Classic cars will one day soon be the new china dish sets.

I deleted my twitter account on Nov 9th, 2016 and haven’t missed it for a second. I’m planning a complete social media sabbatical from FB and IG at the start of 2018 for one month and see how that goes. I think FB has some value for keeping up with family and friends, but I suspect I won’t miss it at all.

You touched on another, perhaps more serious issue: overriding safety protocols that prevent collisions in hyperspace

My wife taught me this and it works amazingly well:

My first time riding out to LA I swore I’d never lane-split. I changed my mind within the first 10 minutes idling in traffic while other bikes sped past me.

I’m vexed by your argument. Having lived in many countries I no way in hell want to turn American streets into some crowded, noisy metropolis the likes of Rome, Paris, Bangkok or Delhi. Driving in those places, be it on 2 wheels or 4, sucks hot, dry donkey nuts.

I want this same video for so many more sportscars... all the sportscars.

Prefacing my ask with a note that I know it’s boring but practical: as the otherwise very happy owner of a 2015 RRS, can you please spend some time with the Nav and infotainment system? The one in mine is so slow and antiquated as to be unusable outside of phone and radio.

Ages are usually best coined in hindsight. With that in mind, I think we may be in the last generation of true manual cars. Within the next 10-15 years may see the leap to full automation take hold and manually operated vehicles being left to hobbyists like the horse and buggy before it.

The Art Walk downtown on first Fridays can be fun - there’s a gallery/event space called UnExpected nearby that usually throws sometimes wild costume-friendly parties. Some of the local burner community hangs out there, as well as you can see and hang out in some of the Playa cars when, you know, they aren’t at…

I think he also has a house to sell

And yet somehow,as bad as that is, it still looks 1000x better than any SUV Lincoln makes

I think that’s right. I always hated my own ‘84 LeBaron - but for $2,000 in 1989 I made the most of it for a year or two while rebuilding another weird ride - a 150cc 1974 Armacci “Harley Davidson” motorcycle a friend of mine found rotting away in a garage.

I saw a yellow one of these about 4 years ago in phoenix in the parking lot of a spring training game. The thing was as mint as if it just rolled out of the dealer or a portal in the space-time continuum to the Reagan administration.

I have a 2016 MB and this “Take a break” feature came on about 90 minutes into a road trip. I didn’t get the sense that it read my facial features though, as much as it came on after a long spell of uninterrupted driving. I was definitely not dosing off and, if I had to say, I probably looked much more sleepy leaving…

This is the first thing i noticed in that image, as well. It’s a wonder how this shot made the final cut for publication.

While I love anyone looking to push the boundaries in technology, and think we really need to be investing in the infrastructure of the next 100 years now, I can’t help but feel this has the makings of a modern day Monorail:

This was first announced in 2008? Wow. Didn’t Telsa announce in 2012?

Oh good! Thanks for clarifying

Err. What I am missing here? As a resident of Brooklyn, NY, I have to say that living in the city, with streets jammed full of cars and relatively few trees per sq. mile, you are in a canyon of pollution.
