But traffic laws and traffic tickets aren’t that black and white. “Audible tire noise” is a ticket in many jurisdictions. That doesn’t mean you are squealing your tires - that would be exhibition of speed. Just cold tires making a whistling sound when you take a u-turn is enough to get a ticket.

So, so many wonderful cars that are locked away and never driven. Tens of thousands, easily, just in the US alone.

So it’s going to propel him a mile in the air (5,280 feet), but he’s going to achieve an altitude of only 1,800 feet.

I walked in to a dealer, to buy a car that was on a five month wait list. This was in September, the model year was sold out by December. Zero on the showroom floor. You can bet I paid MSRP, there was zero room to haggle.

Lol you are so wrong. Sure, someone who inherited tens of millions or more won’t care. But people who make their own money - lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs? They are the cheapest people you would care to meet. A friend of mine who is the biggest die hard BMW fan on the planet was just shopping for two new cars. Cheap…

One EMP event wouldn’t knock out power to 200 million people. That would take a whole series, and of very powerful bombs. Even then, it’s not at all clear that the damage would be of the kind that would take days to repair.

Making a flightless bird plummet to its death in terror and die painfully.

According to noted expert on everything Jeremy Clarkson, it wasn’t the long fall that killed them.

Dale Jr was born in to a difficult position - dad is an icon, and he has talent and interest in the same field.

...edit: never mind.

Pure speculation: small children are fragile. Neck bones are small, internal organs are easily injured, etc.

Blaming the parents? The parents who let a child too young to understand the risk to take an extraordinary, unusual risk that 99.999% of children are not exposed to?
Why yes. Yes, I do blame the parents.

Wow! I didn’t realize it was that much. Very cool point, madam.

So much this. No replacement for displacement - so linear, so little NVH. V8s in cars and V4s in bikes, yes please.

The F-Type is the best pick here. It really has such perfect lines, pictures don’t do it justice. Jaguar is so good at getting to the essence of a sexy car, and they did it here as well as they did with the E-type.

A shame the E63 doesn’t have the third row seating of the E350.

Or you could just buy an E550 and get all of that plus great reliability.

I liked these until I rode in one.

Rotary phones taught us how to treat a woman:

Some years ago (early 2000s) I dived in to the available data on fatal motorcycle accidents, which was pretty comprehensive: freeway or local, primary cause, experience level of rider, intoxication.
As you would expect, big factors were riding a bike you’re not familiar with, intoxication, and older/inexperienced combo…
