Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fine, then supercars die. Big whoop, look super cars are just eye candy that would need to evolve regardless of what people might want. If they don't they die its that simple, if someone's false sense of security needs to amplified by a combustion motor rather than idk not causing an actual fucking extinction of humanity then I rather let those old farts cry in a electric Bugatti that can smoke anything but will sounds all "lame. "

Eh, they won't die, they'll just get taxed probably. Look at Italy for example, they charge for any power over 250hp + displacement. At the end of the day if we're not talking about city pollution cars pale in comparison to the shipping industry and airlines.

In the future they would need to be banned, things aren't looking great when it comes to the climate and taxes won't make it better. As a car guy I'll weep when that time comes, but we can't sacrifice the world for a form of transportation. And by then I'll assume all city vehicles would be either very efficient hybrids or fully EVs.
