I’m OK with being called an idiot. I was an idiot. I’m also nearly 11 years sober, which doesn’t invalidate my misdeeds but at least shows that I did, in fact, address my alcoholism.

I am, to my shame, a 2-time loser. And as such, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that no system exists outside of full automation that can keep drunks from driving while also not screwing over normal, rational drivers at the same time.

the cybertruck absolutely will not start below 40k.   they announced that price back before they jacked the price of the model 3 by 8k.   you know that one isnt staying that low for production. 

Brundle has a good reason for chatting with people on the grid. What was Megan doing there, just being famous? The “DON’T MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE TALENT” attitude from her clueless bodyguard seems like a good justification for banning entourages from the grid.

I was thinking Dishonored and Bloodborne myself

Kathy Griffin lost her job, underwent several months of investigation by the Justice Department, and was put on a No Fly List.

“And then he smells crime again, he’s out busting heads. Then he’s back to the lab for some more full penetration. Smells crime. Back to the lab, full penetration. Crime. Penetration. Crime. Full penetration. Crime. Penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just...…

This is why there’s still no viable competitor to Tesla yet 

10/10 would rather listen to a Charger/Camaro/Mustang with a magnaflow or a German straight 6 with an acropovic exhaust then a whiny 4 Cyl CVT crossover wheezing by. In either case, a vehicle driving by is an inconvenience for 15 seconds at a time at most.

I must be missing something. What exactly is different about this than a window switch without an auto down/auto up feature? My Hyundai Elantra doesn’t have automatic windows, so I just push “down” and then let go when the window is where I want it, and it stops moving. Is that... all this is...?

The sales and install side is the important factor here. Stop the sale of loud cars and stop the install of equipment that makes them loud and that cuts down on a huge part of the problem. Regulators will be looking more at aftermarket installers than end-users, likely.

I live here in Austin. I went to the first race and enjoyed it but the TV coverage is a million times better to watch than actually being there IMO. I would never go through the hell you just described to watch a race in person.

This also isn’t the first time this kind of data has been totally misleading or even downright false. A Tesla Model 3 gets about 4 miles per kWh on the highway. Superchargers, the most expensive way to recharge a Tesla, cost about $0.26 per kWh. So driving 100 miles would cost $6.50. At current gas prices of $3.40 per…

3rd gear: She sits on the board of a Lidar company. Kind of relevant.

I say this as someone who likes driving fast, who owns fast cars, and who is generally skeptical of adding more bureaucracy to our lives:

Correct, the only way this is possible is if the car’s brakes cannot lock up the wheels, or overheat before brining the car to a stop even at instance one panic stop. Both implications are _horrifying_.

Interesting, I’m not an expert but my understanding is that generally, your stopping distance is limited by your tyres. If you can lock up the wheels then you have enough braking force and the rest is about being able to do it repeatedly without overheating. Being able to accelerate faster than it can stop implies the…

Dat mini-drift doe. Perhaps it saw the bystanders to the left and felt that was the appropriate course of action.

Dammit ya beat me lol

The amount of BS coming out of so many of your butts is rather impressive, including the author. What Jim is saying is he wants an improved BOP - which includes ALLOWING him to make his car faster. The car is capable of 800+ HP, but he’s limited by ACO to current power levels.
