infuriating, so since 2001 one of the poorest countries in the EU just found a way to deal with it, and 20 years later people are still refusing to learn anything from it

Hot prediction: Buy whatever SRT cars you like now because there will be no Hellcat/Demon/TRX successors.

Salt does indeed help with snow, but its more for ice than it is snow. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which helps keep the snow from melting and then turning into ice under the snow the next time the temp drops sufficiently enough to re-freeze.

The biggest problem, and the one that irks me the most, is waiting for a day that the roads are free enough from slush/salt to go wash it, and then somehow finding the only road on my half mile drive home that’s loaded with slush and salt.....

“conscious and breathing but in a lot of pain” is how I describe myself 30 seconds after waking up. I am not enjoying getting old.

RV toilets are more trouble than they are worth. that is what rest stops and campground facilities are for.

Thank you, but I’ll keep eating all the delicious styles of pizza made by whoever knows how to make them the best, which has nothing to do with their nationality or genetics.

I’m not sure what the hell I am looking at, but that is *not* Detroit style pizza. It’s not even the right effing shape...

That’s not Detroit style pizza.

Nah, Little Caesars is fine, super cheap pizza. It’s not objectively good compared to a good local place, but it doesn’t try to be. It’s more honest than the Pizza Hut... thing above.

Little Caesars is not pizza, it is an abomination in pizza form.

I’d argue there’s a bigger “middle market” of pseudo-sims like GT and FM than there is for more demanding sims, like ACC or iRacing. The further you slice that pie, the more you cut people out. Look how big Forza Horizon is, which is obviously more accessible than any of those games previously mentioned.

Charging infrastructure should have zero to do with their decision. These things by definition park in depots at night. During the day, they make runs that are very, very rarely longer than 20-30 miles in a loop. And for those that are double-duty, taking sports/events teams, you can always keep a few gas burners…

It is the ten/ninety rule. Ten percent of people are capable of driving fast in poor conditions, ninety percent of people think they are in that ten percent though.

Germany has this on the autobahn. Ordinarily no limit on a lot of it, but if rain, snow, etc. they can activate.

Americans, of which I am one, are too dumb or obstinate to accept this limitation upon “muh freedom.” Evidence: claims that roads being shut by governor in MA during huge blizzard in 2017 was…

One instance does not mean it isn’t SOP to impose middling fines.

In the same way that a model 3 is somehow called a “luxury car” despite the Chevy/Dodge -level interior quality and panel fitment. Tesla is game-changing, so they can call things whatever they want!

This speaks to a much larger issue that we are currently facing in the US... a lack of meaningful consequences for some people/companies when they break the law. $180 million is a pittance to Toyota. It’s just a slap on the wrist. Despite the often repeated mantra that “no man is above the law”, in practice it is…

The same way a HHR and CHR and whatever else bloated hatchback on stilts is flagged a SUF for the same of reduced CAFE standards... 

In the sense of marketing tomfoolery.
