I'm kind of stunned it isn't on fire...but also impressed that there were no injuries rated more than "mild to moderate" among the 4 passengers.

I think in the last Joe Rogan podcast, Elon spoke quite a bit about their airbags and the various sensors that affect how they deploy - neat stuff.


Big crumply part on the back end, which meant they did a loopty loop. Must've been a fun ride.

That would be a car that would constantly try to kill you even when you drove it conservatively.

I have to agree with Jay and OB. They are beautiful graceful animals and exciting to see in an urban setting.

Concur. We have some deer in our truly urban/city area and they come in on occasion and strip every flower and new shoots from every plant in the yard. Curse the bastards....
Sorry, I am with JayG on this one. We love our deer, except for the big buck that almost ran me over trying to get away from our dog. It was nighttime so I didn't know he was in the yard when I let the dog out.

For a dense suburban area, we have a lot of animals, including foxes and opossums. The only ones I could do without are the chickadees that start singing at 4 AM.

I'd much rather have the LS powered 240Z than an LS powered Miata. Actually I'd rather have an L24 powered 240Z than either. And I am firmly in the minority here, I'd rather have a L28 powered 280Z than all of the above.

I sold my 93 300ZX 2+2, owned since 1995, in the fall before Covid. Liked the car but it was large and heavy. I was going to start modding it and doing stuff like an aluminum drive shaft blah-blah-blah. Would rather had a good shape 240Z but that ship has sailed when I bought the Type R...not enough garages.

In case you guys haven't seen the train wreck going on on RL, it's hilarious! The mods have all been blocked from being able to mod, and the site is in full implosion mode. So the mods are spamming all the forums. :D :D :D

I assume these threads are in the paid section, since I can't see them. I stopped giving IB my money years ago. The political section has been a sewer for years. One of the reasons I let my subscription expire was that after Sandy, someone posted a racist joke about fried chicken and the Bronx. Let it burn.

You can always respond to those threads with 996outpost.com spam if they want a better place. :lol:
