That's actually what Google AI told me is a common answer to the question.

That's just a distillation of an answer they got from a much larger AI.

Approximately 77% less than the average market share. :thumbsup:

Quote from: kphoger on April 28, 2026, 10:22:29 AMThe answer, my friend, is zero.  If he's really a man, then he never walks down a road.  He only ever walks uphill.  Both ways.  In the snow.

Against the blowing wind.

Just M-185. The rest of them typically allow cars.

Because of the unseen tar pit they drove into, after a double-bottom lost its load.

They're confused by the sign. They've all heard of Red China, but they've never heard of Red Japan and they're wondering what and where it is.

(I think it was either Takumi or kurumi who referred to a sign like that without the word "Red" as a "No Turn on Japan" sign. The forum search didn't turn up the original post with that reference to allow me to credit the correct person.)

It's a drag race signal, you can't hear it, but they're all revving their engines.

There are cars in front of them.
