Better hurry before Tesla goes tits up

I have questionable tastes for all things cosmetic in any case. One of my buddies bought an ‘87 Mustang GT in ‘86 and I thought it was gorgeous. In my own defense, I thought it was gorgeous because it was the fastest (stock) thing on the street at the time, not really because of how it looked.

That’s why they have multiple spark plugs per cylinder. One of the reasons anyway.

No, you aren’t protecting anything and if that is your intent, you have (clearly, demonstrably) failed miserably. If you want people to slow down, you have to quit crying “wolf.” That is, quit setting artificially low speed limits, dinging people for violating these artificially low speed limits and set real, strict,

I like the way Germany does it. Let your conscience be your guide most of the time. When it is time to slow down, it is marked “If you speed, you will lose your driving privilege.”
The whole concept of a fine is abhorrent to me. Government isn’t here to punish. It is here to protect the people in general and

Do some research on how speed limits are determined. I am not advocating tearing ass through a neighborhood, but speed limits, the things that define speeding can be and are set arbitrarily low. In that case, fuck the police and the people who set the limits. In another case, the dipwad doing 15 under on a two lane

Depends on what they say in comic sans.

If you want earth-shakingly loud, go to a Top Fuel race. It took me 15+ minutes (10 miles as the crow flies) to get to Charlotte Motor Speedway from my house in NC, and I could HEAR THE FUCKING RACE IN MY FUCKING LIVING ROOM. From a front row seat, it is so loud you can’t really hear it, you FEEL it and you can’t

I call lots of people idiots. You are not one of them. I had enough respect for your opinion through observation that I’d take your word for it in lieu of doing the research.

Had. Had a Fazer. 20 valves, 3 discs, six cogs and a beefy deltabox. In 1986.

Everyone looks similar in text.

The Liberty Mutual commercials just make me boil as well. “Newsflash: you’re an idiot.”

Actually the little millennial girl shouting “newsflash” about something she doesn’t understand is less infuriating than “torque ratios.” (shouted by an idiot who looks to be of an age with me)

Nobody that has a clue about anything

sounds backwards. I’d want three intakes and two exhausts. Like on my ‘86 FZX700

Heisenberg.

You know, this isn’t a court of law so you don’t need the defense (me) to own the door for the prosecution (you) to introduce new ‘evidence.’ That is a great story. Steven sounds exactly as I imagined.

Valid point. In fact this is as good a defense of the activity as I have seen. Kudos. That doesn’t mean it isn’t dumb.

Thanks for ferreting this out, Ryan. Great PSA and kudos on the hard work/results.

Really uplifting right there at the end. Steven is really amazing.

Had something similar to me happen yesterday. Kid with a neck beard and a boy-bun (I refuse to call them man-buns)pulled half into the shared entrance/exit lane off of 75 North of Dallas (ok, FAR North) and just stopped. I was behind him, trying to get ON the highway, and couldn’t pass, and had to stand on the brakes

I’m getting close to 50, myself. I think my first concert was Power Windows in...85?
