I would have. It's a great picture with a funny story, for the low price of having to mop a bit more water

Thank you for this useful insight. What do I do when my eyes quickly adapt to this stupidly bright light in my peripheral vision and I now can't see anything in my own headlights ?

I have tried closing my left eye before, out of desperation. Doesn't really work and I wouldn't recommend losing depth perception while driving.

Not saying you're wrong in general but

if you need to stop on any kind of hill, you have to be aware your gonna need half a car length or more to get into gear where your just going to be falling down that hill while you convince yourself you don't need to panic and you will catch the gear before you're past the point of no return

My shitty Toyota Aygo has a hill start assist thing and it works very well. Basically when you release the brake at 0 km/h it holds it for a few seconds or until you reach the slip point of your first gear. Also handbrake start is right there in the OP, (and a mandatory part of drivers ed over here)

I'll also leave this paragraph here for no particular reason

In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer these [nukes] to Russia for dismantlement and became a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange for economic compensation and assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.

Sure, it only attacked its neighbor for committing the cardinal sin of trying to get into the EU and being afraid of Russia's expansionism.

I think Russia wouldn't attack the EU if we collectively agreed to maintain good relationships with Russia

That's pretty much France and especially Germany's playbook for Russian relations for the past few decades though. It seemed to work well until it suddenly didn't, so we're gonna have to try the other way

It has more than 1000 hp btw. And breaks itself every few miles

Ha ! That happened to me last year actually. Showered in the morning everything was fine. Came back from work to the thing in pieces on my floor. It can happen with tempered glass due to manufacturing defects. I think what actually triggers it to break apart isn't even well understood. And good luck explaining that shit to your landlord because it's pretty rare.

JFC that car is humongous. I could fit my small car twice under that tarp, with room to spare. Or that guy is tiny.

Eh, I know that the pink Floyd producer is a legend but wouldn't have recognized his name.
