for some reason it's usually econobox-driving shitlords who go aggressively fast and switch lanes every 5 seconds here. it's like they're compensating for their garbage cars

The funny thing about rear end in a top hat drivers: no one even GETS how bad this poo poo will be in 5 years. This is nothing!

The real enemy? Motherfucking electric cars. Holy poo poo, electric cars will literally ruin the roadways of the future.

Imagine a car that allows you to essentially go as fast as you want, as soon as you want. There's so much torque that you immediately begin to perceive almost every other car as being slow and retarded.

This leads to the electric car driver acting like Speed Racer 100% of the time. The only loving reason this hasn't happened yet, is that the good electric cars are currently the domain of elite conservative douchebags who drive slow even with their speed machine.

But 5 or 10 loving years from now, when accidents are up 40% and everyone is acting like a loving butthole peeling out of dead stops and instantly going 60MPH, I want you to think back to this thread and remember where you heard it first.

Source: I have a good electric car and I drive like a reckless orangutan near-constantly.

I can't say electric engines are exactly my purview but I thought the issue with them was basically the exact opposite of this. They were energy efficient but had lower power density so you couldn't get a lot of oomph from them, which is what makes bigger vehicles like garbage trucks or planes impractical with our current technology. I know for sure the latter is true, biofuel research exists as a field predominately because of it's use in the diesel and jet ranges, but I dunno how far technology has come on something lighter like a sedan. My gut tells me we're not going to be seeing electric nascar anytime soon but a quick google tells me there is already "formula e" racing.

In LA, there is no contest. BMW drivers are the absolute worst. Every once in a while they own themselves in a spectacular way, but mostly they are a menace to everyone else. Apparently they are able to forego driving lessons if they take an alternate course on how to pull a dick move and simultaneously give the finger without looking if they hear a horn honk in protest.

This is true, because it attracted people who didn't want to spend the extra few gs to get the Infiniti G35/37, same car, better styling, way more comfortable, better handling. All a Z says is "I really wish Paul Walker was still alive"
