Park Place. Oh, you didn’t want to buy a McLaren? Are you sure? But are you... suuuure?

Never lift.

I’ve been told traffic anywhere near Atlanta/Alpharetta is awful, is that true?

If you like suburban sprawl, Frisco/Plano is your jam. If you want to be urban it’s really going to depend on your politics as much as anything else. Hardcore blue-blooded liberal? You’ll be happier in Austin. Still clinging to your guns and Bible? Probably happier in Fort Worth. If you want a piece of property but…

You’re absolutely right. You all should just stay very very far away. We’re nothing but a bunch of ungrateful degenerates here with no redeeming value.

Do you feel the same sort of nostalgia for your first ride sharing company?

I suspect the last line there is quite important. It’s been known in banking for years that the first credit card to get into your wallet is likely to stay in your wallet. I wonder if ride sharing apps are the same way...

If any news piece deserved a video, it’s this one.

For a dollar, and knowing that the jeep would pretty much be parked at the school shop or trailered to the trails (or lemons??), I think my wife would be OK with it.

I’ll give you $1 for it. “Why buy a pack of bubble gum when you can get David Tracy’s torn up project jeep for less?”

I got to keep my insurance plan too! And my premiums didn’t go up! Oh wait, I guess $1000/mo isn’t the same as $250/mo... :( And $13,000 deductible isn’t the same as $3000 deductible either... :(

But pretty! Also, don’t forget that the roadway itself was build using “sealed bid” and “low bid” where contractors are incentivized to cut corners and hire the cheapest labor available by whatever means necessary. #governmentefficiency 

So it’s not so much that you “can’t future-proof” roadways, it’s that when you do improve the roads it encourages more people to crowd the area. I think this is grossly overlooked in city/highway planning surveys.

The solution to this is the same as the one Jalopnik hates beyond all else: autonomous vehicles. Send on-star style shutdown message from emergency services to the vehicle, vehicle locks doors and drives directly to the police station. Just like Minority Report.

But in that time didn’t standard of living and work opportunity in the Atlanta area increase dramatically as well? (Thus drawing more people to the area)

Good to know that I-35 sucks everywhere!

But I think that’s the key to Toyota’s success. You don’t have the DESIRE to own a Toyota, it just sort of happens. You decide you want to replace the old car, or decide that you can’t keep cramming your four teenagers into the back of your 4th gen Camaro, so you pick up a newspaper and open the auto section. The…

I appreciate your double entendre.

No wonder the auto-dimming mirror in my Saab works so well! That rule would leave my retinas permanently scarred in my untinted Subaru wagon (read: greenhouse on wheels). Though here in Texas people seem to enjoy driving with high beams on regardless of location, traffic, or conditions. Heavy fog in the middle of the…

It goes both ways. The difference is that many states already have laws requiring slow traffic to keep right. Why PDs don’t enforce it is beyond my comprehension.
