I feel like it’s not unreasonable or hypocritical to think that there are probably many different ways to make it more difficult for a bad person to get a firearm while also thinking that making 1/3 of the country armed and dangerous felons at the stroke of a pen is a terrible idea

There are 2 things which generally cause me to immediately end a potential business transaction: slimy dudes who say something sexist or slimy old dudes who say something derogatory about millennials failing to realize we millennials are all in our 30s with real jobs and such. I’ve learned a lot of car salesman like…

If automakers don’t care about their dealer experience, it’s going to cost them. This is especially true for the ones like Mazda and Kia/Hyundai which are trying to get at least some of their vehicles into the upmarket space.

While there might be some gray area, I’m pretty sure if you get caught up in a federal gun trafficking case, and they find you with AR lowers with modified safety position holes to allow for full auto, you’re getting charged with an illegal machine gun whether you also have the auto sear pieces or not. 

This is a good green

I would imagine that ‘not living in a detached house’ is probably the single largest factor since not having your own garage/driveway to charge from is probably a massive pain in the ass. Even if you are slow charging at home, you plug in at night and should be good for your commute in the morning.

It’s certainly plausible that the victim in the passenger seat was driving, crashed, and then finding the driver’s side door stuck, attempted to get from the passenger side but succumbed to injury/shock/fire and/or that door was also stuck.

It’s because AutoPilot was not engaged when the vehicle crashed (because AutoPilot disengaged half a second before the vehicle slammed into the thing)

The “front loaded” throttle probably explains the city mileage: You don’t have to floor it, but if you depress the gas pedal 15% and get 35% throttle its kind of the same thing from a mileage perspective.

Weight, gearing and torque curve/power delivery have HUGE impacts on city mileage.

Yea...I’m totally fine with law defining certain protections from criminal/civil suits in certain “defensive” scenarios but that walks a fine line and this law seems to just fully cover offensive actions. (i.e. a driver who was stopped speeding away because a mob is trying to pull them from the vehicle vs a driver…

Yea but the average consumer (idiots) doesn’t understand any of that.

But 0-60 is the easiest bench racing mark and also the easiest thing for the average driver to actually do.

Was expecting a 1 line article. 

I’m assuming that everyone commenting “herr derr RoAdS aRe FoR dRiViNg IDIOT” throughout here are the very people VT is concerned with and/or the people crashing at Cars and Coffee. 

Even in a vehicle with lazy steering ratios you can still turn the wheel plenty quick without getting crossed up if you understand proper driving technique.

10 and 2 never made sense to me when you consider that you generally have more leverage and range of motion in the arm going “over the top” . 10 and 2 puts your hands too high and too close together so you get maybe 1/4 turn before you start to get crossed up. In the 8/4 to 9/3 range, you can get about 3/4 turn in…

I can appreciate that it may have been his theoretical favorite car, because it is in fact awesome, but if he doesn’t really fit in it then its not going to be driven anymore. I don’t think he is taking any of these out for regular drives but he doesn’t want it to languish in the garage when he can get half a mil for…
