It’s a bill, not a law. It will be amended and modified a million ways, if it ever even makes it to the floor. The politicians will make sure there is away for them to defeat the limits, in the interest of “serving the public good”. And I see that the speed limit in California is quite a bit higher than here on Long…

You’re assuming there won’t be exceptions on this nanny tech for politicians, who will claim they need to speed to make it to important votes and fundraisers ^H^H^H^H meetings, etc.

“If cars had no choice but to obey speed limits, the artificially low limits you see would go away” You have an awful lot of faith in the diligence and responsiveness of our governments to changing conditions, don’t you?

“There isn’t any reason why you should need to exceed the posted limit on any public road.” Bullshit. There are significant portions of the country where the speed limits are ridiculously low, at least on the limited-access highways. Like all of Nassau and Suffolk County, NY, for instance (55 mph). I’m sure there are…

Also “Hot For Teacher”, at least the guitar work and the drum intro.

Joe Dirt won’t be able to afford a Monte that clean unless he gets someone to buy that “meteorite” off him...

Heh, “little”...

Le Mans is a city. This sure looks like a city car to me. Now, if they had called it the La Sarthe... ;-) 

Is this even controversial? Of course they do. And Tesla is hardly the only company that’s ever bought and inspected a competitor’s product. Just what is your point here?

Blimpie doesn’t seem to have these problems, and they slice all their meat fresh. Of course, it could be because Blimpie uses real deli meat, rather than how they slice it.

What gumball-ish looking tires. (By today’s standards, I mean, where grocery getters have 40s on them...)

Sure. But I don’t see how it’s Amtrak’s fault that other parts of the country don’t meet that criterion. I don’t think it’s “Amtrak doesn’t have a good track record of running railroads profitably,” so much as “America isn’t really laid out for economically viable rail transit”.

“conventional explosives, but that uses Acura RDXs”

“I’d be far more concerned about tire wear than fuel economy at these speeds” - so is Bugatti. IIRC, the limit is 261 because Michelin wouldn’t certify the tires for any higher.

“more concerned with lap times than gallons of gasoline burned per 100 miles” - well probably, since most people would either be concerned with miles per gallon, or with liters per 100 km.

I used to get a kick out of driving my dad’s Geo Metro. 53 hp IIRC, but it felt like it was suspended on rubber bands, in a fun way, and a very direct-coupled mechanical experience. (Not the actual car but very similar.)

It wasn’t a new window in a new plane that failed out of the blue. The plane had been in service for a number of years. Things break.
