Literally every car from the Mad Max franchise. I want a V8 Interceptor. Or a car that’s three or four other cars smooshed together.

If I can’t get a Suzuki Jimny, what even was the point of destroying the American experiment?

You’re staring with a faulty assumption, though: That if the suspect escapes the initial stop, they automatically escape punishment. Radios exist. I’m told that a couple of cops even have brains that they could use to “detect” things and make cases. Most criminals really aren’t that smart and will get caught…

With GPS trackers and magnets so inexpensive, why are police chases even a thing?  Tag the car with a few trackers and move in on them later when there’s no chance of a chase.  It’s not even a new idea, Batman has been doing it for decades.

God I’d love for Rivian to succeed and deliver me an R2 or an R3, but it’s getting really hard to believe they can execute.

Rivian.

Please stop publishing headlines suggesting a company “loses” money on every sale. In addition to being a gross oversimplification of how R&D spending and actual manufacturing costs work, it’s just wrong on its face.

Probably b/c you spouted off about something that’s not in the article & happens to blame the victim. At least, that’s why *I* think you’re a pro-establishment dick.

No lights, no siren, no special privileges.

That’s not what happened though. The article here is exceedingly light on details, but the original article cited at the top explains that the crash happened in front of Columbia River Fire & Rescue’s Rainier station, as the ambulance was returning from a trip. The ambulance driver turned right into the station and…

I know this is a bit of snark, but I don’t think people value their health, range of motion, etc. enough. This guy is in his 70's, out cycling. He’s probably put a lot into his life staying healthy, making good choices, so that he could feel good in his old age and do the things he loves. And then someone careless and…

Cleveland does get a proper winter. I’m surprised that road salt hasn’t already done this job naturally. Do they actually maintain their roads there? Here in MA, there aren’t many takeovers because the roads are just paid over horse paths from colonial times, and the roads that are big enough are like the surface of…

Yup! I’d read about the Ford 400 series engines and think, well if a 428 is bigger than a 427, and a 429 is bigger than both,that has to be the most powerful, right? Meanwhile the reality is, a stock 89 5.0 has 225 HP to this 6.6 liter’s 179. As for the rest, I can only assume this was a custom order, cause on its…

Considering you can buy an actual car with airbags and other features for not much more, no way. Wouldn’t be caught dead in this thing. Say hello to 14 mpg. 

NP. Anyone else miss those silly Joe Isuzu commercials?

Can you go to Thailand without coming back with drugs in your system?  I assume it’s in most of the food and water supply at this point.

Also, fun with numbers: 280K miles at 16mpg means that 17,500 gallons of dinosaur juice have gone through this thing. At $3/gallon that’s $52,500. Not crazy unreasonable ($2000/year), but it’s impressive in aggregate. 

ND put the money towards an electric bike.

Right. I just spent dang near $50K on a VW Golf. It’s not a “people’s car.”

The 05 Phaeton W12 had an MSRP just south of 100 grand. The Arteon is 45-50k depending on spec. VW hasn’t limited themselves to budget cars in a long time. And frankly no VW is a “people’s car” anymore - the demand constant thorough maintenance beyond what most Japanese cars require, they eat oil like it’s canapes at…
