  1. This is a very interesting statement. On the one hand, IIRC the courts in many places have upheld what I'll call the "red light camera" standard of proof, where if you get a traffic camera ticket, it is YOUR responsibility to prove you were not at the wheel. This standard in other places has been shot down, I believe Ohio is one of those places, but still, for the sake of argument... I wonder, if you were using telemetry data subpoenaed from Tesla to prove that you were driving somewhere other than the scene of a crime, would the same assumption stand up in court; that is, prosecution must prove that it was not you at the wheel?
  2. This is essentially the question at hand, and Kerry also touched on it. On my phone I have the ability to opt out of location services. On my car I have the option to not hand over the car to a dealer for inspection/data retrieval. Are those options with a Tesla? Can you simply turn off OTA communications and location tracking? It's not just Tesla, Ford is making a major push to claim ownership of onboard software so that changing or maintaining your car independently is considered misuse of their IP.
  3. Real question for the Tesla owners/drivers. How do you feel about Tesla's ability to monitor your driving habits via internet, and their obvious willingness to release details about what you do in your car to the media? I'm guessing they probably don't engage in that sort of thing until people drag them into the media, but still, I would like to read some opinions on the subject.
  4. Therefore, backing into your spot kept you safe. The only way to ensure you're safe is to back into your spot. Also, I have a rock that keeps tigers away. Would you like to buy?
  5. Especially since he commands the Waif "do not let her suffer" and then she twists the stake in her gut. Damn, that's a great theory.
  6. I think Catelyn being their leader makes the most sense especially since her Uncle Blackfish is currently under siege by the Lannisters, who are also holding Edmure Tully prisoner. A faceoff between the Lannisters and Starks is coming, and a revived Catelyn makes way more sense to take on the Lannister army than Arya. I read somewhere that the music that was played as the Hound walked through the corpses of the "parish" of the Seven, was the same exact music that was played when Catelyn Stark asked Brienne to swear loyalty to her. Hard to deny her as the impending Lady Stoneheart if that's true. One other thing to think about: The Hound is now an ally of the Faith of the Seven. Who do we know has an upcoming date with the High Septon? That's right, Cersei. She's gonna demand a trial by combat and use The Mountain as her champion. Who do you imagine the Faith will call as their champion? Could be Lancel Lannister, to force her to choose between killing her family or basically admitting guilt. Or they could ask The Hound to step in to fight his brother. I think the latter.
  7. Was this car at Byers Mazda? If it's not I sat in an identical one up there a while ago and it was niiiiiiiice.
  8. 2 reasons: 1) I worked as a valet in Boston and Columbus, and all companies I worked for required back-in parking. Makes it much easier to quickly bring a customer's car back up and it prevents lip scuffs on high end cars. When you spend hours a night every single night parking dozens of cars in backwards, it becomes habitual. I still park front-in to avoid backups in crowded/busy lots, but I always prefer back-in. 2) When I'm in a crowded lot, or a lot with narrow-ish spaces, I'll back in so my passenger side is next to the passenger side of another car. Every car will have a driver, but not every car will have a passenger, and thus if I give myself slightly more room on the driver side, it is far less likely that my car door will take a hit from another car door. Especially the case when backing in next to a nice/enthusiast car. Enthusiasts tend to not want to slam each others' doors, so as long as I make sure my passengers are super careful (ask them, I do, and it annoys the fuck out of them) then I expect the same from my parking neighbor.
  9. If you think the NBA is rigged how do you explain the Spurs titles? No one in their right mind wanted to watch Spurs basketball in the finals, it was boring as shit. It's like when people say the NHL draft is rigged because Edmonton keeps winning the lottery. If anything that proves that it's not rigged, the last thing the NHL wants is first-pick talent wasting away in Edmonton every single year.
  10. And half the Cavs fans were burning their #23 jerseys in July 2010.
  11. Trust me, the deals there aren't good enough to warrant the headache of getting a dealer license. You're bidding against people with 100x the expertise, 100x the resources, and 1000x the tolerance for a bad bid. A shit car/deal for them gets spread out over hundreds of car deals and disappears almost immediately. A shit car for your business can leave important cargo high and dry in the worst way. Not to mention the prices are so near-retail that you might as well get something from a dealer that you can complain to when shit goes wrong. You're probably better off with public auction, private sale, or working with a fleet manager at a dealership.
  12. I've been trying to talk them into getting an Alfa Romeo for it. Not quite as exotic as what they're currently using but they'd definitely be at home in that environment!
  13. Can't say the guy left very many stones unturned in his life. He certainly lived more than most people. RIP to the greatest of all time.
  14. Only championship coming to Cleveland will be in AHL hockey GO MONSTERS
  15. I'll agree with you. His studio presence was quite actor-ish but his segment in the Ariel was IMO very good.
  16. There's only been one episode so far and I think it was good to give it a fair chance. I gave it a fair chance, I'll probably give it one more, and then I'll probably give up on it.
  17. Bringing Jesse Eisenberg, a person who has owned 1 car his entire life, does not currently drive, has no interest in cars or the show, to be one of two guinea pigs to "show off" their new rally-x format for Twat in an Overpriced Anglo-Deutsch Lovechild is pretty fucking stupid. I think that's the future of the show right there; thinking more about putting stars on screen than actually producing a compelling, interesting TV show about cars.
  18. Thanks for this. I don't mind it being loud, I live on a pretty major street that has cars on it 24/7, nor do I venture out on the bike at unreasonable hours.
  19. Can't wait until he gets one that's 20x more powerful and levels it at your house. EDIT: Wait, you're in TX. Just wait until one of them tries to get onto your property to disable it and shoot them in the face. That's a legally recognized form of conflict resolution there, right?
  20. I'd post this is in The Daily Ride but that section is dead. I'm sick of the BMW sounding like a fucking scooter, and the aftermarket for these bastards is nearly nonexistent. I'd rather just have a local reputable shop custom fab something for me. Any recommendations for a place that won't charge an arm and a leg?
  21. :lolguy: I thought I was done laughing at that stupid flash in the pan meme, but this wins
  22. Step 1: get theft deterrent dye powder/pack, like they use in banks. Step 2: rig a small explosive with dye over your door. if you have a roof over your front door, do it up there, out of the line of sight Step 3: set timer so that explosive will only detonate when doorbell is pushed after 0100. Step 4: Call police, let them know you suspect some kids in the neighborhood may have been involved with a bank robbery Step 5: enjoy permanent peace and quiet in your neighborhood as all children are grounded for life.
  23. Always loved the Trumpet style. It doesn't look dated, it sorta looks like it belongs in Epcot; what 60s bike designers would've imagined a 2000s bike should look like. I dig it, and especially the Triple sound.
