Did you try saying this word a few times before recommending it? It’s terrible!

I fear you didn’t read my comment. If you use a car to travel to the mall, the movie theater, or a restaurant, you are exposing yourself to risk, purely for a leisure/pleasure activity. How is that any different? I’m not saying that taking a car to work is the same, but I am saying that taking a car anywhere for fun…

If you use a car to pursue a leisure activity, or anything that isn’t essential for survival, how is that a false equivalency?

Often people knock the model s’s range (250 miles ish?), which is actually fine for 99% of the drives I do, and probably most people, but this range of 90 miles really does strike me as quite useless. Realistically that’s only a 45 mile range to a destination that doesn’t have a charger, and I do trips like that more…

Okay, I just need to survive the next ten years until these things are autonomous anyway!

I had the exact same experience! I was shopping for life insurance, and there were tons of negative reviews about refusal to pay claims, or dragging them out forever. In the end I just had to trust my agent (who did indeed come highly recommended).

I don’t think these are in the same used price bracket at all. Every s2000 I see is 10 years older and the same price, which, to me, does not make it equivalent.

I actually have lots of pity for these sorts of people. That guy just had one ten second interval of profound stupidity. I think it “could happen” to more of us than we realize.

They don’t compare to this, and I’m sure NASCAR might have similar situations, but the F1 “Box box box, do the opposite of <current competitor>“ often results in some interesting moments.

Except, it isn’t even priced to compete with a midrange luxury box. You’re not just trading gadgets for cachet, you’re paying a massive premium for it.

Those rods are almost certainly more likely to fail than parking sensors.

I don’t know much about racing, and even I can tell that that GT3 driver is not experienced. And, even if he is “experienced,” he certainly isn’t any good.

I think that was his point, “me with no experience could beat someone with tons of experience because of how awesome my car is.”

Four ten Euro crêpes? Sounds awesome to me!

I would change my master if I remembered it!

I want to play MW2 online so badly. But alas, I suspect it’s still hacked/exploited to complete uselessness.

The wheel has an insane amount of inertia, and therefore actually resists rotating about its head tube. But yes, I’d imagine any steering mistakes would be disastrous. And actually drag typically goes up with velocity squared. But yes, I agree, drag wouldn’t feel like it is slowing you down nearly enough.

250 mph?! That’s insane! On a bike can you even gently touch the brake at that speed without crashing, or do you have to wait till drag (relatively quickly) scrubs off some speed?

The speed limit was 30 kph, or 18 mph. You could be going 50 mph in a camry and stop in that time. This guy was just driving obscenely fast.
