If I hadn’t already written COTD for today, this would be a strong contender

HAFO - Horse around and find out.

I mean that’s patently wrong and it is completely legal in many states to exceed the speed limit while passing:

The .gif at the top makes it look like it’s twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

The 10 mile over limit gives room for passing on 2 lane roads, which need to be done as expeditiously as possible.

There’s no reason you should exceed the speed limit? Really? Remember this would be limited to only new cars sold, so all the cars on the road already won’t have it. Traffic on highways easily flows at 10 over in many places, if you have the random one out of 100 cars going 60 when everyone else is going 70-75 that’s

Question: what happens if the GPS confuses being on the highway with, say, being on a frontage road? I get that it can check against posted signs, but if you’re in heavy traffic, the camera might not be able to see the signs.  

There isn’t any reason why you should need to exceed the posted limit on any public road.” Bullshit. There are significant portions of the country where the speed limits are ridiculously low, at least on the limited-access highways. Like all of Nassau and Suffolk County, NY, for instance (55 mph). I’m sure there are

So, penalize people that can’t afford new cars even more? We have an ‘07 and ‘13 and neither of us drive crazy or have any real infractions, so why should I pay more for insurance just because some cars are speed capped and ours aren’t?

Depending on the set-up and how busy the gas station is I will definitely park at the pump if I don’t need gas.

When you thought you were stealing a Mustang...

Sheesh! You mention reynolds, but utterly fail to recognise that those sharp edges will detach the flow instantly, and that completely flat surfaces are bad for aerodymics. There is a reason our props (planes, rotorcraft, and boats) aren’t flat.

You and Steve Winslow seem to have a style so very much alike.

Flat surfaces and hard edges are bad for aerodynamics. There is no way around it. So are panel gaps. The winter is probably hurting the range but the car is also gigantic. 

It exists to prove the people who said it was a stupid idea wrong. Unfortunately, its existence provides incontrovertible evidence that it was a stupid idea.

Shocking!

Gosh, that’s “awful”. Given how huge, cumbersome, and unnecessary the Origami Truck is, I hope owners aren’t expecting sympathy from me.

Turns out not everyone lives near local places or can afford them. Sorry we are all not like you and can afford that luxury.

The penalty on this is going to be insane.”

Assuming they are in the US.

The stupid part is it doesn’t even matter.”

Unless they are just testing the fences for the general election.
