Considering how invasive it is now, there is not much as a consumer, my total policy discount is only $160 based on my record (which I am currently rated 94/100 in the app) so it’s about $25 a month in savings. I don’t think that’s really worth having Corporate Big Brother in my car.


For reference: When I signed up,…

I just checked my State Farm ‘Drive Safe and Save’ app, and yup ‘Phone Use’ is a metric on my scorecard, as well as speed checks against posted limits.

I almost feel bad for Laughlin, because she is clearly being used as the Anvil for the Prosecutors hammer. If they can nail her with a huge penalty (be it jail time, fine, etc) then the subsequent cases will go much more easily as the bar will be set as to : how fucked you are if you have been indicted for this.

There are three, absolutely, pivotal moments in my sports history as a Dallas resident:

The Mothers Day Massacre of the Lakers in 2011.

The Strike Out Looking of Alex Rodriguez by Neftali Feliz to send the Rangers to the world series in 2010.

Being there for Adrian Beltre’s 3000th Hit

Love Dirk, love the Mavs. Tuesday…

Amazing news, I’ve been on the Motor Trend Network bandwagon since it’s launch and have never regretted it.

Long Live Final Gear.

I completely agree, I 35 through austin should be obliterated, or scaled down and massively tolled.

Although I am very on the fence about I345, I understand the neighborhood problems it’s caused, but damn if a world without it trying to merge 30W to 75N or 45N to 75N looks pretty horrible. 

Oh god, a bunch of gamer man-bois are mad and leaving fake reviews. I’m so perturbed!

AF1 Racing from Austin also took one of the Energica Ego electric super bikes out there and made passes. I think they were getting to the mid 160's on it. 

This is actually the best answer. Top speed is meaningless, even Bugatti and Koenigsegg have sort of stopped pushing that envelope.

Gas cars catch on fire all the time and parking lots don’t go up. wtf are you talking about?

Great article Parker, and congrats ‘surviving’ the end of the Race.

There is probably some statistics and margins of safety of their vehicles super structures involved. This number probably gives them the best chance to meet that 0 fatality number.

It would be easier for a road course series to mask the speeds with close angle shots of the cars, but I don’t think you could hide lower corner entry speeds. The last few seasons of F1 have had ridiculous cornering speeds, if something drastically reduced those, i believe it would be very noticeable.

The perception of a speed difference between 185mph and 165mph is almost impossible to see when watching in person or on TV. The speed issue has to do with F1 self image, they want to be seen as the top class in motor racing with speed as the raw measure, harrumpf I say

Come on David, you can’t seriously be thinking of ‘rebuilding’ the frame in the sections where it has returned to the earth? This thing is dead, bury it, and use any ‘salvageable’ parts on one of your other awesome jeeps. 

I had no idea what the Manga was about, I went in with no expectations and really enjoyed it, so did my Wife.

“There’s a real struggle now between developers and the business people… Strategic decisions are being driven by the finance group.”

Blizzard is done if this is the case. 

Good to hear about the infotainment updates, the basic system that was in my friends 2016 SR5 was awful, the upgraded version in his TRD off road is much improved.

Life immitates art, the Chevy trucks of this generation look like straight out of Call of Duty. 

I am extremely interested in this 7.3 Gas v8. For a company that long abandoned the traditional v8 architecture to go back for an ‘all new’ design in 2020 in intriguing.
