Man, at least for test driving, I just use a fake name, Sideline number, and some dingle-dongle nobody gmail address until I find a deal I’m interested in.
In my area there’s this ONE WEIRD LAW that’s making drivers FURIOUS.
How does this match up with demand, though? This seems less of a “Car Collecting” data set and more of a “Classic Car Supply” data set. There might be a correlation between the two, for sure, but I’d be worried if I were a Corvette/Mustang/Camaro owner looking to sell, and then to see this Hemmings report that show…
I’m wondering if it’s because of the familial relationship and possible knowledge of said camera installation/operation by the spouse (versus a claim by a tenant or stranger who didn’t know they were being recorded). Don’t know if that is a clear detail in this case.
Sure, but I would at least be able to discern some kind of engine note, even with a whistling turbo. I didn’t hear either.
Fuck. I’m never going back to Kona now.
“Hello, sir. This is Dave from Porsche North America [or insert regional HQ here]. Time to renew your annual Porsche Illuminati membership. This year’s annual dues come in the form of a new vehicle purchase and Instagram/YouTube post quota agreement. Let’s chat over lunch!”
Also seen in the NFL shop: “The Patriots. Their My Team!”
I like this as well.
Yes. But at least with those older cars, the electronics are oftentimes very simple to maintain, repair, or replace.
Millennial here. I’m in 100% agreement.
[Y]ou don’t need a driver’s license to buy and drive a car. All you need is a car, a set of keys, and a tank of gas.
Well, that’ll certainly be an impatience-laden trip to the DMV every couple of years, but think about it: people who can’t handle the stress of a DMV trip every 24 months could handle the day-to-day task of piloting a 2-ton motor vehicle traveling upwards of 70 miles an hour?
I would even say this is waiting too long. Given that licenses are available (in my state, anyway) at 16, that would give drivers 34 years to instill unsupervised and unchecked behaviors and habits that they pick up from other drivers around them.
Sure, that’s certainly a reasonable deterrent as well. My best guess is that producing better driving culture is somewhere in the middle between enforcement and education.
Let’s split the difference and say “drastically reduce” and that’ll be good enough for me.
What state, if you don’t mind me prying?
I believe something like this would have never happened if LESS people that took their driving not so seriously had licenses. More frequent visits to a slow, bureaucratic DMV could be just the trick.
