Yeah. Pickle all that China & Florida crazy in a dozen liters of bathtub vodka and then you start getting to Russia crazy.

I’m more concerned that we’re going to be laying a shit-ton of super high current wiring all over the place, only to move on to something else a decade later. Thinking about those towns in the northeast US with century old gas lines rupturing.

One of the things I’ve never quite understood about autonomous vehicles is that the feature is being included on cars you actually want to drive yourself. Why would I pay 80k+ for a car that I’m kinda not supposed to drive?  Is that really a selling point?

Kirkey + 5 point + HANS or GTFO

I’d bet that the majority of the readers here grew up without riding in a car seat or on a booster seat. Most of us lived.

My response to Toobin is the same I had for Charlie Rose - lay off the hormones!  Dudes in their 60's & 70's should not be so horny all the time that they can’t resist whipping it out.

You could park it in 1976 because there were 100 million fewer people in the country than there is now, and everyone didn’t own multiple cars & trucks. There was always a spot.

4th Gear:

Put a dollar in Rudy’s pocket and his phone might butt-dial a journalist so they can listen to his live security consultin’ action.

Wasn’t saying it was the worst part, just an additional “feature” that further illustrates the misery involved in the enterprise. Investors may be turned on by the fact their scam involves exploiting people with no other recourse in life but to drive their car into the ground.

It’s also been a backhanded Cash4Clunkers program, in that drivers are extracting the last $3k in value from their Saturn as part of their employment.

2nd Gear: Are you saying he, um, welched on the deal?

That’s the most galling part about the scandal. All of these kids were going to PREP SCHOOL! The entire point of the institution is to get rich kids into good schools. The sports, clubs, arts are all designed for kids who are looking to get a scholarship or at least admission to a top college. It’s the #1 topic beside…

Car registration fees have been a silly third rail in Washington politics for 25 years. The lack of a state income tax forces the state to go the Fees4Everything route to fund everything. The majority of your total vehicle registration cost will be the sum of the separate fees tacked on to the base cost. The long…

“Squatting”?  The guy is popular enough in Germany as it is without crap like this.

Bob was having a fire sale, so UMPG was the natural choice.

4th Gear: A German company led by a Swede is bound to come up some warm & fuzzy UI software.

Is he married to the Senate majority leader that has packed the courts with grossly unqualified “judges”? Does his family run a Chinese shipping firm that directly profits from knee-jerk US trade policies? Sadly, Elaine Choa isn’t the most corrupt or least qualified member of the current cabinet, but everything about…

I take it as a sign of progress that we’re at least talking about potential cabinet secretaries that actually have the qualifications for the job. Whoever the next Transportation Secretary is can’t be nearly as corrupt as the current one is (Mrs. Turtle). Several departments need to be almost completely re-staffed…

Finally, he finds something to unite us all!
