Just to play devils advocate, there could be an argument that being able to “disable” a vehicle, in time, could virtually eliminate high speed cars chases that seem to always end up in some innocent person(s) hurt or killed.

Yeah, a six pack and 2 mixed drinks...sure buddy! Typically people like that will understate what they actually drank. So I’m guessing a six pack, 6 mixed drinks and a couple of shots.

To me this is not valid “hypermiling”. I mean c’mon, if you doing 20 in a 45 then your not actually hypermiling IMHO. Especially if you’re trying to break a record. In that case why not go only 15, or 10 or 5 MPH. It’s no different. To me, true hypermiling would be trying to squeeze as much mileage as possible from a…

Yeah, I never get all pissed off when I get cut off or something like that. Hell, I rarely honk my horn, usually only to warn the other driver if they are close to hitting me.

Well, you can buy pepper spary with dye, so why not glitter. A little color and sparkle never hurt anyone (well, except the person being pepper sprayed).

The best kind is the gel type. Almost no chance of blowback into your own face, can be used indoors, sticks to the skin and when they inevitably rub their eyes and face, it just spreads it around even more and makes it so much worse. ;)

I just came here to say something similar. :)

I was thinking the same thing. And it’s not like the occupants of the Kia were threatening him (that I could tell). Their window was mostly up and it looked like he just got a bad case of RR and was trying to get the driver to step out of the vehicle at a red light. He should be charged with attempted murder, though I…

I don’t know, I think those right wing nubes heads might explode when the Prius guy invokes the “stand your ground law” as justification for shooting the other guy. I mean, they like to invoke that law every time some white brosef shoots a person of color.

In the grand scheme of things and the US economy, that’s not a lot and I’m all for it. I would not have an issue with my tax dollars paying for an all electric USPS fleet. The benefits greatly outweigh the costs IMHO.

So, according to the ad, it starts and runs...without belts apparently.

I wish I would have known this a few years back when we got stuck on the tarmac (bad weather) for just over 4 hours. Myself and a number of other passengers wanted off as we had relatives relatively close and could stay with them overnight to come back the next day. However the airlines refused to let anyone deplane.

I’m just gonna leave this right here... yeah.

I was thinking something similar. They get up to cruising speed then deploy the “sail(s)“ and let it do most of the work, with the engine still working, yet at a much lower power level. Similar to how many ICE engines have that option where once they get to cruising speed on the highways a number of the cylinders are…

They sure do...based on your race!

Ah yes, the US Justice system. White people do far worse (and intentionally) and get far, far less time in prison (or none at all, looking at you Sacklers). Brown person who made some mistakes (unintentional) and goes to prison for 110 years.

I don’t know. Look at those little 4x4's like the Sidekick. With the right mods, those things are like little mountain goats that can go just about anywhere. I think something like this would be similar with the right mods.

I really don’t get the mentality of “why you spending all that money to go to space when you could be, blah blah blah”. I mean, it’s his money, who’s to say he’s not already giving millions away to different causes?

Maybe if he tweets he’s against subsidies for EV car companies and the underlying infrastructure, Musk will give him a Tesla Plaid. Problem solved!
