OK, I kind of thought that the interstate highways do connect states. Four or five of them go across the whole country. The ones on O’ahu are questionable though (besides being stupid and kind of ruining the place, which should have had some kind of S-Bahn/U-Bahn kind of thing instead).

Elon’s Hyperthings and Teslas on Skateboards in Magical Tunnels things don’t make any sense in real life. And will never happen. It may seem ridiculous that the steel wheels on steel tracks with coaches hooked together and full of people concept invented two centuries ago and still has all kinds of advantages.

Didn’t former Mayor Pete now Transportation Pete get a downtown South Bend freeway taken down and turned into a boulevard?

I read it. All of it. 

San Francisco had an elevated freeway going N/S then around the northern waterfront, from the days of freeway building and pre-container cargo ships docking there. There was a major push to get rid of it. Conservatives came up with all kinds of reasons to keep it. I myself used it on occasion to zip around to the…

“...interactive ‘Magic Eye’ headlights that open when switched on.”

Seems kinda extra silly to make performance claims for a car that doesn’t exist with technology that doesn’t exist either. Why not 0-60 in one second and 1000 mile range?

Why yes I do. 

Yes, rubber band tires that would require a lot of wheel travel to not have the car feel like it was rolling on rims with no suspension at all. About 2 cm of wheel travel possible. I did like it better when concept cars could actually work, even if they were stupid. 

Ever since Audi broke the ice on the Big Grille concept, they have been getting bigger and bigger with a lot of the area blocked off because most air comes in below anyway. See: BMW X7. Meanwhile electric cars don’t really need much of an air intake. What to do?

Well, that’s definitely what two gun owners look and act like. Weren’t they guests of honor at the Republican Trumpfest?

A Subaru Forester (which I own) isn’t in the smallest size SUV class like say a Buick Encore or Chevy Trax. They are subcompact. A Forester is compact. A BMW X5 is ten inches longer, seven inches wider, and about 1400 pounds heavier. And costs twice as much as my top model Forester with about everything. So not small. …

That’s not really a small one though. But, it is a BMW, so.....

And after repeated trainings and hours at the shooting range police still shoot the wrong person, miss and hit someone else, etc. all the time. Not blaming police - things happen. But then a “good guy” with a fraction of the training and practice....

Car bodies usually hold out against rust ten times more than they once did, but the unseen underneath bits not so much.

I don’t understand the prejudice against safety features. Is it the superior performance in a crash? The airbags that can save you and passengers from death or severe injury including brain injury? Anti-lock brakes that shorten stopping distances? Stability control that can help if you find yourself going around a…

What are the speed limits here? The street the Navigator is on looks like s 25 mph street. The fire truck is on a divided street with grass islands, so probably 35 mph or more. The Navigator was probably going over 25.

There’s room here, unlike in a lot urban locations - how about a roundabout?
