Well, we were already planning on keeping our ttrs for as long as they keep making gasoline, I suppose this is just one more reason to do that.

Def keeping my jkur till I die, I’ll do an electric conversion on it once gas goes the way of the dodo. My prediction, by 2030, the phrase “ls everything” will have been replaced by “electrify everything”.

Good thing about retrofitting an older car with either hydrogen fuel cell or batteries is you don’t get any of the new “safety and big brother” nannies. This is going to be a huge aftermarket industry I’m betting, mainly bc we won’t really have any other choice.

Govt isn’t supposed to save us from ourselves, this kind of sh1t smacks of minority report type future.

Gonna have to escape to fvcking Mars to get away from this type of bullsh1t.

Reminds me of a safety commercial that was running in cfl here a while back. They were asking people what an acceptable # of motor vehicle accident deaths was, and then showing all their friends and family after saying are you sure, and of course the answer was no, zero deaths are the only acceptable #.

The problem with that is the only way to reduce deaths, is completely abdicating personal freedom like that video rusty posted, and there’ll still be some deaths, granted fewer, but at the cost of liberty.

Life Is inherently dangerous, we all take an educated risk every time we step outside or even go down the steps to the kitchen. How did we come to be so fvcking risk averse that everyone is afraid of their own shadow?

We cannot be the land of the free w/o also being the home of the brave. Freedom is dangerous and risky.

I suppport this plan. :driving:

1 Daytona (across the street from the track) has a lot of good restaurants :yum:

Plus it’s sort of the halfway point between zoren and EW and only an hour for me and a couple hours for spoiler. :tiphat:

Seems like a good spot, or maybe viera, that’s right off 95 as well and wifey and I know of some good eats there too.

Mine is an Aukey DR02. It has the capability to add a GPS signal for speed.

:iagree:

The only possible solution is the one people don't want to talk about. You have to remove 'career politicians', institute term limits and remove all the bureaucrats and incompetent fvcks from the Federal Government (including folks on the ROAD (retired on active duty) program. IMHO, the ENTIRE Federal Government can :gtfo2:

You really don't want to know how I feel about what's going on in Foggy Bottom right now....

I disagree completely. Driving is a privilege, NOT a right. This is not about personal freedom. Just like some people should not be able to own a gun, some people shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Getting to that point in a responsible manner is the tricky part. It cannot be about financial or social status. It needs to be purely about competency; just make the damn tests actually reflect skill. Of course, there's not really a good alternative if we take away DLs from a bunch of people since the public transportation in this country is piss poor. So we're kinda past the point of no return. Maybe covid will change that since so many people are now working from home - stay there!

I know of a few that don't need a license. Those are the fools doing stupid stuff in town with many people around. What are they, just morons?

JARblue 08-31-2021 10:39 AM

Also, zero motorist deaths as a goal is just a distracting ignorant and irrelevant answer to a difficult question. It's not possible to achieve and that effort should instead be directed towards understanding the factors for motorist deaths and finding better solutions to mitigate those factors.

Fuckin extremism is so damn rampant in this country. All or nothing!! It's a stupid mindset and starting to really piss me off :mad: To the extreme mind you ;)

He just has to be worry about it being an oil burner. Tranny not shifting correctly. Failed emissions. Engine stalling when hot. Leaking power steering pump and hoses. I could go on..........
