Oh yeah, I was just providing an explanation for where the $4,000 comes from. The only damage (at least claimed in the news report) is tires and brakes. So, teacher guy will be buying him new tires and brakes (as he should) and the Supra will be just fine. The dollar figure is probably from the highest estimate… Read more

The video in the news report says that its tires and brakes. The video provided by the Turo guy shows that yeah, the car was raced, but the tires still had life left in them. My guess is he went and got quotes for new tires and brakes then chose one of the quotes to give to the news. Read more

Sounds like my conures, just scaled up. lol My birds tried chewing through the tailgate in my living room and shaved the trim off of a wall. I’ve had to bird-proof the place while I see if I can train it out of them. Read more

I got all huffed up about it too then realized that since the movie takes place in a different reality and slightly in the future, there are some weird assumptions: Read more

I want to know who is paying the taxes on this thing. Even inexpensive cars like a Corolla given as a gift can incur a hefty tax bill. Looking at you, Oprah! Read more

In my town, the unprotected bicycle “lanes” are little more than pictures of bicycles on the side of the road. These are local roads with speed limits of 50 mph that are also truck routes. Small gravel shoulders, too, of course. Read more

Yep yep, the Frontier and Spirit model only work if you’re carrying nothing more than the tiny allowed personal item. Then it gets sort of ridiculous because you can fly somewhere pretty far for like $35. Read more

Back when I started this series, I thought my list would be ten vehicles. Then I discovered that doing research on ten often obscure cars was going to take too long, so I backed to down to seven before settling on nine. Read more

I feel like Chicago is a weird location for this. The city is not fond of civilian helicopters (and I suppose by extension, these eVTOLs) landing in downtown proper, so Vertiport Chicago is one of the closest hubs for a number of Chicago’s civilian helicopter operations. Going on a helicopter-based sightseeing ride?… Read more

I mean, if you’re smart you’ll take a screenshot or your insurance company has an app that saves your cards for offline use. Read more

Also, what happens if your phone is dead and you don’t have a physical copy? “Excuse me, please sit in the back of the cruiser charging your phone until it’s full enough to show me your licence”?

I want to note that this advice does not really work for high-mileage cars, beaters, custom cars, cars with enthusiast interest, or collector cars. Basically, it works best for normal cars driven normal miles. Read more

Yeah, but *some* people will own cars and people who don’t live in the community who own cars will still have to access it. For example, when family visits for the holidays or parties. Bloomberg doesn’t say where those cars have to go. I also checked the site for the community and I didn’t find information there,… Read more

+1 from a former Jalop. I get that hardtops are objectively better, but man, a warm summer day and a top down drive in my Saturn Sky feels so great! Read more

Aww thank you very much! As Dead Elvis indicates, I have moved on to the Autopian. That said, I love this place so much that I'm still here in the comments! Read more

I love trying out all kinds of weirdo two wheelers! I do have something close to a classic Vespa, a Genuine Stella... basically a license built Vespa PX complete with a manual transmission and a two stroke. Read more

Yeah, anything above $3,000 is a hard sell for a Burgman. I paid $1,500 for one during the pandemic. Read more

Who was this for...

That’s hot, I’ll take it in pink, please. I’ll probably put a rollback bed on it so I can tow my own garbage cars. Read more
