Since I’ve been driving less I’ve been getting less gas each time because I worry that any unused fuel left sitting for long enough will allow the ethanol to absorb moisture from the air and separate out from the gas once the water content is high enough, potentially causing engine damage. I was actually just about to…

The ethanol subsidy is one of my big peeves. Congress mandates that X billion gallons of the shit is made every year, but then it’s subsidized. What a goddamn racket.

which means there’s less production of ethanol, which is an additive in 98 percent gasoline in America,

There’s definitely a few tracks around with long enough straights that a very powerful road car (a C7 ZR-1 or a 911 GT2 for example) should be able to hit 180. Road America comes to mind, or Daytona.

A car that can go 180 pulls like crazy from 40-70. 

This just in:

Actually....

If I had to guess I would say you currently have an income and are not at risk to lose it regardless of how long this goes on therefore the best course of action is to keep everything closed indefinitely.

Ya, the flatten the curve narrative is completely lost now. I live in Alberta, and we are getting triple fucked by this because of the oil price war thing (I’m guessing Texas is similar). 

No kidding. We have to start opening things up if we don’t want society to crumble. The federal government can’t just keep sending people checks to keep them afloat as much as some people want.

The hard on some people have for their being no solution but to lock everyone up for the year plus it will take for a vaccine is getting old.

Maybe this will get approved. Sweden is expected to reach “herd immunity” in weeks (read cnbc article). The hypocrisy of saying “herd immunity” works for vaccinations and not naturally occurring “herd immunity” is insane. Furthermore, the side effects and potential side effects for any vaccine that is rushed to market…

The same people who are now requiring multiple Zoom meetings every day just to prove you’re working.

I agree; too many people were spending hours packing their crap, arriving hours early at the airport, subjecting themselves to invasive TSA screening, then being herded like cattle into overcrowded planes, enduring flight diversions, cancellations, and overbookings, spending hundreds of dollars, etc....for no real…

...rendering once-arid land unusable.

So, what your saying is these paths were heavily used during the medieval era, well before industrial pollution, and now that our climate is getting warmer they are thawing out and traversable again. which would mean that the glacial freeze is recent, and a sign that things got colder at one point, and are now getting…

Made more amusing/ironic since the tagline for Jalopnik is “Drive free or die” ...

I’m not a conservative. I can, and do, think for myself. I also don’t need any seeds so I have no dog in this fight. Since you seem to need it spelled out for you, there are entire websites dedicated to this type of political BS. This shouldn’t be one of them.

Is it because they’re in cars that makes this article appropriate for a website for car enthusiasts? That seems like a pretty flimsy excuse to write yet another political article. No?
