While my gut is to agree, I can almost guarantee that the societal costs to the rest of us increases because of things like this. Obviously the fatalities have both direct and indirect costs associated with them, but what is left out here is the likely increase in numbers and in severity of injuries. Injuries that…

I sort of agree, but rather than proving you've got insurance before riding dangerously, you should have to prove you're an organ donor.

I have zero sympathy for anyone who’s dumb enough to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. They deserve whatever happens to them.

I’d like to know what types of legal protections are in place for car/truck drivers now that basic protections are being declared optional. Accidents that previously only resulted in injuries are now resulting in deaths on account of motorcycle rider negligence, is that now taken into account when assigning liability…

I’m at a point where I don’t think we should be fighting to keep idiots alive any more.

People that enjoy the new NASCAR with its stages, dont know what racing actually is/was.....

Written like a true millennial who wasn’t even born yet when the racing was “real”. Let’s go back to letting them duke it out in the infield,when you could buy on Monday something remotely similar to the car that won the race on Sunday.

The Bolt did all that 5 years ago.

Ford kept increasing the price of the Lightning by multiple, multiple thousands of dollars every quarter. People were not willing to pay $70,000 for the exact same truck their neighbor paid $40,000 for. Also the winter range was abysmal.  If ford had never changed the price and the cold weather perfomance of the…

Yup. Been saying the same for years. And the fact that one hasn’t come out makes me question the whole thing. The idea of halo cars attracting buyers and interest in EV is stupid and nuts. If GM and Ford and Ram could afford all the development and design costs for six-figure halo EVs then they could surely afford…

Around me it seems like every tesla has to always try and show off how quick they are at the lights but for some reason everytime the get on the highway they don’t use the quiet peddle to merge and instead seem hell bent to cut me off towing a loaded trailer. Add to that every soccer mom/dad in their…

Couldn’t agree with you more on the acceleration. I’m terrified of every soccer mom driving an SUV / CUV that can do 0-60 in 4 seconds while she’s facing the rear seat screaming at Grayson, Jayden, Kayden, and Fayden. We really need to return to a time when purpose built sports cars were the only terrifyingly fast…

Amen brother. I keep telling everyone that the first manufacturer that brings to market a Civic sized car (or CRV sized CUV) that gets 300 miles to a charge and costs $30K or less will have buyers lining up at its doors. People do not need 0-60 times in less than 6 seconds (many of my friends who have electric cars…

I recently stumbled across The Questionable Garage YouTube channel where he bought an electric S10 and is going through the process of bringing it back to life. I love that as a stopgap measure he wired 12v batteries to get the thing to move and it did. Even after decades of sitting the motor booted right up with no…

If she’s an employee at RBR, he has power over her employment, so it is inappropriate regardless of whether it’s consensual or not.

100% this.

HVAC (including heated seats / steering wheel), turn signals, wipers and frequently used stereo controls should ALWAYS be physical buttons. Any items that drivers interact with on a regular basis should be physical buttons / stalks. It’s like we want to move to everything automated / touch-based, but then realize that…

The messiest part of Red Bull the brand is that the grandson of the founder (of the Thai company that originally created the product, not the Austrian entity) apparently killed a police officer in a hit and run while drunk and high on coke, and was never even charged.

Jos trying to claim moral high ground is all-time hilarious. fuck that guy.

Plate racing is exciting because of the potential for Big Ones like last night. Road course racing is exciting because it showcases skills that drivers don’t normally display. Short track racing is exciting because you have 40 cars beating on each other on a half-mile track. The rest is yawn inducing in its sameness,…
