If a person can’t afford the fine, how can they afford to keep their car insured and in good condition?

The maintenance costs on a Lexus IS-F are closer to a 335i than an M3 and the repair costs are substantially less. No one ever needed to replace the main bearings on their Lexus at 100k miles.

They’re both indefensible cars with some neat engineering. They’re competitors if you’re buying with your heart and groins, they’re not competitors if you’re buying with your head.

If you can learn how to do the job on the job in less than 3 months, it’s effectively unskilled

There are no innocent victims - the State has an expectation of competency from drivers. Any driver who crashes into this bridge is evidently incompetent.

Fiat Chrylser might be the most boring car company. They primarily schlep SUVs with bad transmissions, and their performance division is a one trick pony: let’s put a v8 in there.

That’s not entirely true. If there are bills in your name and you pay them on time, you generally have a pretty favorable credit score but not a lot of credit history. It would be tough to get a mortgage or a credit card with a high credit limit, but it would be easy to get a credit card.

The chevy bolt doesn’t have access to the supercharger network. Every Tesla model 3 will be capable of autonamous driving (eventually), no bolt yet made will be capable of the same feat (and GM hasn’t announced plans for it).

And there’s the rub - you can take voluntary steps and there probably should be some hard rules.

The 2UZ was the truck motor - it was 4.7 liters although it made around 300 hp as well (with VVTi).

Stay away from the 5 speed matrix, they have transmission issues.

C’mon commute in flyover country. It doesn’t ‘stop and go’ unless there’s a crash or it’s a blizzard.

I’ll give you the F40's body material but I don’t understand the efficacy of the kevlar composite verses any other sort of composite - wonder why a company that could bankrupt themselves easily would push a low-benefit technology.

Honda’s 3.7 liter V6 in Acuras rev’d out pretty nicely.

Putin may be a ruthless autocrat who has no problem stealing sovereign land, in the case of Ukraine

I’m against compulsory capitalism when I’m forced to buy things I don’t want to buy. I didn’t want to pay for those obese navy officers to shoot dessert down some working girls mouth but I did in the form of higher cost of servicing the ship and the officer’s salary / healthcare / benefits.

More than half of the U.S. Navy’s aircraft can’t fly because there isn’t enough money to fix them

Wanna be seen? Wear high-vis gear or get a yellow goldwing. People don’t even hear harleys.

Any plans for ABS on an Alta in the near future?

I like you. If I ever become The Sovereign (a la Carl Schmitt) will you become a secret police commander?
