Ya know, I have to wonder if it's even about driving anymore with some of these ridiculously overpowered, and over priced cars. I think most of them are just being produced so rich people can brag they have one. I can't think of one single reason beyond that, that justifies the cost, nor can I think of anyone outside of a professional driver, that would know how to control and use 2000+ ponies.
Oooooo! Now, to win a multi-state lottery..

Wow! This will help peeps buying vehicles, IF it passes:
"The good news: The GOP bill calls for an above-the-line deduction of up to $10,000 in car loan interest during a given taxable year. You'd pay no tax on that interest, if you qualified.
Creating an above-the-line deduction means that the proposed tax break on car loan interest would not just apply to the roughly 10% of taxpayers who itemize deductions. It also would apply to the vast majority of people who do not itemize and instead claim the standard deduction."

That must have been one hell of a ride.
Hmmmm ..; I've seen similar .. devices used on various commercial fleets. I think WMT's trucks have signs that they are limited to .. 65MPH?
The anti-speeding technology would monitor the driver's speed and prevent their vehicle from going over local speed limits.

On commercial vehicles they just govern the RPM's or throttle somehow. I'm not exactly sure that happens, but I know leasing companies do it so drivers don't tear up the equipment. They resell some units after a lease is up, others go into loaner duty. In 33 years I only drove one truck that would break 65mph, and that was the last one I drove before leaving, it would do 70mph.

I thought if Strip had an extra half a mil doing nothing, he might want to start representin'.

LOL. The irony is that no Canadian would want to drive that in the winter, making it unusable for at least 1/4 of the year.
What I'd love to see is a true "Canadian" 911 which is actually winter-ready, like a raised chassis, advanced heating and state-of-the-art defrosting system. That would really be worth half mil in Canadian $.
"a true "Canadian" 911 which is actually winter-ready, like a raised chassis, advanced heating and state-of-the-art defrosting system." Uh, they do make something like this! The Porsche Dakar Rallye Package. Not sure about the heating and defrosting, though..

The heating is clutch. The value of heated steering wheels can't be understated. Imagine trying to drive holding 2 popsicles.
Not to mention a robust batter/starter system that can start after a -40 degree overnight frost, or window defrosters which can cut through a centimeter of ice.
Holy crap! Shelby GT 500 code red. Twin-turbo V-8, w/ 1,300HP!

Gee, I wonder what you're going to ask Santa Claus for Christmas this year.

Pretty soon you'll be getting a car mortgage, and not a car loan.
Tesla sued over Model S crash that ****** three in New Jersey

Interesting that Tesla's defense is "Autopilot isn't supposed to be self-driving" and it's the driver's fault, but they're also looking to release 100% self-driving cars very soon.
