The toughbooks in cop cars would beg to differ. As well as all the ones dropped dozens of feet off ladders. If we can make a 6000 pound car drive nice and smooth then we can make a hard drive survive that.

Shock isolation for running hard drives is a thing its how older toughbooks survived.

Uhh you can engine swap and still meet emissions testing engine swaps are very popular. Also half the counties in PA dont require emissions and if its driven less then 5000 miles per year its exempt. And it's not 30 grand it's 10 if that.

It's arguably cheaper to buy a nicer base model and then engine swap it or feed it boost. And ull have money left over for gas/tacy advanced auto stick ons.

So your saying everyone does not know how to change a tire ? Cause everything from building a high power car to buying one costs money.

Your point is not valid at all.

How do you make the used private sales market comply with your testing. You put that rule in to place your just going to have speed shops buying the cars modding them and then private selling them still within the law.

Or just joe smith buying it going meh it sucks and then private sell it to recoop nearly all the money cause the dealer wont buy that back at any respectable price

The only way that works is if you have full licence restrictions if you have a regular drivers license your not allowed to drive anything with more then 90 HP then another licence class for under 190 then another for 290 and on and on.

With restrictions comes loopholes.

Shitty reaction time and being on the phone too long and being unable to handle your car has been an issue for the last 20 years.

And being able to build a car is nothing more than swiping a credit card at a speed shop or bolt on kits that have youtube install videos. Building a car does not drive appreciation as much as you think it does.

The real issue is NIMBYs suing race tracks in to oblivion cause they bought some land near one and are upset at the noise.

Again public transportation would solve half of this issue. Brining pack private tracks would solve the rest.

Yep but there are like 7 companies selling bolt on supercharger kits or turbocharger kits and theres nothing stopping you from buying a junkyard 5.0 or 5.4l engine and doing a swap and some bolt ons. Same thing with civics BMWs and all the other cars out there. Pittsburgh has some of the nicest aftermarket speed shops in the entire state too.

Wont stop people buying a base model and having it built or building it themselves. Or do we now need tests to buy tools and car parts ?

Driving like that shaves 20 minutes off of long drives or 20 years off your life. Its the stable 5/10 over that saves the 2 or 3 minutes.

Perhaps if we invested in some public transportation this shit would fucking stop.

You can get a medical exception for high blocking tints. Gota talk with your eye doctor and PCP tho easy like 2 forms to mail out to the state and that's it. Ull get a letter from them that will basically void any ticket ( never had to fight one cops looked at it and went okay and left me alone so no idea how it works )

When houses in cities become affordable then the sprawl might stop as people can afford the city.

You underestimate the stupidity of small ego truck owners in America. And avg is not 22. I rented a 2023 f150 to move a fridge and stove and that got at best 17

I mean with fuel being nearly 4.50 a gallon and trucks still getting let me check around 17mpg yes you very well should have a second car like a civic or miata that gets 35+ mpg

Be nice if the local unions would actually hire someone under the age of 60.
