Do you think I haven’t heard this sermon before? For fuck’s sake.

You don’t want motoring to be a government granted privilege. The more people who become convinced it is the more we become effective teenagers asking government parents to use the car.

And to think this all started with a humble space balls pun.... BTW Galaxie is the Ford.

I use ‘dead cat’, because I like dogs and dead because a living cat would have better reaction times.

Any how in Chicago I find they are following various mis-teachings. These come down from the know-nothing but want to run your life busy bodies. The same people who will dictate how robot cars will behave.

If the…

I wrote automation is not _EASY_ and the _MACHINES_ are dumb.

Automation isn’t that easy and machines are dumb. Very dumb and very blind. For a machine to do it we’ll first need all the expensive features to make driving in the snow easier. Then we’ll need spotless maintenance and quality tires. Then maybe, just maybe it has a chance. The real world use is going to be amusing…

Many businesses and entire industries want to make things difficult for serious and informed customers and instead rely on the out sized profits they can get from the uninformed or those they can manipulate.

A place that lays everything out, all the information I want is likely to get my business if their price is…

The robot cars are going to amusing on snow and ice. That is if they don’t simply error out and refuse to function for occupant safety.

I get that you’re being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. But if you had learned something about driving 1960s-70s RWD cars then you should be able to see every elementary error these dipshits made in their driving along with their total and complete inability to recover. That is what makes it evident they…

Because dumbshits who never drove RWD before go buy a Mustang and drive stupid is evidence of nothing. The fact you think it is speaks volumes of your inexperience.

I know about the asinine meme. I simply ignored it.

A modern Mustang is calm and easy to drive compared to something 40 or 50 years old in the same class with far less power. Four wheel drum brakes can make the ordinary exciting all by themselves.

I think the prices will come down as the boomers get into their 80s and older. But here’s the thing, part of allure of these cars is that they are difficult to drive and can kill you. Not be a 400hp transportation appliance. 

“Welcome to the shithole time we live in where you can’t get a moment’s peace.”

If I were in school today I would stand for the pledge and give the original salute.

The loans themselves created the college price bubble. The more people were able to pay through borrowing the more the prices increases. The more government subsidizes the more administrators and new buildings schools add and the problem goes right back to where it started.

This is what people deserve for believing that using a common conveyance on the public way for personal transportation is a government granted _privilege_. This is how privileges work. They are granted under conditions from the grantor. The grantor can set whatever arbitrary conditions it wants to set. That’s just how…

Ford has been harassing me about it for weeks now via fb. I’ll get to it when I have some time off. My guess is they tracked me down because I belong to a group for my oldest Ford and posted a photo of it next to my newest Ford, the one with the recall plus obviously an ownership list and location data.

Something like the carrington event will eventually happen. However the US federal government for decades has been more interested in an interventionist foreign policy and creating new enemies to fight. Squandering the money on military adventures and regime changes.

Yes, it is about profiting when Uber is all that is left standing however losses of this magnitude would not be tolerated in a normal interest rate environment. In a normal interest rate environment they would have never had funding of this magnitude in the first place.
