I’m going to have to agree with the assessment that it was not designed to be a method of transport, but to be a residence, and have the ability of  transport. Whereas I would say even docked yachts are designed to transport first and the residence part second.

Not to complicate matters, but there technically isn’t a huge difference between leasing and buying. As long as the interest rates are the same and the purchase price on the lease and the sale are the same on the same car, the difference is quite small. I have leased multiple cars and I purchased one at the end of my…

I actually picked one of these up before the weekend for this price. It’s a great little linux box. I wanted to get a Raspberry Pi for a project, but those are insanely overpriced and hard to find right now. The Raspberri Pi 400 computer is 70$ and needs a screen and mouse. This is everything together for lik 40$ more…

Oh I agree that him making changes probably doesn’t make alot of difference or sense. After events like this, humans often take reactionary changes that don’t make much sense at all. I’m just saying statistically, his odds of hitting a deer if he doesn’t change anything going forward (behavioral or equipment…

Right, but that’s my point. If we were to take Jason’s full lifetime into account once it has happened, and try to analyze the probability we could condense the probabilities like you are doing. But you can’t predict future probabilities.

Actually I’m not sure if this works out. You could say that having hit a deer, he’s likely to live and drive in an environment with deer, and travel in hours of the day that deer are active, as opposed to someone who does not and won’t ever hit a deer. Second you can not use that logic to predict the future, Bayesian…

Oh I agree that flying is statistically much safer. I also think that the processes and Boeing itself used to be a gold standard. Now they don’t even test the software fully on their starliner, etc. So I hope this isn’t what the future holds. 

You mean like the MCAS software on the 737 max? Guess that’s what happens when you build Boeings like Fords lol.

Yeah, That makes waaay more sense now that you filled in details. BTW I love the service at my Audi Dealer... I’ve gone from VW GTI -> A3 ->SQ5 and finally to the Macan. While the Macan drives amazingly, I find myself not liking the service department of the Porsche dealer. So I’m now ordering a Q5e to replace the old…

There’s your problem… not getting a new 4Runner lol. You obviously know how long those go for :)

I’m glad that no one was injured in this case and there was only material damage, which while costly, can always be replaced. I’m glad the circumstances yielded what can honestly be one of the best results from this problem. I do think that vehicle collision safety on new cars is underrated on automotive sites…

The tail lights remind me of an inverted Sonata.

Maybe this is the old top gear fan in me, but this makes me imagine how fun it would be to watch a cross continental rally for EVs... in say South America or Africa. It would be amusing for viewers (not the drivers) to see what kind of crazy things you would have to do to make it across and keep charging the cars. 

OMG I hate the giant rim trend. I always get the smallest rim possible on my cars. Dealers often  wonder why I insist on the smallest (cheap) rims on any car I order, while optioning out everything else lol. I had 5 tires replaces on my GTI, but none on my later cars after I learned.

It took 41 years for anti-lock brakes to be required by law. Anti-lock brakes were on the 1971 Chrysler Imperial... and the law requiring them in new cars with ESC went into effect 2012.

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” -Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park

1. Larger rim packages - Makes the tires more expensive, ride less comfortable and does nothing usually for performance of the car.

Probably the only  type of system that could have even made a difference at all. It’s a niche market, but pretty cool.

I mean you have to start somewhere. I would hazard a guess that occasional hard braking wouldn’t affect your score much, but if you have to hard brake all the time for cyclists etc... maybe you’re doing something wrong?

That road is in way too good condition for Michigan... Someone could just put a bunch of pot holes in it and it would slow people down lol... and no one would be the wiser.... Roads in Michigan are crap anyways.
