If this doesn't make you feel like you belong to their target audience I don't know what will.

+1 Glupson, solid ideas for someone “immune, and insensitive” to Covid.  

@stereo5 , sorry to hear about your friends 😕

I just realized that I don’t really care to read about stereo equipment that is astronomically priced, but I love to research cars that I’ll never be able to afford.  And Doug DeMero’s reviews are crap and his “Doug Score’s” are a joke.  He’s more concerned about cup holders and quirks than ripping down a canyon road at 9,000 rpms.  If you want to watch good car reviews check out Mr. JWW or The Smoking Tire.  The new Konigsegg Jesko and Konigsegg Gemera are 👍.  Ferrari Tributo 👍. New C8 Vette 👍👍

"...or $32k standmounts either."
Which ones are those? I would like to see their picture and, maybe, read about them. Not buying them, though.
@b_limo ,
Check out The Smoking Tire (One Take) by Matt Farah on YouTube who also pens for Road & Track. That should get your motor running.

All the best,
Nonoise
File under Ooops!

Maryland reported its highest number of new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday—just four days after the state began easing public health restrictions aimed at thwarting the spread of disease.

Though state officials note that an increase in testing and a backlog of test results may partly explain the spike, the case counts overall suggest that disease transmission has not declined in the lead-up to re-opening—and transmission could very easily increase as residents begin venturing into public spaces more frequently.

Maryland’s outcome may hold lessons for other states attempting their own reopening. As of today, May 20, all 50 states have begun easing restrictions at some level, according to The Washington Post.

After 24 hours, this thread has received about 100 replies, so what we can say for sure at least is that the subject is hotly contested.

Best,

E
