His car collection is amazing. Glad he’s alright.

Glad he's okay, he has a really sick car collection. In particular, the Buick Grand National GNX

I don't care. And may his collection of personal cars burn up.

Thankfully, that chin can soak up damage like nothing else.

I am curious, what is your current mode of transportation?
I know you oppose personal motor vehicles and the mass transit is hell in 3rd world countries, so how do you get around?

LOL.

Autorickshaw.

Autorickshaw.

It's not optimal for anything other than short routes but I guess it's the most readily available option.

I am also all for mass transit, but for another reason which is protecting the environment.
Don't agree with total ban of personal vehicles. Instead, govt.s should work towards affordable and efficient mass transit and personal vehicles should be treated more like luxury items, heavily taxed (carbon tax etc). The proceeds goes towards improving and maintaining infrastructure for the mass transit programs etc.

Well, by meter one-way, depending on the distance I usually travel to it can cost from 70 rupees to 220. And sometimes the drivers ask for 20 rupees more but this is reasonable. Twice recently I took rickshaws for to-and-back trip - the first time cost me 600 rupees and the second 750 and the drivers waited while I did my work.

That's a fantastic reason. Everyone should have this idea and it is included in this thread of mine from 2021.

I disagree and I provide the reasonings in discussions in the above thread. Please read and participate there. I am going out now so I will read your replies later.

Big fan of Jay Leno. I love watching his car show.

So the Buick Grand Nationals were really fast cars at the dragstrip when I used to go..however since they weren't low slung they'd sail off the ground like a frisbee very easily.

LOL, why should I be jealous of someone with nothing more than a collection of personal cars ? I don't know much of his beliefs and personal conduct other than his one interview on the streets asking Americans about geography and one or two of his hostings but he might be a nice person.

Well I'm still incredibly fascinated by the fact that even the mighty Corvette was no match for the Buick Grand National GNX in 0 to 60 and the quarter mile.
