Hey, you sort of spotted the joke! It was half being-obtuse-because-it-was-funny and half OP’s-position-is-an-oversimplified-idiocy-and-I’m-giving-him-a-chance-to-retreat

If I were president, I’d call for a legal race across America on the Sunday nearest Summer Solstice, with rolling shutdowns of the interstate system. I’d call it “Sea to Shining Sea” with a sunrise start and possibly a sunset finish (20 hours?). Nor sure what kind of race cars that could pull that off, probably Lemans…

100%. Unreasonable laws deserve no respect.

“Please let’s not glorify people who break the law and give car enthusiasts a bad name.”

That’s highly inaccurate for most people. I have a PHEV that I charge every night and am virtually all electric until it is time for a road trip. Charging a normal day’s worth (for me 20-30 miles) of driving every night has hardly even made a noticeable difference in my electric bill.

Convertibles cater to a demographic that prioritizes fun, or at least the illusion of fun.

No one was clamoring for a slightly successor to the Sebring.

3rd: I think this is a problem that a lot of non-rustbelt Americans have with the UAW. Getting good wages, healthcare, and retirement benefits are something that most people will get behind. When you try to dictate the direction of a company, that’s a little too far. Companies need to be able to meet the needs of the…

How about just renting a hotel room?

You’re missing one important tip for avoiding Airbnb scams - stay in a damned hotel. They’ve been doing this for years and tend to exist.

Ugh, no thanks. I daily an 80's sports coupe with none of those features, and it’s great.

Well, maybe in the near future, 3D printing may solve some of those problems of old, brittle plastic.

There is also the salvage yard for used parts. They just have to be relatively easy to replace. The heater controls on my Focus can be replaced by removing a trim panel and a few bolts. My brothers Audi, not nearly so easy. Simplicity is something automakers should be striving for as well, instead of more complex and…

China and eBay. I had an old e39 BMW that wasn't in production for at least 16 years, but Amazon and eBay are flooded with replacement products. Sure, not as high quality as the BMW original part, but the car is worth pennies on the dollar from its original price. And occasionally mechanical bits and electronics are…

old interior

boosting the longevity of interior parts by 50% requires an investment in new material composition and design

Kinja is fucking up hard but GNX would be posted here.

1st: Fucking with California plays well to Trump’s base; eventually this will end up in the Supreme Court as a constitutional, interstate commerce regulation case.
