The lockdown simply reduced traffic levels to where they were 40+ years ago when the majority of the system was last “planned”.  Things are “working” because the system is now at <100% planned capacity, versus >200% of planned capacity.  Everyone’s a shitty driver in gridlock, because you’re in my fucking way.

I went from seeing that one Tesla around occasionally 3 years ago (and the Tesla repair van), to seeing at least one every time I drive. Of course, there is a supercharger station in the parking lot of the grocery store nearby, so my perspective could be skewed.

Neutral:  Considering how many people have managed to disable the automatic headlights on their 21st century cars, I have every expectation those same people will disable all other safety features too.

Is Hindenburg going with hydrogen vehicles instead?

Did GM intentionally design those ignition switches to be faulty? That’s the major difference with Dieselgate and so many other manufacturer sins. This wasn’t a “Fuck Up & Cover Up” situation. This was “We got caught executing a well-planned criminal scheme.”

They are collaborating on a new product: the Septiq AF

Don’t forget so incompetent he promoted Mike Tyson fights and didn’t even rip off Mike Tyson! How is that even possible? The entire point of a Mike Tyson fight was to rip off Mike Tyson.

Well, London is crawling with Russian billionaires who are always looking for ways to launder a few hundred million.

My anecdotal evidence, in the Puget Sound area, is that there is a noticeable increase in turbo spool & supercharger whine sounds I’m hearing at night. I’m just a few hundred yards from the 330' spot of an ad hoc drag strip operating on an arterial. There’s probably 30-40 a night this year, compared to maybe 5-6 in…

“Jerks” + “Illegal” ≠ “Glorifying”

Is that the one where David Carradine die when his belt slips?
