Hi sir you replied to a 6 month old comment but here I am. Please point out what I said was revisionist BS and I will be happy to debate your opinion

As a car-guy who also is a motorcyclist, the biggest piece of vehicle legislation I want passed is legalized lane splitting (for low speed filtering, not dangerous highway squidding). The first step is educating people to understand it’s for safety and not “skipping to the front of the line”

It has nothing to do with the effort involved in touching my brakes, and it has nothing to do with leaving room to prevent an accident. Did you watch the traffic circle video above? Cars running up to one another and braking in slow traffic causes a chain reaction that makes traffic worse for everybody. I’m not…

Keeping a good buffer at a crawl + not activating brake lights is actually a good thing for congestion prevention, learn 2 drive plz

I always wonder what is going through the mind of the idiot driver in the highway left lane moving slowly, often under the posted speed limit, adjacent to an equally slow car with clearly visible traffic backed up behind them. Why is this very special group of motorist overrepresented by Prius’s and CR-Vs? I’d like to…

and like the FT-1 concept it probably won’t have a proper transmission. No thanks!

I had to watch this with no volume in the office but I don’t think it really matters what language the biker is using, the lady is clearly in the wrong, doesn’t care, and *keeps going* into his lane after the mistake with a smug look (“Haha, I’m a cager and you’re not!”).

You have to be a bit of a maniac to daily drive a turbocharged wankel, but NA engines can last. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want a “race car” esque vehicle as your secondary fun car, which is what any turbo 7 (FC or FD) should probably be to their owners. My RX-8 is my daily driver and I have an FD project/toy.

They were “threatened” by the Germans as equally as the Soviets. Poland was split in two for those who forgot, and was the reason why Britain declared war on Germany (but not the USSR?). They honored their pact with Poland when it suited them politically. The war being good vs. evil is a total sham, it was a political…

What is up with the strawman grays? Where are you flooding from, Jezebel? Nobody said anything about the Soviets getting a pass, but in the earlier years of the Eastern Front, the Soviets were legitimately fighting for their lives. Their women were digging trenches as the German army was 30 miles outside of Moscow and…

Yeah but how many people informed about WWII are there? Maybe 5% of the population. That’s sort of my point. The other part of my point is that this is intentional, to make America look good. Definitely more so after the Cold War really ramped up and the massive Soviet contribution to the war was (and is still to this…

Ok lets ignore the first strawman city sentence of yours, but yes you actually have a great point about the bombers themselves and I agree with that. I am not saying Germany are the good guys by any stretch but it’s safe to say the vast majority of people have a very ‘good vs evil’ perspective of WWII which is what…

Britain declared war on Germany in response to their invasion of Poland, and if you look at the casualties of the London Blitz versus what the British did to German cities you will notice a stark contrast. I see the revisionist education system is doing what it’s supposed to here. “Fighting for their lives” would be a…

But but but Germans are the bad guys!... everyone knows WWII history is black and white, good vs evil, and luftwaffe pilots were literally Hitler. They even had swastikas on their aircraft tails.

Rx8 was a fun car for me to learn on because it has a pretty difficult clutch and definitely trains you to handle any other stick. I would argue that learning on a car with a very wide biting point / very low chance of stalling is not good preparation but thats me, and I will never have the experience of learning on…

Houston is a blue city, (and Cruz won the Texas primary) so no, it’s not “Trumpland”. Nice attempt at irrelevant political grandstanding tho

AFAIK there is no law specifically pertaining to lane splitting but there is one that says motor vehicles must maintain their lane. Riders here can be cited for it by a cop legally, and on top of that there is definitely a general hostility by other motorists that makes it not worth it.

I commute to work on my motorcycle about 3/5 days a week on average and my only real takeaway from switching to a bike is that I wish lane splitting was legal (Texas). Lane splitting should definitely be legal at speeds of 20 mph or less. I’d be fine with 10 mph just so I could filter up in gridlock traffic.

I’m guessing you’re from Jezebel and devoid of detecting sarcasm
