“California Emission” was the punchline to many a Johnny Carson smog-is-so-bad-in-LA joke in the 70's. The smog was real, and the multi-faceted approach to dealing with it over the decades actually did make a difference. However, Smog in LA jokes are still evergreen.

Bet that reef is now expecting a chunk of the insurance payout. It’s a classic maritime scam.

...with a bent frame that makes it wiggle on launch. Dude doesn’t get enough credit for his driving skills.

You’re doing great!  You’ve made positive changes in your life that are now allowing you to see some new challenges to overcome. Success begets success, and you are on a winning streak.

None of those venerable safety measures you mention take control of the vehicle away from the driver while in motion. They make the vehicle safer for the driver to operate or survive collisions. Removing throttle and steering control from the operator is dangerous at highway speeds.

Unprofessional?  You can always request a refund.

It’s a shame The Motorboating Sloths had to cancel this year’s “Two Fingers of Metal” tour.

Neutral + Reverse:

Maybe Tesla just told him they wouldn’t pay for it to cover up their lack of replacement parts. Can’t exactly pick this stuff up at your local O’Reilly’s.

Corporate rebrandings are profitable for the consultants who are hired to execute them, but few others, so maybe Adam is trying to create some new work for himself?

He sounds as much like an American as my Nth-generation ass is.

Visit OKC and the surrounding areas.  It will change your perspective on how bad your roads are.  This will be the only benefit of your visit.
