That’s a Brazilian plate, probably from the state of São Paulo as it starts with an E. Lanesplitting is a thing in Brazil because of the chaotic traffic, but since our lanes are far narrower than those in the US, it's quite dangerous. I've had side mirrors smashed by asshole bikers more times than I care to count.

I think I'd put my minimum at about 100 hp. My mom's Onix weighs in at about 1100 kg and the 86 hp 1.4 engine feels quite underpowered... As for the sweet spot, yeah, something between 200 and 250 hp.

Maybe Kinja will work at all someday too.

Nope. I never use it either. If I have to go someplace I don’t know, I’ll simply ask another driver for directions at a stoplight or something when I’m in the general area.

There’s absolutely no difference between those in power and the opposition. They should all rot in jail and we’d be better for it. The middle class’ grown mostly because the “minimum requirements” to qualify as middle class have dropped, same as the health and education indicators, and without infrastructure any

Ok, and what little world would that be? I’m actually curious now that you’ve started putting thoughts into my head, there must be some form of context backing your assumptions. Of course there are a lot of things to be done in order to improve Brazil, everyone's known that for decades, and yet nothing ever got done.

Well, there's one good thing about Brazil... People's minds don't immediately spring to "Lawsuit Millions!" when this kind of stuff happens. I doubt there were any lawsuits at all in fact.

Coke I think. I saw this on TV when it went down, this guy could probably outquick Usain Bolt

Also, were this to take place in the US or Europe, people would be all over their Darwin Awards comments, calling them rednecks, or whatever, and describing a thousand correct ways to do the same job simply and efficiently, but because it’s politically incorrect to criticize Brazil for anything nowadays, this shit

Who, me? Do you just go out and about assuming shit about people just because? I mean, you could hardly have guessed more wrong, but go on, what else can your incredible powers of deduction find out about me?

Yup, like instead of changing it, we just smash it on the ground and then set it on fire...

That, too, but the wealthy aren’t much better off. You don’t smart your way to riches down here, you weasel it, through corruption and other such "commendable" practices. Plus, it’s not really a matter of stupidity as it is of conformity, people just accept that’s the way things are and don’t care enough to put the

See, that’s the problem, people talk about our “natural creativity” as if it were a good thing, but the only reason we’re creative is because nothing works properly here and no one knows how to make it work, so we wing it.

Brazil is a piece of shit because of dumb people who don't know how to properly do anything, in short.

I’m surprised no one’s replied to call you xenophobic or anything like that, but yeah, you pretty much nailed it. I once read a piece in a News magazine that it takes about 5 people to do a 5th of what one properly instructed and equipped worker can do in the US or Europe. That's why Brazil sucks and why people who

It's in Brazil, so trust me, it was every bit as stupid and unplanned as it seems.

Ah, Brazil...

I guess, but if Germany really was THE best part of the whole journey, and now it’s the lamest one, I can’t help but wonder if there won’t be a hit in popularity after all.

Staying physiologically fit, for one. Lack of gravity for prolonged periods of time has a pretty nasty effect on bones, muscles and vessels, and you’d have to follow a somewhat strict exercise routine just to avoid crumbling into dust the next time you get to Earth.

This is the single greatest gif ever, probably.
