2003 SVT Focus in Sonic Blue, in 2004. I wanted an SRT-4 Neon, especially since the 2004 ones had the stage 1 upgrade and LSD stock (about 30hp boost), OR the RSX-S... Was a Junior in college.

How about both?  

And it’s hideous.  I had an 84 Grand Woody - loved it till the thing blew up.  I’d consider buying a modern one, especially PHEV - if it wasn’t hideous.  It looks like a Chinese suburban knockoff - like they had the idea, but not a real design, and slapped it together (same for the current gen Grand Cherokee).  

IIRC it’s contracted for 4, but they haven’t accomplished one yet - and will almost certainly have to do another free test flight.  At a certain point it’s throwing good money after bad.  

Boeing was designing from scratch; SpaceX was designing from Cargo Dragon (which they already got paid for).  Arguably it’s somewhere mostly close in actual payment for development, but we got 2 good SpaceX ships out of it, and one...  Boeing.  

Firearm is somewhat different from an automobile, and modifications are different from factory stock (very few firearms come with a silencer stock).  Different regulatory groups as well.  

If you don’t want any form of customization on it, why bother?  I mean wraps being illegal?  Come on.  

It does meet noise standards.  It’s stock; it had to meet noise standards.  You complain to USDOT, not to the owner.  

So you just want everyone to drive a Camry.

I looked for those and the Civics - I paid the same for the V6 Camry as I would have for a used Civic!  I’ll take the bigger car given how much I end up driving and living in it for work.  

Yup.  V6 XSE with 39k on it, almost perfect condition minus some cosmetic scratches outside.  I...  kinda really like it.  

I ended up with the Camry, if anyone cares :p

There is no evidence that the driver in this case did not attempt to stop. Being unable to stop, physics is what it is, is what matters.

ROFL.  All of that sounds insanely dangerous, outside of 5 and maybe 3 (which already exists, just silently on the back end).  Bah.  

Endangerment of a “self driving car” having a pilot not paying attention (and thus being negligent) is very different than someone stepping off of a curb with a driver who was fully engaged.  People doing dumb things get hit all the time - it depends on the situation if the driver gets charged with anything or not (or…

Covid and a massive fire, that’s why.

WTF does a car need ChatGPT?  

One less now. Doesn’t matter if the truck hits you or you hit the truck -don’t step out in front of vehicles that can’t stop that fast.

Generally no - there are traffic regulations for a reason, and you can’t fault someone who didn’t see a pedestrian where a pedestrian was not supposed to be.  No way to stop a multi-ton vehicle when someone suddenly steps out in front of you, after all.  

That also changes once you’re on plane, since at that point you CAN’T give way (or change direction, or much of anything till you’re in the air).  It doesn’t have brakes, after all.
