or maybe he’s a bird....

I do not understand why Lewis wasn’t required to give the place back on that first lap pass. every single other incident like that all season (and several seasons prior) the guy who cut the chicane had to give the place back.

lot of seeming shenanigans this season, from the silverstone punt going basically unpunished,…

source?  I would actually like to see the factual basis for your assertion.

source other than “cops say so”?  because ACAB

if the intent is to arrest the driver/occupants, at some point you have to stop the car. a helicopter is not always available to allow the pursuing cop cars to back off, nor are there 400 cop cars to seal off an area.

in some dismal dystopia all cars will have invulnerable kill switches that the cops can flip at any…

re paragraph 2: so change the stupid law

re paragraph 1: counterpoint: most of the bullshit stops are fishing expeditions so that when they pull the car over, they can assert “I Smell Pot” and search the car.  this is what is known as pretexting and is explicitly illegal everywhere, but you’ll never see a cop lose so…

dash cams and body cams should be mandatory on all cops and cop cars.
if “it was turned off” that is prima facie evidence that the cop is doing dirty and should be grounds for termination and prosecution.  

if it is a stolen plate, the receiver of the ticket can fight the ticket. no plate is legal in some states (see…

police chases over trivial shit should stop. “ooh look, his plate is expired, lets chase him!”, “ohh, a black guy in a fancy car”, “ooh, his taillight is out”, “ooh, he cali rolled that stop sign”...  send a ticket with the dashcam video and be done with it.

but this was a felony stop from the get go.  good reason to…

just about any RV is going to be better at being an RV and just about any trailer mounted tiny home is going to be better at being a tiny home.

neither will cost you $80k and require you to drive a 1999 ford box truck with 85k on the odo.

you can get a 2011ish 34 foot tiffin or fleetwood class A RV with ~20k on the odo…

technically it is anything north of the westchester/putnam county line or on the wrong side of the hudson. basically anything that makes commuting to the city (to new yorkers there is only one city) more painful than a 45 minute ride on metro north.

why does it make me all tingly down there?  especially in red.

anything small and english. MGB, Midget, TR6, Spitfire, Mini, Sunbeam doesn’t matter.

the mechanicals are dirt simple and easy to access. The Dark Lord, Darth Lucas, will ensure you learn electrics. they are light and small (easy to push, lift and store even in a small garage). most of all, they are 100% fun all the…

I don’t care how many horsepower it has, it still couldn’t outrun the ugly.

no, they wouldn’t.

all corporate income taxes in the US total (on average) less than $300B/year

us businesses generate ~$20T in revenue every year. that means they pay about 1.5% of total revenues in taxes every year (collectively). many gigantic companies (cough amazon, google, apple) pay effectively $0 in taxes…

no fault == your fault.

the biggest scam the insurance companies ever managed to pull. saved them billions in lawyer fees, reduced payouts by hundreds of billions, raised rates by hundreds of billions.

it is not any less safe than the previous car. they are now reducing scores based on not having autobraking and OnStar type features. it was the 14% on the accident notification services that really drove the score down.

the * ratings are a moving target every year and the exact same car that got 5 stars a year ago…

companies should be taxed on revenue, not profit. profit is too easy to manipulate.

the classic move is for a company to sell its IP to an offshore company, then pay all margin above break even as an “IP Licensing Fee” to the offshore thereby netting $0 profit.

sadly there will probably be a VW fanboi bidding war that will drive this thing up to $27K then in a few months we will see it set up as an overlanding “westie-doka” driven by a waxed handlebar mustachio’d patchouli stinking hipster with curated ripped jeans and a spicoli knockoff drug rug and slip on checkerboard…

how, exactly, is one supposed to pronounce that alphabet soup of a name?

die-you-nurse-T?

3rd gear: are we all just taking Nissan/Japan’s word that Ghosn was corrupt and fleecing Nissan now? IIRC there were a lot of shenanigans called when the story first broke calling into question the credibility of the accusations....

I mean yeah, he fled the country, but you would too given the apparently indefinite…
