Most likely!

What will be the cost of installing this system in ~250 million vehicles? Let’s say it cost $38 per car, then it would cost $9.5 billion to fit it to all vehicles that might have kids in the back, and then $650 million extra per annum. To save 38 lives per year. Meanwhile, 45,000 people are killed by guns every year…

Neutral: I had COVID right after Christmas, and I have had like forty nosebleeds this year. I have had nosebleed like five times in my entire life before, and three of those occasions were because someone punched me. And no, I did not self medicate with Colombian Marching Powder. Viruses have peculiar and lasting side…

48 gallons... holy shit, that’s like almost five hats’ worth.

From Europe, used to travelling by train as it is frequently the best option. My expectations were pretty low and I was looking forward to adventure/stories, but it was exponentially worse than I could have imagined.

It’s just a Mitsubishi Diamante coupe with all the bells and whistles. Hence the engine layout and so on.

Those a-pillar gauges are an enormous red flag for me. Bob is correct in comparing it to the BMW 850i. Heavy, complex, and (IMHO) lackluster looks.

Me and a friend drove a ‘94 Jeep Wrangler soft top with the anemic four-cylinder engine from NYC to LA. Packed to the roof with my possessions. I can attest to this being one of the worst road trip vehicles ever, but it was still a great trip (including tornado somewhere in the midwest, lost my CD case and some other…

I haven’t been here often enough as of late to say I am going to miss you, but hopefully we will be able to follow your adventures elsewhere (please write more about the DMVs making JDM cars/fun illegal). Much love.

I have a kei car in NYC and I cannot recommend it strongly enough, assuming you live somewhere that won’t hassle you for trying to register it. Insurance has never been an issue; I had Geico and switched to Progressive and no problems beyond the initial confusion of a 9-digit chassis number.

One you love and treasure. Especially if it’s the least bit unusual or small, because then it will get vandalized too. Sorry, a bit bitter today because some typical teenagers have jumped on the roof of my 1993 Honda Today Associe and I just got an estimate from the bodyshop.

Is this a standard fire fighting joke or did you have a moment of brilliance? Thumbs up.

I assure you, everyone you meet on those shore visits loathe you and their only goal is to extract as many dollars as possible from you as quickly as possible with as little effort as possible. Depending on the setup, they probably paid the cruise line for the chance to sell crap to you - so they have to earn that…

Well, hopefully those three police would have to worry about things like shooting innocent bystanders, which might limit their killing ability. And, please don’t take that as an argument in favor of killing bystanders (looking at you, Republicans).

The discussion was on the Bronco Raptor. I am unsure on what work a Raptor would be putting in, aside from being wrapped around a dude wearing Oakleys.

This feels so very obvious now that I hear it... it’s like when they invented double-ply toilet paper.

And they don’t care about consequences, mainly because they almost never encounter them.

Pardon the NYC/Queens/Long Island perspective, but an LIRR ticket plus a MetroCard (commuter rail plus subway) starts at about $400. Of course, I can read a book while I am travelling.

Which raises the question of why someone needs to commute in a 400hp brick.
