Agreed.. Jason’s comment “If we assume that this wasn’t a deliberate act of destructive insanity...” is not a good assumption. Putting the accelerator to the floor and not paying attention is essentially insanity. This person was either incapacitated, in mental or physical distress, or on drugs/alcohol. Not sure what…

Get out of here with your crazy science terms!

Even more strange is that he’s just strolling about after the police arrive. Hit and run is a crime, last time I checked?

I scrolled down here to post some snarky comment about the F-35 being a flop, but it’s really just not fun anymore.

I go by the same philosophy (my car is old). For some newer cars though, parts of the car itself are valuable. I had a family member whose newer Civic was broken into several times and they stole stuff like airbags and other expensive replacement parts.

Unless you’ve got a frunk!

While I’ll probably always keep buying used cars, I agree with you. There is no universally correct answer to buying new vs used cars, it’s all about personal preference.

Yeah, financing a brand new car is enough of a challenge for many middle-class households... makes no sense to add car payments and higher insurance at a time of the year when budgets are already strung out from buying other gifts and travelling.

Sadly, people have long been quick to burn money on perceived shortcuts to fitness. Peloton just joins the endless list of other gimmicky home exercise devices that people will just buy and use to collect dust. People think some fancy gadget will make it easier for them to get off the couch and excise... the reality…

Yeah.. that much money will get you a solid road bike, which can give an equally good workout AND actually take you places! All with no subscription fee. For motivation/socialization, join a cycling group instead of having some rando yell at you through an ipad strapped to the bike.

Yeah, I think that’s part of his appeal to his fanboys (and gals). That awkward, rambling style of public speaking makes him seem super relatable to people

This thing is barely big enough to be a crossover.

This is actually a thing? Everything is highly proprietary in my field, so this has never crossed my mind. I would have assumed most companies have policies to protect their data.

I’m with ya. Reclining really only works if the majority of the plane is reclined to sleep.

This is clearly a mustang. Look at those mustang tail light stickers!

If only it were that easy... it really depends on the airport and the times of your arrival and departure. Hotels near airports book up fast, so you’ll either pay extra for a premium room or have to make a long trip away from the airport.

Yeah, and with these long loans, people are probably getting “underwater” on their loans - owing more than the vehicle is worth due to depreciation outpacing the loan principle payments.

Yeah, agreed. “Autonomous” is this context is almost a bit unnerving. As if to suggest the suit might suddenly decide that taking a bathroom break is boring, and instead it wants to kick the door down and pick up a heavy box.

Had the same thought... those boards came probably less than a foot from slicing open the driver side door and he just keeps cruising.

The cars are probably acquired at random to ensure they are representative of the average production model (from a statistical perspective and to make sure the manufacturer doesn’t try to cheat). Therefore would have already been painted and made ready for sale just like any other car.
