    Exactly as Americans feel watching the EU.

    In WWII when the Nazis reached Ukraine, they found a population willing to volunteer to kick out the Ruskies.

    That is why the Ruskies depopulated Crimea after the war and put ethnic Russians there.

    Ukrainians are to Russians as Irish are to Englishmen.

    You don't even need to go to BLM, you are correct, but it's debatable.

    'La Raza' is an openly blatantly racist organization (it translates to 'the race', liberal lie and say it translates to 'the people').

    Produce your paperwork or don't get the job would do it.

    Europe has just gotten its first taste of the emigration levels America has dealt with for decades. But a flat fence jumper can't get work in Europe, all America has to do is emulate the EU's work permitting process and the Mexicans etc go home.

    Bernie is on record praising Castro and went to the USSR for his honeymoon (no doubt exchanging his money at the official rate).

    Oversimplification of the 19th century pirate situation.

    The pirates were allowed to continue to operate by the British navy in order to punish those not in a mutual defense treaty with them. The USA did the world a huge service by wiping out the Muslim pirates of north Africa and simultaneously hurt the bastards (Brits, other bastards) ongoing extortion efforts.

    O2 sensors get old and respond slowly (engines are usually bouncing between slightly rich and slightly lean). The ECU sees that and throws a code. The back O2 sensor also throws a code when the cat is no longer working (as you say, it runs dirty).

    You don't need to do preventive maintenance on O2 sensors or cats. When the check engine light goes on, you replace the broken part. OBD2 is a rolling smog check, if the light is off, the part is doing it's job. (Don't even suggest a preventative O2 sensor change to V8 Volvo drivers...those pieces of shit have 16 O2 sensors and 8 cats, all overpriced.)

    New car people do replace their cars before the first bit of plastic breaks, but that's not what we are talking about. Average age is fleet average, not age at first resale.

    With the onset of throttle by wire, old cars are looking better and better. The last rental car I had overruled my throttle stomp as it thought the steering was too far turned for any power.

    Yes I did. IIRC divided highway accident rates are about 1/4 the average for all driving. (You can Google for yourself, it's not hard to find. You want the accidents/mile not accidents/hour to compare to Tesla stats.) By far the safest mode.

    Tesla's in autopilot are (by current data) much more dangerous than regular cars in similar situations.

    This has been beat to death in the last three Tesla threads. But the fanbois keep bullshitting/parroting.

    It's been 20 years since OBD2. Any reasonably new and maintained car puts out about the same emissions.

    Classics are driven so few miles they aren't worth counting.

    Average age going up 2 years is just a rational (albeit slow) response to improved metallurgy. Mostly hard chromed piston rings.

    Again? Really?

    Once again. Tesla is full of shit. They compare 'autopilot' accident rates to all human driving. They should compare autopilot rates to human driving on divided highways. They don't because that would make them look bad.

    If you haven't already done so, read 'How to Lie with Statistics'.
