Most of those residential street laws only apply to commercial trucks.

I mean, how could Toyota not sell these things today?

This Gen-X’er is old enough to have been a licensed driver when these things were introduced, and test drove a brand new one. It wasn’t just BAD, it was hilariously terrible. The seat rails were already covered in surface rust in a brand new car. The seat adjuster came off in my hand. The hood popped open on the test…

Counter-counterpoint. Every car line has better and worse examples. You got a better example to review. Most of the examples were worse. This was, after all, a badge-engineered ancient-at-the-time Fiat built by workers who honestly didn’t give a crap.

And you apparently don’t understand math, or are too interested in attention-seeking knee-jerk hot-takes to care. Ten fatalities in a year is in the noise margin compared to fatalities caused by human error. It could almost be taken as evidence that we should immediately put autopilot in all cars. BTW, being an angry…

1st gear: Wow, ten whole fatalities, eh? And, um, how many humans caused auto fatalities this year - hell, just today? I’m no Tesla fanboy, but this particular issue is blown out of proportion. Teslas may have roofs and bumpers that come off in the rain, and I’m not buying a car with a friggin’ yoke instead of a…

The question was for the worst badgineering.  The 9-2x was awesome.

F355 Challenge was an amazing simcade title for the time with handling based on data hacked from a real Ferrari F355 Challenge race car.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer was incredible as well.

TXR2 especially is a wonderful game — absolutely gorgeous car models and customization, brilliant music, the perfect Shutokou-cruising vibes. I miss that series dearly.

Never thought I would see anyone mentioning freaking Trickstyle in the wild. I was super hyped for that when I got my Dreamcast...

Test Drive Le Mans was so awesome. The actual progression of time and the ability to save when you pitted. Made for a great game. 

Chicken of the Seas is a very very small boat.

Everything is “of the Seas,” preceded by a seemingly random noun that sounds Nice. Yeah, I don’t get it either.

Okey Johnny Silverhand.

“Frivolous lawsuits” do effect us all. Every class-action suit that’s just a money grab (not an actual ‘fix something bad’ one) sucks money from the economy to the lawyers, adds more layers of crap to selling anything (“ok, how many more pages of disclaimers & warnings do we need to add to everything now”), provides…

I was at the Imperial Palace (RIP because it was cheap) for Y2K and outside on the strip for midnight, I don’t remember things being deserted. It was quite crazy, on that part of the strip at least.

hey!

I’ve never driven through Nebraska, but I have driven to Nebraska. I-80 across Iowa is mind numbing enough. The occasional stench of pig farms is the only thing keeping you awake.
