See my reply to send_in_the_drones.

Yeah it was an idea off the cuff. But we have self driving cars now, which folks on these boards tell me are perfectly safe and trustworthy. Pretty sure the technology either exists or can be developed to see if a scooter has been moved from one location to another without being rented/ridden/turned on. Hell my own…

Why don’t the scooter companies just put a sticker on the scooters that states “If found on private property please call 1-800-***-**** $10 reward for return”

A sports car to me has always been a two seater, but that's besides the point. Cool that your kiddo is starting to get into cars. As for cylinder count, it's always been about power mostly. Exhaust note plays a part too but like I said when the little motor is 300+ HP what's to complain about? When I was in high…

Its kinda hard to complain about living in the age of 330 HP 4 bangers. The 2.3 in my ‘80 Capri high school car put out 88 hp, IIRC. 

Washington doesn’t do the bullshit back registration thing, that’s just Whackafornia. Or just take it to rural Oregon, $196 ‘n you’ve got new tags with no smog test.

Well played.

Yeah, I know. On New year’s day of 2012 at about 1 in the morning I was tackled and cuffed for an hour and a half by Oregon State Trooper Justin Oxenrider after I picked an unlit cigarette up from the ground. He insisted I had picked up drugs that had been left for me on the sidewalk. Seriously. After an hour and a…

Or maybe the police are just dicks who do what they want, when they want with impunity.

She does understand, and thanks us for it often. I don’t really want her to know the full scope however, cause I know it would weigh on her. she’s pretty independent and conscientious about things. Not to toot my own horn but her mom and I raised a pretty awesome little human being. I never really thought I’d have the…

To quote your comment: “Fucking offset crash performance doesn’t keep a single person out of an accident, ever.”

I want to give you more stars but they only give me one. My daughter is currently in a well respected private school in Oregon wine country. She got herself there through hard work and perseverance. Even with a scholarship covering half her mother and I are splitting 25k a year in student loans. Is it a burden? More…

By your logic you don’t need door locks on your house either. Just pay attention and don’t get robbed.

Offset crash performance has NEVER helped anyone AVOID an accident but it's helped plenty survive them. Please say the words out loud first and try to be more smarterer. 

Why do you have one then? It sounds like you have had a few, why keep coming back? Not trying to be a dick, honest question.

The perfect answer to a question nobody asked.

We already have "flying cars." They're called "small airplanes."

A bypass to bypass what? The city? Like the freeways already do? 

I can only comment on one, as I live in Portland, but what’s the replacement plan for when they rip the out a 4 lane interstate freeway? You can’t really put that much interstate commerce on a lovely tree lined boulevard and expect anything but gridlock. Furthermore, I5 being a major commuting route, what happens to…
