A couple of years ago ann S5 tried to get me but I somehow escaped. It was close.

I’m not angry. Just cranky today. I still say a lot of people think driving fast is easier than it is. It looks so easy in the movies and on TV. I don’t want to argue. Really. We all have our opinions.
OK. My mistake. I guess everything’s fine then. I bet some people could drive the course in the wrong direction and not crash. Just sayin’....
OK, I haven’t ever driven that class. You’re right. I’ve also driven cars and motorcycles on the street and track at speeds well over 120. So what’s your point? Everyone IS. a great driver? Look at the car. The kid’s dead. What’s your point?
Your post would be a great printed on a Jalopnik T Shirt!
Wouldn’t pay that much if it didn’t have a salvage title. I’ve owned a few Audis and they always screwed me over with one stupid failure after another. Never again.
It’s irrelevant to most of us whether this is the Manhattan Project or Apollo Project or Sears Siding Remodel Project in scope. I get a bit angry when I hear lib dismissal of these projects. To trivialize the accomplishment is ignorance. You can hate the car, you can think it’s an irrelevant car or not a benchmark,…
Most of us are so delusional about our driving skills. Yeah....go ahead and drive your Lmbo. 200 mph. It’s easy! Poor guy. Only 24. I can’t imagine how devastated his family is.
In the end, these cars and all of the same ilk are just little stories and fantasies we've made up in our heads. That's not bad generally, but you can mess up getting too caught up in it. It's like guys that buy Dorothy's shoes from the Wizard of Oz. OK...now what? So someone will probably buy the thing and almost…
These stories are so funny. Are the drivers on these teams supposed to be polite to each other on the track? "After you Nico...." No no...I wouldn't hear of it....after you Lewis....you're faster!." "Nonsense Nico.....just lucky today...after you. I insist!"
I’m all for text blocking under motion but it’s not easy. You don’t want to prevent passengers from texting. Hard to isolate the driver. Even if you enter the info so the car thinks it knows which phone is the driver’s, there’s nothing stopping the driver from having two phones. I absolutely believe people would have…
So yeah the government sucks, this problem sucks, everything military sucks. In all seriousness, how can it be fixed? I know that's impossible to answer here or maybe even in one book. Now that we know everything sucks, briefly what's to be done about it. I really want to know. I can't imagine no one in the military…
OK. Let’s just disagree while agreeing on the big picture.
I agree your heart is in the right place and you’re on the right side of the discussion for sure. Even GM would agree believe it or not. It’s just that terms like murder and manslaughter isn’t helpful and you’re giving way too much credence to the idea that a bunch of people got together and decided they would murder…
Yeah...that’s what I was saying. Of course that’s not what I’m saying at all and I think you know that. I’m sorry I posted this stuff because too many people think emotionally. If you hung the guy who designed the switch what does that accomplish? Revenge? It’s a products liability case and nothing more. It’s business…
OK. You’re wrong. Consider yourself corrected. That’s not how the world works.
Well you should work on getting that done. Write your senator. Some of them agree with you. It’s not too late for that.
That’s a settlement decided by the guy who also decided damages to the 9-11 victims and the BP oil spill damage payouts. Anyway, I don’t know if you’re trying to straighten out my thinking but really, you needen’t do that. I don’t work for GM, I don’t run GM, I don’t write checks to victims. I’m just setting…
I’m not arguing that. I don’t know if that legally amounts to murder. Conspiracy maybe. NHTSA and the DOT knew about this problem and did nothing either. What about them? I think almost all car companies have hidden deadly defects. Ford Pinto, Jeep fuel tanks, Chrysler minivans with 3rd row seats unlatching, American…
