid system they had to use to fit into regulations. And that’s…

“ but they are “clinical” in how they deliver that performance and that makes them a bit boring.?”

The problem is all of the above. This is why I am behind exempting from emission and sound regulations on small run, small use vehicles, not NO regs but like walk them back to the mid 2000's. None of these are going to see a TON of miles, I would bet a lot never make it much past 1,000 miles, if that. Heck a modern…

Yes, but KISS, I mean there are still robots and other machinery that run via a serial port, and that has been outdated for decades. A lot of places run tech that is massively out of date because it’s simple, and it works.

Exactly doubly so when you consider Cadillac is seen as up market from Lincoln.  But cars are across the board to more and more expensive.  Partly because of all the new fancy tech consumers seem to want, think surround cameras, all the ADAS stuff etc. and partly because consumers will just pay for it.  And then…

I mean no it’s really not. This is like saying someone drank a beer 2 days ago and not letting them in the bar. They aren’t under the influence they just happened to use it previously and are now completely sober. While I do agree with your sentiment of their country their laws. But its a difference between googling a…

I thought I had seen something like that before. This is pretty much the same thing, just for EV fires and because of how EV fires work it makes a TON of sense.

Lets be honest all full size trucks/suv’s from US automakers have been approaching this for a while. Most of the full size trucks on local lots are in the 60k to 70k+, that used to be like higher end BMW Merc money, now it’s every fucking non WT model truck.

I think Germany can do something similar involving Nazi propaganda. Though I think that’s just in country. I don’t know, like having weed in my system, but NOT actively high or bringing it in country, is like one of those things I would NEVER even consider before visiting some place.

That’s pretty cool. I think I have seen something similar for structure fires to punch through a door and spray water.

The short answer is yes 100%, the slightly longer answer is that YES if you spent enough time in that environment it could, likely would, show up on a piss test. But the length of time it could show up in your system isn’t that long. The kind of “conventional wisdom” is it stays in your system about 30 days, for an…

Me either closest one is well over an hour away.

I mean sure I get that, and if you are using IN country 100% ok with you getting in trouble, even if I might personally disagree. But using say in California, and flying to China and getting booted because of a dirty piss test is crazy. I mean after that flight even if you smoked right before boarding you would be…
