Biden is backing Netanyahu to the hilt while occasionally saying a few empty words about how he “values Palestinian lives”. While vetoing in the Security Council and overriding Congress to send additional weapons to kill more civilians.

Biden’s unlimited support for Israel’s war crimes in Gaza is what is going to cost him the election. Not trying to convince anyone not to support genocide, but I (and a sizable number of other Americans; 80% of Dems at least support a ceasefire) will never ever vote for him or anyone part of his administration; if…

Fluffing serial numbers was always a habit of Italian manufacturers for homologation purposes; here there are probably a host of pre-series and crash test cars to be taken into account. Sometimes there will be batches of unused numbers, as they skip from, say, 23 to 30 if there was a major change.

Those look pretty damned good, I am in full agreement with you. Hadn’t realized that the Tavria has a single wiper! There is something about truly garbage cars, the sheetmetal typically ends up looking like it has been crumpled up and then flattened out again.

A subset of car fans always blames the cyclist, no matter what happened. In this case, they’re both cyclists. 

A friend tried to get in between and save a trans woman who was being (mainly) verbally abused by three men on Christopher Street in NYC (if you know, you know). She broke a bottle of E&J brandy over his head, since she apparently didn’t want to be “rescued.”

I think that, too, sometimes - but I never post it, as I really don’t want to get the idea out there (as if villains aren’t constantly looking for soft targets).

Normally, I’d say the cop was at fault. However, in light of the fact that the victim was driving a Benz GLE Coupé I’m going to say it mightn’t be so simple.

Those are definitely renders, though. No Dana in existence is that straight.

Far eastern Queens, on the Long Island border - lot of single-family houses with driveways here!

Well, all the right-wing trolls will be happy since it is safe to say that a cyclist is to blame.

No, we need to develop desirable places to live that don’t require us to own cars to do every single little thing in our lives.

We had a J-car (Opel Ascona liftback, 1.6 with 90PS) and drove from Sweden to Yugoslavia with three kids and all of our gear - and lived out of a tent for three weeks. We travelled the length and width of Europe in it. One year we also brought our grandparents, but then we only went to Northern Germany and we weren’t…

I don’t think it’s up to you and me. We either do something or deal with the consequences.

I’m hearting this not because I think you are necessarily correct, but because I hope that you will be.

Kei cars were initially developed to provide cheap transportation, peoples’ cars as it were. As such, they enjoy lots of tax breaks, lower insurance, and they were exempt from some other rules such as having proof of parking place ownership (used to be required to register a car). These advantages have been whittled…

I call it Focal Matter.

I was playing some kind of personal finance show on YouTube (Caleb something) and he had a Vegas stripper on - she said she had had high hopes for the F1 weekend but that she wasn’t even able to make up the fees she had to pay the house - she lost money because of F1. What a mess.

That’s clearly a representative sample for statistical purposes. I mean, I will admit that I hate all Fords because of my ‘03 Focus, but that’s mainly down to design choices.

Well, the Japanese governmindustry has been trying to get rid of the kei car category for about thirty years now (including Toyota; Keis hinder sales of more profitable, regular cars); this might be what it takes.
