Of course! I’m going to try to do as many car and bike track days as I can, plus some autocross and rallycross. See you out there!

I am in Ohio. That was my plan!

All parts I installed were purchased new, so I’ll have receipts for all of it. 

How is this a penalty to automakers? All theyre going to do is transfer this to the customer, probably 3X, blame the gov’t, and rake in MORE profit. 

As someone who has a set of SU carbs on my old volvo. i can somewhat relate. 

My FIL has owned probably 30 old british sports cars since I’ve know him. He currently has 4 (3 MGs and a Morgan). All his cars are/were in excellent condition. Most are high 3 or solid 4 condition. I help him maintain them (which is like a full time job). They are just as bad as the memes unless you spend your week…

Formula 1 is not interesting. Not going to give people shit for watching it but I’m pretty damn tired of people telling me I should.. it’s just not interesting to me OK?

Automobiles only come in four colors, red, British Racing Green, black, and “who cares.”

Are you and your company deeply tied to the leader of a regime who is invading a foreign country? Is your company the result of massive graft and you were able to purchase a state owned company for pennies on the dollar? Is your wealth tied to corruption and being best buds with a maniac with delusions of recreating…

Taxi drivers were dying because the medallion system was fundamentally broken. Medallions should never have been allowed to be sold or transferred; doing so allowed a scarcity that was exploited to push the prices north of 1 million dollars per cab. That’s insane. Uber exposed the insanity for what it was. The…

the second point there is very common in MD.  i always joked they think the world might end over the crest of a hill so they have to slow down so much to be able to take evasive action before speeding up to 130 onthe downhill.

I don’t particularly like Paul’s politics or priorities, but the idea of legislators who want to reign in the size and scope of the government isn’t an intrinsically bad thing. 

Back when I was in college I was failed over something most shops would tell you about as they passed your inspection.

It’s... you really have to experience one to see just how bad it is. I can absolutely appreciate the Accent, the Rio5, the Fiat 500, the Fiesta. The Mirage genuinely hasn’t got any redeeming qualities. It handles like garbage. The manual transmission’s gearing ratios very tall - it feels like they just took the manual…

I had one as a Turo rental. It’s the worst modern car I’ve driven, by a wide margin. It’s the first time, in a long time, that I’ve disliked driving a small car. It has no redeeming qualities. Tons of body roll, bad seats, poor steering feel, frankly bad handling, bad brakes and no power.

Think Geo Metro. It makes less power than 1997 Hyundai Accent.

I’ve driven about twenty of the current generation of Mirage between the time I spent turning wrenches for a Mitsubishi dealership and the time I spent working for the biggest used car retailer as a technician.

As a person that owned a car with pop-up lights... all cars with pop up lights suck.

Pop up headlights suck in all cases and anyone who thinks otherwise has never lived with them in a snowy climate.

True (my father-in-law runs a local suburban post office). However, the needed infrastructure upgrades are not as severe as claimed (source: I have been working on EVs - specifically charging infrastructure - for 12+ years.) The USPS mail vans are like school buses - with known routes and travel patterns, lower power…

Yeah, it’s not a perfect comparison, but a new Colorado (2.5, auto, 2WD) barely gets better economy than an ‘80's S10 (Iron Duke & 3-spd, like the LLV) - more weight, power, safety, and comfort features all chip away at decades of engine improvement.
