My thought is to gut it and build a track car

The gray Toyota, that was following closely behind the hauler, crashed into the Chevy Express van after the vehicle was knocked into the roadway.

Is General Electric really a company anymore?  Or are they simply a managed brand name that gets applies to crapola products?

I imagine the Ryobi car being something like the Citroën AMI :

What? No Dyson?

America is a dying country, incapable of improvement.

True.  I have not had a behind the wheel test since 1986 and never have had a vehicle inspection outside of a smog test.

This idea that “strict licensing requirements” is some magic solution only comes from people who don’t get it (and assume that it won’t prevent them from driving). Without viable public transportation, people have to drive. Whether they have a license or not is not really a factor in whether they will drive.

Inflation = 8.3% Average Raise = 3.4%

My daughter’s school doesn’t even have a driver’s ed class and apparently that is the norm.

Here the “no front plate” ticket is reduced to a $10 fine if you put one on after and have a cop verify it (a ‘fix-it ticket’). Meanwhile the fines from the automated cameras that only look at front plates are in the $400-$600 range. So I’d need to get cited for not having a plate 40 times to before it starts costing…

I wonder if it’s just “the police being jack-booted thugs with nothing better to do” type ticket?

Of course I remember CD players and surely costs will come down. However, I’m not the one who wrote an article with made up numbers about the current costs of things to justify a point of view. 

Relevant:

The US has 300% more vehicle deaths per capita than Germany. How does Germany do that? Not with any of that BS you wrote about. They have strict licensing requirements and good transit infrastructure.

“NHTSA has all but given up on making American drivers slow down.”

Define “should”. Should the 99% of people who don’t drive drunk be forced to blow into their car every time they need to go anywhere? Should I care if someone is too stupid to wear a seatbelt and gets themselves killed? Should we restrict everyone to exactly the same speed so there is no passing, no speed difference…

But then again, Jalopnik is far from what it used to be and things like “crack pipe” offend our delicate sensibilities.

They can still find clean looking cars from that era for way less than that.

Honestly, I think it would sell at $10,000-$12,000. Might take a while, but I think it would sell. There are certainly people with money and quirky taste out there.
