1st gear: Real common sense would be for us & Europe to have the same emissions standards.

Synchronizing the Federal emissions standards with the CARB benchmark makes perfect sense. The California program has been wildly successful, and has driven the development and adoption of clean emissions technologies worldwide. IIRC, something like ten states have already mandated that their standards match the…

I don’t think that’s crud so much as what an intercooler looks like after 100k+ miles of rocks flung at it. 

Also it’s really inefficient when compared to newer planes. There’s really no certified upgrade path for new engines, either, so you can’t just swap in an LS and call it a day.

I test-drove one and it was AWFUL to get in and out of.

An American wagon for $3500? NP. Maybe you can even have the owner “defund” his asking price to an even $3k. The cloudy headlamps can be dealt with and a couple hundred bucks for a good detail would make this a decent and roomy second car.

Yesssss, I was going to post this but I’m glad someone else got there first. Restores some of my faith in humanity. Also, Douglas Adams totally called that shit way the hell back in 1979!

The light pollution story seems to all stem from the Daily Mail who are well known for making up shit just to incite anti EU anger in their readers.

The Daily…

Did you just sputter out $4550...?! For a fucking hood ornament?!

I blame Snake Plissken!

I’m in favor of a targeted law banning the illuminated Mercedes star and sending everyone who ordered a Benz with one to jail for at least 18 months for outrageous and flagrant douchebaggery.

But if we don’t get angry assuming they’re ridiculous and petty, what are going to get angry about!?!?!?

Neutral: CNN summed the debate up perfectly - one pundit literally called it a shitshow, another called it a hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a trainwreck. And I think they undersold it. I can’t blame the moderator - the only way to control Trump would be to have a remotely controlled cattle prod up his ass.…
