A group of old scooters went past me today and reminded me how much I like the smell of two-stroke, so naturally I'm hunting for kei cars again. Youtube vids suggest these make a most excellent racket www.carsensor.net/usedcar/deta...

I remember seeing these all over the place 6-10 years ago when I went to high school, now they seem to have disappeared!

A lot of what you're saying resonates damn hard with me man, my sleep rhytm is quite shit atm and I keep not doing anything days on end because the stress of wanting/needing to do stuff keeps putting me off doing said stuff

I think the meltdown Elon is having on twitter shows pretty well why I left (even if I'm not that active);

He says he's "defending free speech" but he really only allows and pushes the "free speech" he agrees with on the platform...

Yeah, I'm in the Netherlands!

That must be it, I think the car is equipped with at least some of the self-driving options but I turned all of them off for that trip due to aforementioned reasons lol

Yeah it didn't do that on the trip luckily, I don't remember any previous Teslas I've driven doing it. Maybe a region thing?

Especially here in the Netherlands, we have changing speed limits on our motorways noted by the signs in the image
(Unsigned limit would be 130 on motorways) and I haven't found any cars yet that understand it. Gets real old real quick on longer stints.

I drove a Tesla with adaptive cc last night, I had to override the brakes twice because it hallucinated the car in the lane next to me moving into my lane.

Also picked up a speed limit sign for a parallel road and upped the cc in the middle of an average speed zone...

Man man it feels like every time I go out for a drive the standards of driving are lower than the time before...

In a 15 minute drive I was cut off 3 times (2 w/o indicating of course), had to perform 2 emergency stops and was helf up by people going 15 under about half the time πŸ₯²

The Myth of "I'm Successful Because I Had Rich Parents"
YouTube video by Doug DeMuro The Myth of "I'm Successful Because I Had Rich Parents"

Doug Demuro is a classic rich kid piece of shit. He laughs off being born on third base when, in actuality, though pulling himself by his bootstraps and grinding, he was born on second and half base. I’ve never seen a comments section go worse. It’s glorious.

Daihatsu were even sort of ahead of the whole mini crossover trend with its predecessor, the Naked (yes, that's really its name). Also available in 4wd+manual+turbo trim!

Maybe if a certain car is made special by the engine in it I'd disagree, then again if that engine breaks and it's hard to find replacements it makes sense

Maybe not the most original, but it works great so it's hard to criticise...

Big displacement, relatively compact thanks to the pushrod heads, loads of aftermarket support, cheap and easy to come by (especially in the US) but still somewhat modern

That being said I didn't buy it for speed of course, I prefer small cars that I can thrash without going to jail thank you

Don't tell me your car is "slow" if it does 0-100 in more than 10 seconds, THIS is slow
