Be careful with that comment. Often, insurance rates that low are for collision only, and credit score affects your insurance rate. If you’re still paying down a car with an auto loan (which is unlikely on a $7,000 used car), the bank will often require comprehensive coverage, which will cost more for a given vehicle.

This sounds a shit ton more like a ‘you’ issue than a Pence issue.

I’m not sure why you think I’m being disingenuous, though I’ll willingly admit that most people who vote Republican get hoodwinked. Most of them vote for Republicans thinking that ‘R’ means a vote for less spending, less regulation, and less government interventionism. Sadly, that’s not typically the case either by…

The stupidity abounds with this decision, but it’s not exactly something new. I’m still at a loss as to what possible gain this could possibly have for New York. I honestly don’t understand how these states plan to recoup the expenses incurred for trying to keep various companies / sports franchises / factories /…

Yup. Attending to the latter precludes worrying about the former. I’m at a loss as to why this is such a difficult concept to grasp.

Yup. Really seems like a stupid set of rules for a powerful politician to have. #metoo

Yup, that’s a real repudiation of my sources if I’ve ever seen one, there...

I completely understand your point, but would recommend you check out the actual super-cruise ad. They do go over your concerns in pretty fine detail.

While I would agree with you as Telsa’s ‘Auto-Pilot’ is currently programmed, this ongoing debate is a carryover from the initial iteration of the system, which did not actively require periodic input from the driver. From a legal perspective, you’re spot on. In the court of public opinion, I’m afraid that Tesla shot…

While I see your point, the ad you’ve linked above also goes to great pains to describe how the system will track your vision to make sure that you are looking out at the road and the steps the car will take if you fail to do so. While a reasonable counterpoint would be that people will be able to spoof this system,…

LOL, I’m curious how much of this is you being serious, and how much is dry/dark humor. Have a star for it either way.

It seems I may have touched a bit of a nerve, here... Care to tell me where I’m wrong about entitlement spending being the vast majority of current expenditure, how it will continue to grow exponentially over the next decade - far outpacing projected GDP or tax revenue growth, or how cutting every last cent of defense…

That’s well and good for Norway, but with the way the US is spending and projected to continue spending, No amount of additional taxation is liable redress the spending balance. I’ve yet to see a proposal that would achieve a long term spending balance, even assuming the current rate of government spend. We have…

Remember, you’re talking about a cultural hegemony with an extremely small, extremely intelligent, population and a penchant for ostracism of anyone who breaks the cultural norm. People seem to forget that the majority of our budget woes come from entitlement spending (which has absolutely nothing to do with defense /…

Yeah, yeah... I know. Ferrari vs. Lamborghini, potato vs. tomato - same difference. You get the idea.

Come, now. They’ll still need an endurance tank to account for all the gratuitous rev bombing. Realistically, Lamborghini wouldn’t even need to hook anything to the flywheel.

Ignoring the engine sound aspect, a car with all REAR-wheel drive and a traction control off button ideally would be optimized so that it at least feels like it’s borderline almost it’s on the driver to keep from losing it.

I’m a bit lost on that one as well. Fold down seats, a large trunk, surprisingly decent mileage (particularly on the newer, DI ones), and an automatic ...even if it is a CVT.

LOL, for sure. I was more talking about how sport cup tires sound like an awesome idea until you have to, like, live with them day to day.

DOT SLICKS! FOr...
...for the win?
