I envy you your innocence regarding what the average person knows about how a car works. Over the past few years, I have discovered that most people know nothing. Like, literally nothing. It is a complete black box to them. Do they have any concept of air, fuel, spark? Nope. Therefore, they have no starting point to…

Surprisingly refreshing to see a motorist recognizing a problem and responding to it calmly and rationally.

An inexperienced first officer inadvertently pushed the Boeing 737 Max 8’s control column forward

Dude, it’s not that can’t elaborate - it’s that he doesn’t fucking need to.

I believe Mr. Bellwood is from the UK, where “rammed” is often used to mean packed or crowded.

The entire purpose of a bicycle is that it’s something you use because you can’t afford a car.

While I appreciate your learned legal opinion, whether or not you think anyone should be charged is immaterial, and whether or not prosecutors are busy is completely beside the point.

I guess if the gold plating faithfully mimics the base material, I suppose there’s no way to get a perfectly even finish, but it kind of ruins the effect for me.

Smith didn’t blame his reckless driving on some mysterious invisible hand controlling his accelerator

Yeah, that’s what I was wondering. It doesn’t seem fair to blame buyers without looking into what it might cost them to get a more interesting colour. I’m certainly not destitute, but colour would probably be the last thing I would consider spending extra money on when buying a car.

If only I had dated Subaru and not that girl I met on Tinder.

Also, we have brake lights and turn signals to indicate what we are doing to other drivers, why not an accelerator light?

Public transit could have fixed all of these problems.

government subsidization or taxation

Has anyone done research into what we might expect in terms of availability and price of gasoline in the next 30 years or so? (Full disclosure: I’m sure someone has, but I can’t be arsed to go looking for it myself right now.) That is, if someone buys a nice ICE car in the next few years, can they expect to have to…
