You’re my new favorite person.

This sounds like a well researched creepy pasta that someone re-purposed into a Nigerian email scam as a joke, but was then picked up by actual scammers.

Nah, it was the NHRA.

That’s the most solid way to accomplish things, and a few CCW cases are on their docket that would address that. A quicker solution would be to have a sympathetic Congress pass the law and force the President to decide whether or not to veto it.

I would have offered up the Saudis or Qataris personally, but Iran is certainly more overt about it.

That would be nice if the entire nation could get them, and there was reciprocity so you could actually carry nationwide. Why the Republican Congress hasn’t done that instead of symbolically repealing Obamacare for the 1000th time, I don’t know.

I don’t see how anything but disengaging is a viable solution.

The Democrats are taking a lot of risks this year. First they go after gun owners like it’s 1994. Now they’re declaring war on the car hobby. They’ve also pissed off everyone living in coal country with previous EPA regulations. At this rate, the only thing keeping them viable is the repulsiveness of the Republican…

Unaccountable federal agency unilaterally changing the interpretation of laws that effect the hobby and lifestyle of millions?

As much as I love that rant, Chewie doesn’t live on Endor. He’s from Kashyyyk and lives on the Millenium Falcon, so I’m convicting, dammit!

More room for all the crap cops carry now. Most highway patrol cars have AEDs, well equipped med kits, plus a rifle, body armor, and all sorts of other stuff.

To be fair, those are beyond the control of the railroad. If this latest accident was caused by signalling problems, then the responsibility is their’s alone.

I don’t think that thing could get a running start if it needed one.

Two of my coworkers have them and, amazingly, like them. I’m not sure why.

Came for this comment, wasn’t disappointed.

The G1000 pretty much owns the market these days. Garmin did a great job making the system modular and adding all the features a private pilot could ask for, and then some.

My first job out of college was with an avionics company. Most of the processors they used were state of the art in the early-to-mid 90's for this very reason. Those processors were proven reliable over tens of thousands of hours and widely varying temperature conditions, which was way more important than processing…

They’ve been around long enough that VW has worked the major bugs out of them. Just be sure to change the transmission fluid (I think that’s what it’s referred to as - they have liquid cooled clutches) when required. That’s an expensive service, but it’s really expensive if you don’t and the trans fails.

On the early ones, closing the trunk hard left a mark on the bumper cover. Mopar quality!

Well, that sucks badly for them. I still think they should have restricted the MultiAir to a special fuel economy edition, like Ford’s 1.0L I-3 Ecoboost is, and pushed ahead the 2.4L, but I understand the logic a bit better now.
