You say his accomplishment is small, I disagree. Who else has created a sports car that remains popular, nearly unchanged, and still competitive after 50 years of automotive evolution? #wheels

Thanks for making more Se7ens, and making them better. If only we could all make contributions like you did. I hope you were on fire and backwards as you slid through Heaven's gates. #wheels

Seriously, these are the guys who tried to ban black paint. Nothing they do will ever surprise me after that. I hope someone slaps some sense into their regulatory rediculousness. #wheels

For example you might tell someone," my car uses 60,456,239,345,345,789,735,827 electrons per mile".
It could also be the inverse, as in Miles per Electron, or MPE. The numbers would look really bad though.

I personally don't care if it makes their life a bit difficult, I don't care if it makes the garages not want to service the car.
Drink driving kills, sometimes the victim is the criminal who drove drunk, but most often it's a innocent victim, a child out walking, a family in another car, someone asleep in bed when the driver crashed into their home.
Is anyones life worth sacrificing so you can have a drink? If you answer yes, your an A+ arsehole.
To the person commenting below about 'buzzed driving' not being so bad. I hope you rot in hell tormented by the sould of everyone killed by so called 'buzzed' drivers.
I've seen / felt / been affected personally by the aftermath of a drunk driver, and I think if you even have 'just one beer will be ok' you're dead wrong. It's just not worth the price.
If you want to drink you go for it, no problem with that, I enjoy a good drinking session myself, but I always arrange transport, either a designated driver, book a taxi, or arrange a place to stay near within walking distance of where I'm drinking (Or if at a friends house, just kip on the sofa)
Sorry if I'm going overboard here, I love cars, I love reading Jalopnik, and I do like a drink. I'm not a party pooper, but as I mentioned I've had someone very close to me lost due to some idiotic person thinking that one more beer would be ok. One beer = the end of a very special life? How does that even begin to make sense.
So take your damn 'buzzzed is ok' statements, or defense of drink drivers, or 'well it's ok, everyone else does it' and shove it up your arse.

I’ve been hearing this on the radio lately "buzzed driving is drunk driving". This statement is false, and would say buzzed drivers may actually be more careful, because they are so paranoid about getting caught. The DUI laws as currently administered are not there for protection of the public, but instead exist as gimmick to raise revenue for the state. Driving under the influence is a fact of life and I bet this device will be defeated one way or another. It is really just a method to erode liberties of the innocent for the false gain of safety in society.
The best way to deal with driving under the influence is to raise the blood threshold DUI level from 0.08, to something more reasonable like 0.15 or 0.20, and then actually punish those who drive their cars in an intoxicated dangerous state by seizing property, or working on a chain gang during weekends for a year. For those who injure or kill the innocent while under the influence, the price would be even higher. But punishment should be done after the fact, not before, because before long everyone will be required to breathe before they drive, from the raging drunk to the Baptist grandma who never touched a drop, since after all, "if we can just save one life isn’t it worth it." I say no.
Also another thought, our constitution give us the right to not to incriminate ourselves; a blood alcohol test or blood test does that, if administered against our will.

When I was a kid there was guy in a nearby community that was involved in a massive road accident that had a alcohol level of 0.46%, and then in the same story it mentioned a woman who was in a head on collision several weeks earlier who had a 0.54% blood alcohol content. The officer couldn’t believe the woman was even standing, much less alive as most folks go into a coma at 0.40%.
