I would love to own a RR Phantom. I love that thing! Now you got me thinking about it again damn it.

Try crossing Montana or Nevada! 100 is a snail’s pace.

Much better.

That’s a beauty!

Planes are faster. The infrastructure To get to the plane is the weak link and the asshole terrorists make boarding a chore. A train, TGV or otherwise isn’t going to let me fly out of NY and get to LA in time for lunch. You could have breakfast in Paris, get on the Concorde, and then have Breakfast again in NY. I love…

“....are you on crack?”

Others who live in Orange and San Diego Counties here in California can confirm this but 80mph is the de facto speed here unless there’s a huge amount of traffic or construction. 100mph is not that unusual. The CHP doesn’t seem to mind 80 mph in general, as long as you’re not driving like an idiot. Anyway, I’m an…

I think autonomous cars are coming and will be wonderful. We’ll see how it goes.

Remember when Lincoln had great names like the “Somnambulant” and “Serene Repose” and the wildly best selling “IsoBox?” I’m actually a Lincoln fan. Fix it or dump it.

Nahhhh.....to rough. Even when I was a kid I wouldn’t drive around in that interior. Find a nice stock 142 and if you must, put a modern balanced drivetrain it, maybe with a slick 6 speed or nice modern auto box and i’d be interested. I bet a ton of people would love to own this but not me. Not even for free.

It’s not the same and you know that. Also, as far as finding the right of way for pipelines, that doesn’t go so quickly either. As I said, I love trains, but I’m not that wound up there aren’t more. Also from what I can tell, there’s more interest than ever by governments here to build them. we just have poor, lousy…

In the near future, a car will easily do 120mph and it won’t need you to drive it. it will be what we call a car in concept only. it will be an integrated transport system Our “cars” will roll onto larger platforms resembling trains or trucks, and traverse larger distances more efficiently, the drop off for local…

Automated cars. They will essentially be trains traveling just a few inches to a few feet apart.

I think they’ll fix the cooling issues. They better. People don’t put up with crap like that anymore. You’re not going to see engine covers propped open with beer cans like you used to see Corvettes do in the past. Those days are over.

Yeah but how did HD do globally?

I’d build a brake shop and body shop at the bottom. Maybe a hospital or ambulance service too.

We can. Bet we don’t.

I disagree. Thanks for the opinion.

Is this Jerry Brown? Just kidding. I’m not cherry picking. That’s the example I use because I’m talking about national transportation. Local is a different issue and to me, LA to SF is local. Don’t get so agitated. Don’t worry. No one in the government is asking me what they ought to do. We’re just commenting on the…
