“Being spied on by the NSA, gang-raped at airports, hunting season by some overzealous police people, whistleblowers punished for telling the truth, having your Internet history sold to the highest bidder, frisking an entire school without permission and so on...”

Bitch please. My Corvair can be stolen with it’s own dip stick.

The entire court system is stacked in the favor of the prosecution, despite rules that are supposed to do the opposite. Public opinion, jury instruction, the way the cases themselves are presented, the inundation of every dumbass american with shitty Dick Wolf TV dramas... Juries sit down predisposed to the idea…

“Dear god do they just hand you guys a drivers license at 16 and say “dont kill anyone please?””

Be polite and apologetic. That’s it. Excuses never work because if you give an excuse you’re admitting you purposely were speeding. “Sorry about that officer” has worked pretty well for me. But then again, so has being over 30 (I got a bunch of tickets in my 20's, respectful apologies or not, so it may be out of…

“Because regardless of what car guys say, boring sells. Boring is safe.”

Well, I’m plausibly in the target audience here, and I’d like at least *some* meaningful color, if for no other reason than to distinguish my car from an Uber Select. Why they wouldn’t offer the Cardinal Red from the E-Class, the Brilliant Blue from the AMG GT-S, or Pewter from the W220 color chart?

So true! Have you noticed that they have battle scars in the same area as they would get doing the stupid thing that you notice them doing? Like rear bumper all screwed up and turning abruptly without signaling.

A star from a kindered spirit. Make it 30K mile a year, a GT40(yes a real one) instead of a lambo, and a lot of towing a trailer in the snow and that could have been writen about me.

Nothing scares me more than a person who’s never had a speeding ticket;

I should probably mention that I am a Florida native, and in the last 17 years of holding a driver’s license, I would say I’ve been pulled over 6 or 7 DOZEN times (or more). Half of those resulted in Speeding tickets. Half of those speeding tickets have been dismissed. In fact, I was driving with my (soon to be)…

It’s so obvious!

Park it perpendicular. Problem solved.

“Again though, it’s only a factor of two from where they are now.”

I’m not saying it’s not attainable, in fact, Electrek is working on a 400kW station, now, for when 400kW will become the norm. However, here is a 400kW setup:

I work for PG&E and I can tell you they are putting more effort into marketing for getting people to switch to EV’s than they are into the infrastructure to support the EVs once they do. And that’s with the Bay Area being almost 100% 12kV on the primaries.

“Is $10 “that” much?”

I don’t doubt it. I used to have a 2001 M3 and currently a 2006 M5, there’s a 2 reasons I do very few mods.

1) The car’s pretty damn good from factory, aside from a little chrome removal and some mild lips/skirts, less is more, especially if we’re talking re-list value. No one wants an M that was molested like a…

Yep.

What’s your point? The Z was launched in 1970, the Maxima in 1982, I still give Ghosn credit for some of the ugliest and most neglected versions of those cars, to date. Not that the 350Z was ugly when it launched, but it has become old and tired over the last 2 decades of no major development.

1998 is a choice year, for you, then.
