The road signage is absolute garbage, but the big elephant sitting in the side of the room is the car should have never been traveling anywhere near that speed on a public road. They would have seen that just fine if they were driving the speed limit. That’s not gatekeeping and comes from someone that ownes a Corvette.

The ownership status and knowing the limits of the car is irrelevant. Nobody should consider 150mph to be a safe speed on any public road in the USA.

And for putting up huge numbers, a year later that damn bird is your supervisor.

He’s not talking about loony money. 

I’m pretty sure they use USD figures.

How about... a minivan is just a fwd truck with sliding doors and a rear cover that can’t tow. Change my mind. Because it’s the same argument you are making... a rwd suv is the same as a front wheel drive, short nosed, unable to tow, sliding doored minivan. They are indeed different vehicle categories. What they do…

The odds of that actually being a person and not a deer on a rural South Dakota highway at night are slim but tragically not zero. Calling the authorities to investigate a suspected wildlife strike is the prudent action.

I’m always stunned by those who think direct sales would be any better than the status quo.

They are clearly contractors. By established labor law, there is no conceivable way they are employees, which is why California had to pass this special law to begin with.

I would say his reputation for “grampa rock” is also very overstated. In the early and mid 80's he was known for music like this which was a staple on the coolest shows at the time, like Miami Vice, which in turn basically set 80's fashion to what we know of today (the sports coat with t shirt, etc..). He was the targe…

Corn isn’t a good example, those oceans of corn are wind pollinated not insect pollinated.

Because people find it fun? Once you’re buying an off-roader, if you aren’t a farmer or forest service employee or logger or something, you’re already buying an impractical vehicle. 

Doesn’t make you a bad person, it just means you have no taste. Those are literally the ugliest shoes on the planet.

Like you said, we’ve seen this before, except now this is a fight for our lives. Trump wanted to get 15% of the Black vote to assure himself the election. He’s not getting that with the confederate flag talk and black ops guys kidnapping protesters off the streets, etc., so now he’s using Kanye’s sick mind to try to…

Cordless angle grinders with a cutoff wheel are a very popular bike thief tool. An inexpensive u-lock only takes a few seconds to cut through like that, and the thieves benefit greatly from the fact that most people don’t give a shit what’s happening as long as it’s not happening to them.

But by the same author?

You haven’t been here long enough. They cannot write anything positive about any BMW that is less than 15 years old. They are currently starting to warm up to the first gen X5. That one will be cool in 2035.

It still has the same safety regulations in place regardless of whether the “hood” covers an engine or a frunk. And the key fob command should be inoperative when the car is in gear and moving.

I first encountered Daniel Stern online in the early-mid 1990s on usenet in either rec.autos.driving or rec.autos.tech or one of the more specialized groups in the rec.autos hierarchy. This was before the world wide web reached any sort of significant usage level. At that time if memory serves me correctly he was…
