Yeah my whole point is almost every road speed limit is low. I get it in town, traffic flow management, stuff like that. But in this case, was it at some time the road was empty? Was it that bad? Clearly he got pulled over as opposed to wrecking and dying.

No, but faraging, on the other hand....

I still can’t believe how many alleged driving enthusiasts on here believe this crap. Sigh.

Yes. Apparently these cops were asleep during the talk.

What exactly is wrong with this article?

Do you remember Dr Demento? Sure, we all do!

“You will not be able to see his eyes because of the Tea-Shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can’t find a rape victim.”

Um it would appear COTD was awarded prematurely today.

“Pretty sure” is probably not good enough to justify comments, though it does reflect the partial accuracy of your screen name.

Yeah my first exposure (such as it is, I live under an assortment of rocks) was in Excellence actually.

So since divide by 2 and add 7 kind of breaks down when you reach this calcified muppet’s age, I propose a secondary check: Are you older than her mother.

Don’t worry

You are correct. The one Ford I had lunched its (automatic) transmission at 80000 miles. It cost an under-engineered arm and an under-engineered leg.

Reality will be the final arbiter.

See my edit, I realized it wasn’t too clear. Basically in the area of emissions/mileage the targets keep moving, it’s never enough just to have things be clean enough (or safe enough, or what have you). There is so much extra junk on modern cars it’s just ridiculous. Sure they are safer but also far heavier etc, which…

“But it’s abundantly clear that Dieselgate has torpedoed diesel passenger cars in America not just for VW, but probably for every automaker too.”

No, The Government did that.

Edit: For clarity: By this I mean through ever-increasing/unrealistic/unnecessary levels of emissions controls. I realized after posting that it…

“According to a 2015 NHTSA study (PDF), it took test subjects anywhere from three to 17 seconds to regain control of a semi-autonomous vehicle when alerted that the car was no longer under the computer’s control. At 65 mph, that’s between 100 feet and quarter-mile traveled by a vehicle effectively under no one’s…

Came here to say this, absolutely.

Crack pipe because it’s going to be a lot more money than that in the first 3 months guaranteed.

I’d still hit it all day long though.

“no-one who doesn’t have connections can even buy one” preach it brother. Back in the day there were “Normals” and “Supers” and S for Super MEANT something. The transition could be observed in Excellence classifieds (probably can still be, online) - I remember they were ordered chronologically, and the old cars would…
