what kind of car?

just outta curiousity...it sounds like these are illegsl under nj law....but how is it that you can walk into a shop and buy them with nothing other than cash or credit card?

golfbattery's a good dude. he won't bullshit you about anything

that's the one down the street from where kmart used to be. i've eaten there a few times in the past. nice place. that always pisses me off when the wait staff splits tips evenly. if i tip YOU then it's 'cause YOU gave me great service and earned it. not the other 27 people on staff.

bad idea

then we'll all cry "confiscation". my issue.....why didn't NICS pick this up in the first place??

patterns.

next thing ya know people are gonna be asking for safe spaces and all

while she's a nutbag, she's not stupid. she knows that she nor any president cannot do that. she's talking shit hoping that trump will back down. that said....i'm on the fence(pun intended) about the emergency thing. if he sets a precedent, it can/will be used for bad shit in the future.

in CAP we always check our vehicles the first use of each day. my leo friend is the only cop on his dept that does the same. he never takes a patrol vehicle out without a preflight.

no one checks their oil anymore

point taken.

alternators and starters fail all the time. my vornado fan just failed. my old window fan just failed. the blower motor on my waste oil heater just failed. Everything fails. those that buy a tesla just for a so-called experience......they're not true "car" people. or gearheads. the driving experience comes from turning that key and hearing/feeling 650, 750, or even 1,000hp fire up. you're strapped in, the noise gives ya a hardon. the smell of the exhaust, the adrennian rush when ya pop the throttle a couple times. the smell of burning rubber. THAT is the driving experience for a true car guy/gearhead.

less if trump doesn't win in 2020

based on lack of actual news stories this is looking less and less like the guy being an asshole and more and more like the guy keeping his livestock alive. also...i doubt the guy deliberately shot the dog in the legs. he probably just sucked

can't fiond the one I read last night....but there's this one. it insinuates no charges...... https://www.ksfy.com/content/news/Sheriff-Dog-named-Donald-Trump-wasnt-killed-over-politics-505807081.html?fbclid=IwAR3BXRV0y4Ypl2COt0o9bOEHHCmrK8PdwmtA-TKdNgD284iwfoAyclNmT-k

that is presuming that the next dimwit president doesn't give them back those subsidies

the article i read last night mentioned something about them not charging the perp. i think that's why the scums addy and number were poste.

yep. now imagine a dozen of him. then add in the normal criminal activity which will pick up as resources to deal with it are hampered......things can go sideways real fast.

the second one was actually faster than him....he tree'd the dude also I just noticed they're using a pro tree.....

i'd still run his ass. I don't care. the thrill is the race. of course it's better to win, but......well.....you get the point. demon's are supposedly 10.8 cars. the first one he eats runs low 11 second.....

here's something no one's talking about with the advent of hybrids/electrics. infrastructure maintenance. states will be losing big time fuel tax income. they're gonna hafta make that up somehow. like doing a per mile charge, which will of course require tracking your driving.

what effect did that shooter(s) have on commifornia? the whole states le was nearly paralyzed for what? 2 weeks? how about the search for frein? same thing I think.

i see a couple teslas around my shop...but then there's a tesla dealer right on rt70. i've seen 2 or 3 of the little shitbox beemer electrics, and last summer i saw 1 beemer hotrod electric. once. i get it with the feeling ya get when ya fire up that big block. i got the giggles every single time i climbed in and strapped into the shop camaro years ago. i got it every time i fired up my 12 second 89 gt years ago. but the fact is give that electric motor good current flow, and it'll pummel us in a drag race. won't sound as cool, but it'll be out front. sadly.

I don't see them being mandated. political suicide for whoever signs off on it. that said......i'd say 20-30 years max. they're making big pushes to convince us that we like them. and to be honest....given enough current flow, there's not an internal combustion engine on the road that can match the performance of an electric motor. but you've got battery issues and re-charge issues. what needs to happen with electrics is that the govt subsidies need to stop. then we'll see if the electric car companies can stand on their own.
