Same. I purposely save TST’s for Friday afternoons when I know my commute is the longest all week.

This, but Vinny

1000%. While Musk is shooting for the moon with AV’s, the “landing among the stars” might be other automakers having a system that is bulletproof on interstates.

On the topic of mods in general:

our society needs some sort of consequence for being *this* misleading. Like each time Elon talks about how close X technology is, and he misses the mark, he has to get kicked in the crotch by Adam Vinateri.

yeah, but who isn’t? I’m talking more about being a pyramid/pump & dump scheme.

Just because they only sell used doesn’t mean they aren’t in competition in with new dealers. And the lobby can probably find channels to make things obtuse for them, if indirectly.

This seems like the sort of Small Illegal Thing you use to catch someone doing a Big Illegal Thing.

Awesome story David, although the stories about the borders beg the question:

1. Depending on where you drive, this is a reach. I live in a major city where highway speed maxes out at maybe 65, not because that’s the posted speed limit, but because the number of cars on the road prevents anything faster. The Covid lockdowns were a brilliant exercise in this because of how many more accidents…

I think “keeping up with traffic” is meant to get people to understand that going significantly slower than the rest of the cars on the road is quite dangerous, even if it isn’t as dangerous as going significantly faster. Driving slower is a reflex for when the phrase “be careful” pops into your head for good reason,…

Definitely. The Camaro guy would probably still get infractions for everything that happened up until you made contact, but everything after that would be on you.

What year was it? The general consensus I’ve read was that after the 1st or 2nd MY, they got a digital tune that straightened out the torque curve. The mid-revs were the problem, not the top end. 

1st Gear: Dolt 45's administration is an obvious scapegoat for a lot of regulatory shortcomings. However, I vaguely remember reading a few years ago, either here or somewhere else, that the main reason we haven’t seen any regulation, particularly ruling on who is at fault when an AV crashes*, is because after…

That was the point of my disclaimer about the loans being subprime and car loans not being as massive as the mortgage market.

Meh, this is the same company that has been putting dogshit Getrag transmissions in the Mustang for 10 years.

3rd:

Along with the price, I actually blame the insanely long teaser schedule for a lot of it. That super bowl commercial where Seinfeld and Leno fight over the keys to the first NSX came out *4* years before you could even buy one. The best media teams in the world can’t keep a hype train going for that long. By the time…

That’s exactly it. Anything north of $100k for a car is basically “Fuck You” money. And if you have “Fuck You” money, you are spending more than that.

All these enhancements mean the NSX Type S starts $12,000 more than the regular NSX.
