Oooh, you may be on to something with the F-Zero reference. Electrified track barriers that suck some of the battery life down if you touch them. Touch too many times and you don’t have enough juice to make it to the end.

I tried watching a race one time and I kept thinking it sounded like an RC car race. It was really off-putting.

Ok, I can sit back and chuckle at a majority of your “arguments,” but you’re going to have to provide some sort of legitimate stats and facts to back up this claim.

I understand that. I just like to point out funny modern correlations that sound very similar to firearm ownership to people that cling to some vague wording from 1787 (not necessarily you, just in general.) What’s funny to me is that most “2A warriors” couldn’t name more than the first and second amendments without…

The state does restrict the type of vehicle I can drive. I can’t drive a Formula 1 car around town. My vehicle has to pass safety, sound and emissions standards which severely limit its performance. If I drive a vehicle over a certain weight or length, I have to have a special license. Same thing if I want to drive a…

My scenario is not akin to shooting someone over a dispute. I said me driving however I want doesn’t hurt or kill anyone. I’m a responsible driver. It’s not my fault, as a responsible driver, that other people crash and kill people. I shouldn’t be restricted, as a responsible driver, because of other people’s actions…

I didn’t kill anyone in my scenario either. I can drive fast without killing anyone.

So you’re saying the Constitution didn’t predict technology would progress to the point that nearly every adult citizen would have access to a machine that, if used maliciously, can cause mass casualties within seconds? It’s almost like that whole ratification process was put in place to alter the Constitution and…

Why can’t I drive the maximum speed my vehicle can reach every where I go? Speed limits impose on my liberties. I shouldn’t have to pull over for emergency vehicles to pass. I shouldn’t have to stop for school buses when the red lights flash. I am in pursuit of my happiness, not theirs. I don’t care if they feel…

Americans cannot stop correlating size with value. Why buy something nice (that’s smaller) when for a little more you can get a base trim of something bigger? When I was shopping mid-size pickups, nobody I talked to could wrap their minds around it. “Why not get a full size?” Because I don’t need a full size. I’m not…

Oooo, I hope that one that was bought back through the Lemon Law is still available!

I hadn’t seen the unedited version in quite some time and I saw it again as an adult and was kind of surprised by some of the references that I never caught as a child. It’s not just racism, but he openly talks about domestic violence, anti gay slurs, etc. Like others have said in this thread, I don’t think it was the…

I remember when this debuted. I thought it was absolutely hideous and it took me quite a few years before it grew on me. I wanted an early 90's Dakota Sport so bad though. My dad and I test drove one once. I was about 13. We had no salesman with us for the ride and my dad pulled over and switched seats with me. I got…

I bought a new (ordered from factory) 328i Coupe in 2007. Hands down the least reliable vehicle I’ve ever had. Was in the shop constantly. Later on got a Cadillac CTS Coupe and never had one issue with it. The only time it was in the shop was when a bug splatted on some sensor screwing up the air/fuel mixture and it…

I tell people to add 10% to the total to get a ballpark of sales tax, title and license fees. So a $30,000 vehicle, add another $3,000. You can see the disappointment in their faces when they are looking at vehicles that are already at their price limit just at MSRP.

Hmm, I did a track day at Laguna Seca and completely cooked my brakes. I just accepted the responsibility (like a dumbass) and paid for the repairs myself. I had no idea I could have sued Mazda, Laguna Seca, County of Monterey, State of California, or any local municipality that had installed stop signs and red lights…

It’s stuff like this video and my own observations riding that have made me decide to hang it up. I still enjoy riding, but I won’t be doing it around traffic anymore. I will probably end up selling my two road bikes and getting a trail bike. I have had that “oh shit” moment when a car pulled out of a driveway in…

Periods, man. Don’t be afraid to use them.

You’re damn right!

There literally is a giant sign in the F&I office that says, “No Cooling Off Period.” They know people are in the “oooh, shiny” mode and aren’t thinking clearly. They lobbied to get legislation passed to not let people clear their heads and not make a bad decision.
