These are most excellent

My last 3 rental cars in europe have had an alarm sound when I am speeding. I suspect the rental company knows about it already. Wasn’t Hertz logging a lot of user data, maybe with an in cabin camera as well?

Yeah I drive a Mazda 6 that has spatial variability in the rear windshield. I really only notice it occasionally in the rear view mirror out of the corner of my eye, but for a long time it really bugged me. Now I’m used to it and it doesnt bug me when a car license plate distorts into a nonrectangle

Economics = Peace

Wooooo we might get a chance to pay a bunch of extra money for fancified Citroens! I think I’d rather just have Citroen come to america and maybe squeek the DS’s in as a premium trim level or something

Yeah, I don’t know about that part. He is accelerating at <1G and F1 cars do >1G

I bet red with speed stripes would be even faster!

He kind of did. Not to say it would have happened without him but I do think some of the descriptions of him are a bit out of line with the work he has done and the work others have done for the companies.

Sweet sweet anodized cooling fins for 1-2 electric motors would be my guess. They could even offer a 3-WD version just to be weird and eccentric because there’s not enough strange about a wood framed hybrid or electric car.

Mmm I miss interlodges.

I had a friend who worked at a place that served fried chicken, I don’t think he touched food ever because he was in maintenance or somesuch role. Anyway he told me he had a routine of showing up to work, clocking in, and getting a fried breast and either a wing or drumstick from his friends at the counter. Then he…

Half way down. Right side. White.

That red bull truck looks like it’s having so much fun

Nah, that’s just being thoughtful and knowing their size for a gift. Sometime. Whenever you get around to buying them gifts. Or something.
