It wasn't "my DOT" I was working with multiple DOTs across the country. I don't know the specific results of the testing, just that I was there for presentations on the testing by various DOTs and third party industry organizations. I was involved in video systems for traffic management...
You are completely wrong on that, so now I imagine that everything else you've said is founded on equally incorrect assumptions?
Source: I ran a company that worked in DOT safety for a few years, and worked directly with safety engineers.
AP screwed up on me today, and took me off guard. In its defense, it was a weird intersection where the lanes on the far side do not match the lanes on the side I was coming from. It has to do a jog inside the intersection, with no curve or warning in the lines. It tried to go from...
You can have my steering wheel weight when you pry it from my cold dead fingers (after I crash). It doesn't mean I'm not paying attention, just like having a useless hand on the wheel doesn't mean you are paying attention.
I'm also enjoying the battle of wits with Elon. They figured out how...
My bet would be that we find out the driver was drunk, and then of course MSM will stop covering it because it's not a TESLAS BAD story.
Aside from that, you'd have to be a complete moron to let AP keep control in any sort of non-normal, well marked situation. I've put over 16k on our car, and...
What are you talking about? Do you believe that car loans and mortgages are not consumer debt? Is there a reason you didn't include the second sentence, which is what I'm talking about?
Credit card debt, student loans, auto loans, mortgages, and payday loans are all examples of consumer debt.
Only true if the cost of the debt is close to or exceeds the income potential of the assets, and/or the possibility of needing the asset. I'll have pulled around 8-10% from investments this year and am paying 2.3-4% on debt. I'd be an idiot to convert the income to a payoff.
Never, and I specifically used the words "if shit really hits the fan." Meaning a real collapse, anarchy, etc. If there's just a mild recession and more inflation, then debt still wins because you pay it back in cheaper fiat currency. There's no downside to debt in recession, and it's...
that’s part of my disappointment in laying down cheap debt. We could have been making way more on investments. And there’s a certain comfort in having tangible assets if things go really poorly. And if shit really hits the fan, debts are wiped out anyway.
Being heavily in debt during those times makes me feel better and is profitable. I am unhappy that I paid off too much debt in the last few years. Now is the time to profit from investment/savings and if shit hits the fan--good, I've still got my cash and metals.
Have you done a sale quote...
I posted this on another forum on 11/3. I cannot believe that the supposed experts took another month to start saying it, and some idiot like me, nowhere near cars and retail, sees it early?
OR--they purposely hid the looming problem. I can say for sure that the Jeep dealer near me was...
Lenders have quietly dropped the "one car" rule and are financing sequential purchases without a trade-in. Meaning, people buying a new car with new financing, because they are upside down on the existing car and can't trade it in. They KNOW the people will default--on the OLD loan. So fuck...
Of course. I do wonder where one draws an ethical line between a state's "right" to control its people and the land mass it owns, versus the idea of human rights. I personally lean towards anarchy and can't yet find any reason he can't ignore them...
