Using your CDC stats it sure doesn’t look like I was lucky to survive my teen driving years rather others were unlucky. 7% of population (~23 million) are teens and teen drivers had ~2300 fatalities and ~230,000 injuries. Odds in a year for a teen to die in a car crash, 1 in 10,000. Odds of an injury 1 in 100…

I could maybe guarantee my children’s safety by keeping them locked inside and well fed. Life involves risk and it would be heartbreaking for either of my children to die. Maybe it would happen in an unbelted rollover accident in a Wrangler or maybe it would happen in a 5-10 year old beater (which will still be miles…

And for those reasons it should be a surprise that they even managed to sell 183 of them new when the price was what like 80-100k? Neat but a silly premium for a stick in a car that won’t be more fun for it. CP.

Since they are closed I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to name them. Brickskellar I’m guessing?

This was the mileage on my 2003 Taurus yesterday. Yes it is a Taurus and yes maybe I kinda ran it into a wall a little bit once (ok twice), but it sure as shit doesn’t come close to costing me over $6k a year to own before counting the gas money.

Suggested bumper sticker for Tatra owners?

I once had a 1992 Taurus SHO and it had a moonroof (that’s what Ford called their sunroof...) The open/close toggle switch was notoriously fragile being old, plastic, and not backed by anything solid. I forget if replacements just couldn’t be found or maybe they were stupid expensive.

Why not put the mileage in the article? Instead, I had to click through to Hemmings to find out just how mint ‘mint’ is. 

I went to the University of Tennessee and parents still lived in Florida. On my many trips, I learned after my second ticket to stop speeding on I-75, especially near state lines. I also started taking I-95 to avoid being in Georgia for so long. Keep it over 80mph through Atlanta though unless you want to get run off…

At what point would it be more accurate to describe the timeline as impossible or a flat-out lie rather than insane or overly optimistic?

Agreed, that’s not a zipper merge, that’s asshole behavior. Similarly, using an exit only lane all the way until the end and then cutting back into traffic.

Ah, now I see why the zipper merge doesn’t work. No one knows how it works, including you. In this case, 2 lanes down to 1 in a construction zone, in free flowing traffic you should be able to merge over and not slow down. However if the continuing lane is stopped, both lanes should fill to the merge point (where the…

lol at the one complaining when people zipper merge. Sorry Spaz, you’re in the wrong there.

And that’s how people with insane amounts of money never seem to get enough. You’re telling me that in month 3 with $200+ million stashed that you wouldn’t think about stopping there? For me, goal #1 is to quit working.

Yeah, I also didn’t factor in the tax bill too which would undoubtedly suck. So I would probably put in a full 40 hour week, but I will be honest, it would be tough to be all that productive by about Thursday after lunch.

On my first day earning $6500/minute, I would get to work at 8am and retire by noon, I wouldn’t even have to take a lunch. $1.56 million is a withdrawal rate of $46,800 at a super conservative 3%.

Also here at 1:04 in case it doesn’t start there.

There was no greater joy than being 16 in your first car late at night and turn onto a straight dirt road in bumble North Florida and just punch it to see how many racoons, possum, and armadillos could get out of the way in time...

Thanks for beating the odds and keeping to the right. Too many with your mindset on traffic enforcement don’t share the same courtesy.

lol, you cite personal responsibility and then want automated law enforcement How about this for personal responsibility. I am going to speed. If I cause a traffic crash, I will take responsibility for it. Until then, my speeding has caused no harm by which preventative punishment should be justifiable.
