with any luck (and with lots of fuel)

My Autozam. Nothing could make me sell this car. I take it everywhere. It was everything that I wanted it to be and I’ll never part with it.

our mutual hostage situation

Ol’ Blue will be 50 years old next year. Lots of stuff to do with her, but my goal is just to drive her coast to coast and see America in my 1970 Datsun time machine. 

15 years with me, and 28 years with my father before that. This one is definitely my forever car.

1978 Mercury Grand Marquis. My grandfather bought it new in 1978, came into my possession after my grandmother passed away. 50,000 original miles. I suppose to the rest of the world the only desirable thing is that it’s a 2 door with the 460, but I grew up marveling at the sheer size of thing, just absolutely

I bought it brand new in 2006, it’s a manual and it’s dead stock, It’ll probably retire from daily duties in the next year or two, but its been a fantastic car and i’d like to keep it forever if i can swing it.

1994 Dodge Stealth r/t twin turbo. Have owned it since 2004. Very not stock. Can I please get out of the greys now?!

My 04 mazdaspeed Miata is more than likely my forever car. I’ve had 4 other Miata’s, and 31 other random cars in the last 15 years or so, but this one gets me! Only 44k miles too :) unless someone local made me a silly offer I didn’t have time to think about, I don’t think I’d sell it. I even told a guy NOT to buy his

I don’t buy anything I don’t intend to keep forever. I grew up with Saabs, and I’ll never get rid of my 900.

I’ve posted it before but it never gets old to me...

I’ve never considered myself as having a ‘forever’ car but Elise and I are close to 11 years into our mutual hostage situation. I’ve rebuild...all of it. I should probably just accept that it’s a forever car.

90 is only talking 5mph over the highest speed limit.

I agree with your attitude here, but this “solution” won’t do a damned thing to help here. That asshole (And I agree with you fully here: Fuck that guy, city streets are 100% not the place to speed, ever) will just buy a car that doesn’t enforce the limit on them. That’s a job of the police, not a manufacturer. As you

No, the difference is two people traveling within 2 mph of one another are less likely to wreck, period. No wreck, no injury from non-wreck.

If they really want to reduce fatalities to zero, they shouldn’t be making cars at all... mass transit has far fewer fatalities. So, this is a red herring.

There are a host of questions that come up with the idea of enforcing speed limits through software.

Now the separate Polestar branding makes sense ;)

I don’t understand why automakers stick so much horsepower in family vehicles. Well, I do know; horsepower sells. Although the reality is that the vast majority of drivers, excepting assholes, are lucky if they use 80hp.
