I wonder how race gas prices compare across countries. In theory they should be fairly similar since they aren't taxed (in the US).

Amazingly the post directly under his goes right back to the normal size. The issue hasn't been a real issue in so long people don't even know what it means anymore.

'Breaking the tables' was from when a large picture would resize the entire page to the width of the picture. So word wrapping was completely broken and you'd have to scroll to read any line that was longer than your page.

I have a little sympathy for diesel pickups only because I think the EPA has really raped them with emissions, it used to be possible to get close to 20mpg in an empty pickup (or so owners claim) now it's hard to even get 10mpg empty. Reducing the smoke with ULSD fuels just seems kinda pointless since older motors needed the sulphur to provide lubrication, and all the deadly toxic cancer soot used to just fall to the ground. Besides, everything you touch causes cancer these days.

I lived in India for 6 months where as far as I can tell particulate pollution was completely unregulated. I assure you, you want heavy regulations on soot. The city was completely loving covered in soot from the dirty diesels and 2 strokes.

Edit: Does the US not have any GCM limits on a car license or something? I'm genuinely struggling with this image and why anyone would buy an SUV a pickup rather than an MR/HR if they needed to tow stuff like this or the tractor regularly?

Not sure what MR/HR is, but I'm going to assume you're talking about regular semi-truck tractors.

It's going to be somewhat state by state. Here in NC you can register a regular semi-truck tractor as a non-commercial vehicle and drive it with a non-commercial license if you take off the semi-truck style hitch and replace it with a standard 5th wheel.

Isn't that everyone under 30 who owns an Impreza, though? (Bringing us back to the terrible car stuff.. kinda)

This video should be titled 'How to overreact to everything that happens around me.'

A car opened its door, better swerve into the other lane.

A minivan did a baller lane change, better slam on my brakes and slow down to 20 while the guy pulls away ahead of me.

A truck pulled out too far at an intersection, better STOP IN THE TRAVEL LANE.

A car is on the wrong side of the road turning into a driveway, I've noticed this and slowed down. But hey, why not cross the double yellow for the poo poo of it.

Both bike videos look to be the biker's fault. That's is THE reason you don't ride on the sidewalk, and passing a semi while it's at a stop sign? Really?

he has the seatbelts just looped around the roll bar, so they freely move side to side and do nothing but probably injure you in a collision.

If it's like the ones here it's to record people driving stupidly around semi trucks. Usually they are tailgating a semi though.

The cameras/lasers point down, maybe some kind of rolling road inspector?
