Except it’s not, it about the speed differential. Now to be fair an impact at a higher speed IS more dangerous but if the limit is 70 and the majority are doing 70, someone going 80, or going 60, present a similar level of danger to the vehicles doing the limit. Take Houston for example, though not the greatest…

Well to be fair if everyone else is going 79 it’s safer for you to speed 9 mph over than it is for you to be going 70.

Agreed especially since this WILL cost us the end user more for a vehicle, it doesn’t matter if it adds a few pennies to the build cost the automakers will probably add an additional $100 on the MSRP.  But also it only saves 50 people nationwide. So this will make 0.12% of a difference, at least based on 2023 number…

I assume they meant bolt on’s lol. But yeah I don’t know any car that gets decent mileage on E30, One of the YouTube creators I watch, mainly computer stuff, has a track I think Camaro ZL1 that runs an E30 tune and he has some other performance ad on’s, he get single digit mileage. I can’t remember the year but it’s…

I doubt weight is really the issue. I think the main problem is emissions, it’s harder and harder to get a NA V8 to meet emissions. IT’s why a lot of automakers are moving away from them, or if they keep them it’s turbocharged with much smaller displacement.

“i mean, jesus tap dancing christ, who is the knuckle dragging trog who thought these were a good idea?”

Yup, I don’t like that they are there but I obey them anyway. Thankfully I only have one on my way to work so it’s not that bad. I have more of an issue with the dumb ass parents who will block a cross street because they MUST make that turn instead of wait a light cycle.  It’s pretty common on the overpass I take.

LOL yeah there was a study IIC that going X under the limit is just as dangerous as going X over.

Interesting in Texas they all either have flashing orange lights, or the times when it is active posted, usually both. The “when children present” makes a lot more sense IMO. Like the one I mentioned on the feeder road, there is no reason to have one since no child, that I have ever seen, walks or bikes to it. Same…

lol ALSO dinner, just grab a paddle to get back to shore lol.

I am fine with a school zone in area where you might have kids walking to/from school, but like in my town we have one on a highway feeder road that I have driven past at least 1000 times at this point there is NEVER a kid walking to/from school, in that case I think the school zone is a little dumb.  Fun fact…

I kind of hoped they used the fish powered boat to go out and catch fish for dinner.

100% I think the saying is “a drunk mind speaks a sober heart” or something like that.

Head injury making you more easily agitated, sure I can 100% buy that, but the racist was already in there, not it’s just more likely to come out.

This I would bet you money there was alcohol involved, or pot being Cali

How exactly would it NOT hurt the owner. He is out $42k in product, product that typically has a very slim margin

I mentioned that lol, but it still just seems odd to me, but I have also see like construction worker and grounds keepers 100% buying beer before work.

“a hit-and-run at about 5:00 p.m

Oh yes they were basically razor blades lol I think we dropped them IN the can so they didn’t end up on the ground

I distinctly remember pull tab soda as a young kid, you would pull the tab off and drop it in the can lol.
