What kills me about many fog light implementations these days is that they can’t be turned on independent of the headlights, which means they really are just additional driving lights that let others know your headlights are dipped.

Even my 70s bike with racing headers is demure at idle and pretty polite when puttering around a neighbourhood.

Most vehicle fires here happen because brakes overheat going down steep grades.

Didn’t know we were calling PID control ‘smart’ or ‘AI’.

Automakers are expanding their offering of vehicles containing a passenger display screen despite the feature being classified as “not necessary” by vehicle owners

You woke up this morning and chose violence. Hilarious violence.

I mean, I don’t disagree about that, but also:

His sons recommended Vance.

It’s a modest pile of hat

Most of the red flags I see are scammers selling something too good to be true. Is it a very terse ad with a 60s Vespa in beautiful cosmetic shape for $1k? Scam. Is it a pair of NOS 996 headlights for $500? Scam.

I know you are all gonna flame me in the comments for being a cuck or a fool or whatever. Just remember, I don’t care and I’m only 27.

And now they don’t. It’d be nice if they did. I liked it and wanted to buy one.

If a driver accelerates into a motorcyclist, killing them, they should lose their licence (pending a reasonable investigation) along with the potential for criminal prosecution. We have all the data we need from the FSD’s recordings that the software is faulty and should ‘lose its licence’, as now we have the same

I want to say “I could fix him”, but in reality, “he could make me worse...”

They kindly lead out of the state, which is all I could ask.

Out of curiosity I had to look up what the safety inspection criteria are in Texas, and there’s practically nothing there. Nothing about the vehicle frame or body, and the brakes inspection is ‘brake system’, not calling out pads or rotors or shoes. Not like it’s going to matter now that Abbot has signed a law ending

Sure, the national speed limit is 60mph on A roads, but you’re lucky if you can go that fast without rattling your teeth out of your head.

Correct. Maryland is lousy with potholes, people going straight from right-hand-turn-only lanes, and the cars don’t have to undergo a safety inspection except during sale. This means you have wildly-unsafe, rotted-out, rolling coffins with bald tyres and dead brake lights rocketing around at 20 over the speed limit.

Mauer’s statement is about vehicle volume, not necessarily mass. The new cars are objectively much larger. I prefer the smaller form factors of the older 911s, myself, even if their masses are similar and the older ones’ power output is lower.

Objectively correct take
