I got hit before too. I switched to mountain biking on the local trails now. No more smog, and no more asshole cars. There are tortoises in the woods that have almost made me crash though.

You shouldn’t have taken the bait from such an idiotic statement... Simply ask for a cited reference next time and wait forever for actual facts to never roll in. 

Yup. I hit the same trail every weekend. I can get almost 50 miles in with barely any contact with cars except parking lots and a few stop signs along the trail. Sure it’s not the most exciting ride after a year of this but after all the close calls I got during the pandemic (since apparently no one is paying…

I mean, yeah, there’s a lot of problems in Texas, but this sort of thing happens in all 50 states constantly. Maybe not resulting in cyclists being run over, but douche-bros harassing them, and if/when it goes wrong walking away with minor consequences. 

If you’re old enough/judged responsible enough to drive a vehicle on public roads, you’re old enough/responsible enough to face adult charges for vehicular crimes.

I work in the industry and they do generally stay on schedule and budget within reasonable bounds (and so do rail projects.) People make the mistake of assuming the price tag in the news is like the price at K-Mart, but it’s just an estimate, and usually a pretty good one. But every estimate is inaccurate to a degree.

This is a very good point and being in the middle of no where is usually when you need GPS and POI lookup the most. Nothing worse than your phone knowing where you are but no data to load maps. 

It’s a three ton vehicle and with the angle it was going the tires/wheels probably went onto the other vehicles.

Body shop be like: that's 30k of damage, see the bumper had to be replaced (10k), and we painted the fender.

This system debuted on the Lexus NX, and is Toyota’s bid to outdo Apple and Google inside your car. The carmaker invested a lot of time and money into supplanting the PC in your pocket while you’re driving

I wonder when car manufacturers will learn that this is folly and pointless? My cars are old and archaic so i just use my phone but my friends with new BMWs and Tesla’s and so on also just use their phones.

every time I see a company spending all this money trying to re-imagine infotainment all I can think is “jesus just make a damn app for my phone and just duplicate the screen!” I already know how to use my phone so just let my phone be the brain and it makes the whole process way simpler. make the plug in port usb-c…

This is America, you could easily have 5 adults at 300 lbs each onboard, all the payload gone right there.

Can’t wait for the slideshow! 

The cooling capacity to haul heavier loads must be limited by the smallish grill? /s

So the Tundra is more of a Fundra...not meant for heavy lifting. Huh.

“Pedo-Safety-Board”

You’re misleading and irresponsible.
