Street parking has radicalized me. I am tired of replacing or repairing polycarbonate panels every time sometime brushes my parked cars. We must retvrn to impact bumpers.

Both Kaine and Warner have already been governor, thanks to VA’s weird one term limit. Both were good governors, and both are good Senators

I remember also hearing that Ford aggressively purged Merkur parts from its supply chain as soon as the warranties on the last cars were done

This is a broader issue, too, though I agree it is more acute as software plays a bigger role in cars. But look at parts availability generally; how long do OEMs commit to stocking parts? IIRC someone told me for GM it was 10 years; not sure if that’s changed.

“Former” is useful because it helps the reader understand the person’s relevance; obviously less important for someone like Trump but “former Ambassador to the UN Haley” is useful context. But it can often be better done with a note: “Ms. Haley, who served as UN Ambassador under Trump…”

Neither Mayor Pete nor Bernie was going to get Jim Clyburn’s endorsement. The collective action issue was real, but there’s a reason that Biden is the one that emerged as the consensus choice

In that case, keep having the GOP waste their money sending you stuff; I’ve been on Hillsdale’s list for a while for some reason, and if Pat Sajak wants to pay to send me stuff I never read, more power to him

I do tend to think this is how it will play out, assuming Trump loses—immunity turns out to be Trump-specific, with exceptions and carve-outs discovered for later, “garden variety” prosecutions

Every time one of these dumb stories comes up I have to remind people that because of a tie in one district, control of one of the Virginia houses was decided by drawing lots, so yeah every vote matters www.npr.org/2018/01/04/5...

I don’t think it’s unrelated, in that safe districts in the US tend to be a vehicle for the same kind of fringe effects (Boebert, MTG) that small parties provide elsewhere. A GOP house beholden to four or five extremist votes is in a similar type of position that Likud is in Israel

Yeah that was one of the examples I was thinking of. Honestly I think we should be looking for ways to deplatform the fringe. No small parties. No gerrymandering. Make everyone fight to appeal to normies

Yeah you get fringe parties who either have no role in government or end up being critical coalition partners and have an outsized role in government. Every now and then a mainstream party collapses and the fringe parties become mainstream

Yeah, the issue comes when you design a car for one and try and fit the other. EU plates are way more legible and if I were in charge we’d just adopt that size in the States. US license plates are barely readable, esp with all the custom colors and graphics states do these days

Michigan doesn’t require them, so I always figured that was why the Big 3 designed their cars they way they did. Explains the 300C, though not the RX-8

It’s always amazed me that no state government has figured out how much extra money they could charge to allow European-sized license plates

I’ve said it before, but I voted against David Duke in 1991 and long believed it would be the most meaningful vote I would ever cast. I am so, so sorry to have been wrong about that

They also made way fewer of them, partly because of the recession. Don’t have production numbers handy but the 987.2s are rare compared to the earlier ones

The 3.2s apparently don’t really have the bore scoring issue and if I’m honest have better throttle response than the DFI cars (though obv not as fast). A 2006 3.2S might be the best of breed, and I say that independent of having owned just that car

IMS was an issue through the end of the 986s and into the early 987s. Late production 2005 cars have the revised bearing, so all 2006s through 2008s are fine (or, at least, much less prone). They eliminated the IMS completely in 2009
