Wat is it about the Fit that makes everyone that has one an evangelist for them?

You drive a Honda fit. Why do you work in Auto journalism?

People are dying, factories have ground to a halt, but at least Nissan is keeping its eye on the prize: launching a new generation of its Nissan Rogue crossover in the autumn.

“As some states put strict social distancing orders in place, others were business as usual, and for us, that meant truck sales continued,” a GM spokeswoman said.

Seriously. This asshole still has a platform to spew BS that he knows nothing about. Listen to Dr. Fauci, not Elon Musk.

Elon Musk can go fuck himself. 

Nope, this doesn’t really happen. We have 85 mph limits here in Texas and a good portion go exactly that or slightly below. 85 is fucking fast for a public road, you don’t have a lot of people trying to push 90-95.

It’s because the speed limit in their entire state is 7

Just remove limits and people will drive the safest speed.

80 seems to be a reasonable natural limit because for most cars any faster and economy tanks and the sensation of speed is heightened.

If it helps any, we hate our insurance.

Upside-down on a snowy road, which appears to be too small to have a 75mph limit.

Speed does NOT kill. This is a myth promulgated by the insurance industry to line their own pockets and the mommies because they know everything.

That old myth. The only reason that if the speed limit goes up 10mph and everyone then goes 10mph faster is if the speed limit were grossly (like 30mph) under posted (below the 85th percentile speed).

My first thought as well. I hate evidence free speculation like this, it reeks of politics. 

As always the “speed kills” people play with the numbers. Since absolute numbers are being used and rates are not give we can count on the rate having gone down or stayed the same.

Police did not identify speed as a primary factor in any of the 14 fatal crashes on 75 mph freeways in 2018

“The cars are way better than they used to be — better braking, better handling, better from an overall safety perspective.”

Interesting. Utah was one of the first states to do an 80 mph limit and the data showed almost none of what this study found. Marginal changes in speeding or injuries and people, for the most part, still just drive 80.
