A perfect example of the free country the USA is. It’s so free that all that keeps anyone out of jail or prison is the lack of willingness of someone with the power to put him there.

There are two interesting things about this. The first is that this woman and her husband were obviously rather confident that the…

You missed something. It has a proper transmission instead of the things boring cars get today.

The idea is that by then management has found a way to enforce Joan Claybrook’s vision. 55mph top speed and 0-55 in no less than 15 seconds.

It’s still relying on government to create market distortions in their favor.

The problem with a sample size of one is that a conclusion from it is often only a projection of your own biases. If you had well been more than lazy it would have been evident to you that I respond to most everyone who replies to me regardless of thread. The ratio here was about average for me. Nothing special at…

Touch screens suck. They suck in everything. They suck most in cars. Touch screens require concentration to use. Concentration should be on driving.

You’re the one who in his anal retentiveness took offense. You’re the one so riled up he has to keep insisting that he is correct by citing figures only a rail geek would know in an automotive forum. Projection gives you away.

Keep on projecting. Not everyone is an anal retentive rail geek like you. BTW calculate the difference between: 3′ 1½″and 2′ 11½”. (those are your figures in case you don’t recognize them) You’ll find it’s a few inches, actually only a couple.

You’re the who’s riled up with Barney Fife like details and making remarks like ‘try it with your face’. You’re the one showing a combination of anal retentiveness and aggressive rudeness. Now you add projection to it. I simply used your own terms to make a colorful reply. But why don’t you do a little math on you…

Let me tell you a story. In chicago there is this thing called ‘the L’. It’s an elevated transit train line. One day I am walking through a parking lot next to the ‘L’. Suddenly this unoccupied car starts rolling towards one of the support pillars. So I picked up my pace and grabbed hold of it and slowed it down so it…

Oh my Mr. regulator I am not including your regulatory buffer zone! Look at that neighborhood. Do you think a fuck is given about your regulations there? Thankfully in much of the world people still ridicule meddling safety ‘Cupid stunts’ like you like you deserve to be.

If it were a few feet it would have been much more severe. This was a mere sideswipe.

Obviously so by the fact that it happened and there is video of it. I suppose someone might take video of trains in this location for the sake of doing so but that seems unlikely.

Yes, I was pretty sure what the language is, I still don’t know how to read it or speak it. But thanks for being an asshole for the sake of it.

depends on the situation. A commerical vehicle outside some sort of business is got a pretty good chance of the guy being inside that business. The sign and the words on the truck probably offer more clues but they are in a language I don’t know.

No shit. But that doesn’t tell someone he’s a few inches too close to the track.

Ahh modern life, instead of telling the guy he’s parked it too close to the tracks, just start recording video and wait.

What vast conspiracy? It has always been difficult to manage rural populations. Urban populations are much easier in that regard. As a result decisions are made that will make rural life increasingly difficult. It’s just the way it is, always has been, and the way it needs to be for a technocratic future.
