They left the flag thingies on the pitot tubes.

Have they checked the floormats to be sure they’re not getting wedged against the pedals?

But it’s not evil. It’s a quirky and weird car in a market that’s cruel to the quirky and weird. It wasn’t to my taste, necessarily, though I think a convertible would be fun to have if I lived near a beach, but I liked that VW tried to make something fun and funky.

The company founder was always talking about a final solution and we see where that got him.

we dont have everyone agreeing that the earth is a sphere, i wouldn’t hold my breath about the relationship of torque and horsepower

I suspect we’ll keep getting this story until everybody understands the relationship between the two.

What are you talking about? Northern California says “the” as well. I was in Sacramento once and asked how to get to I-80 and the guy looked like I was from the Moon. Finally he said you mean “the 80"? Why is it the? It says I-80 on the sign, this Isn’t difficult people. And anyone who is pretentious enough to think

In and around Boston we say 93, 95, rt 3, 128, 495 with no “the” before it. The only highway I can think of that is preceded by a “the” is the pike

<Truck commercials have misled me to believe these vehicles should be able to cross this terrain.

So for your minor convenience, you’re willing to overlook the illegal business practices and horrible treatment of employees. Got it.

I’m a PT Lyft driver who only drives around 10 hours/week. After deducting gas/wear & tear on my car, I estimate I earn $9/hour before taxes. There are loads of PT jobs in my area that pay far more than that, but I admit that the flexibility of going on and off the clock with a tap of my phone is a perk.

I’m pretty sure all subs can go all the way to the bottom. Coming back up on the other hand...

oh yeah he had hair

Yup, that street view confirmed my skepticism. Let’s all give this asshole a pat on the back for being mad people are driving on his private road.

Not familiar with the area but that was my take too. They changed which street looked like it should be the through street. Maybe it’s the more logical route if I’m familiar with the roads, but being the skeptic that I am, I’m betting it’s an asshole that’s pissed people are driving on “his road” and he’s made it

Manipulating the situation so some dude can get a private park in his front lawn. I’m with you. That area is also very quiet. My brother lives a half mile from there, although the main streets are quite busy the side streets see little traffic.

There is only one thing that’s missing, but it’s key: thermal management. Getting road-going electric cars to do snap necks at launch or even hadle great (due to low Center of gravity and super-precise torque vectoring) are solved engineering problems. Getting them to do that for 30 min straight without overheating

At the wheels. Which is totally feasible.

Just over a million last I checked. I need 964s and 993s to come back down to pre-insanity levels ASAP.

Can there be a special sub-category for all the shitty, stupid plates on every fucking tesla? I’ve lost track of all the predictable references to gas, electricity etc. etc.
