I've driven many cars without ps and when going fast enough that a quick reaction is necessary, it can be handled fast enough. Not a major safety issue more than looking at GPS is a safety issue. I ride over 100km a week on my MTB so thanks for the suggestion.

Cranking! That allows no electrical wires needed to cross into the door. Simpler and less prone to failing.

I can start by saying that I'm a tech "guy". The evolution was simple: Puzzles, Lego, bikes, model R/C cars/planes, computers, motorcycles then cars. Add to that motorcycles and cars give you freedom of movement to go anywhere anytime in a whim, it is difficult to not geek about them.

Then, during a brief period of my life I lived in a big (for me) city and had to use the public transport and it was horrible. This only exacerbated my dreams of owning a motor vehicle. Car magazines helped fuel these dreams.

My dad loved sports cars, that didn't help the addiction ;)

This is something I'm looking for also.. but extended to the max. It seems all EVs have to be feature packed. I don't want that. Give me an option to have manual windows, no central locking nor remote, and if the tire size is right, I won't even need power steering. A/C AND USB-A would be the only creature conforts wanted... Probably an EV converted beetle?

After every race change oil and filters for the engine and optionally gearbox and differential. Send samples for analysis to determine if a replacement is needed.

Cook at home mostly. Every now and then maybe every two weeks we go out. And twice a week I send the kids to get kebab or pizza at the plaza in town. Never have had anything "cooked" delivered.. because no such service where I live.

Me thinks this is funnier where universal healthcare doesn't exist

Thanks that was it. I can lock in and focus the wall style very fast, as it is the most common. This took me while but got it with the finger trick!

For some reason I'm getting the depth inverted. Mt. Saint Helens looks like a hole in the ground.

Pre-teen is the worst age for this. Just try to get your kid past this the best you can. Happens everywhere, eventually they will mature and learn.

Heck, this is always the plot in school movies.

Part to blame for those stats. Watched S1 but not S2, and I don't know if I will. I loosely remember the plot and names of the characters. Lost all interest and I don't want to invest my time on a series that may or may not have an ending, or if I'm alive by then.

Besides that it is safer, I don't hit my front splitter on the curb.
