A HANS device and full roll cage doesn’t meet FMVSS standards...

The bench seats are not certified as meeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

Personally, I think going full-EV is a bad idea and mandating it is an even worse idea. And I’m an EV owner. Getting rid of the pure-ICE vehicle isn’t a terrible idea, but not leaving room for efficient PHEVs and hybrids that better fit the needs of most American drivers is a huge mistake.

1. The US average price of a new car is $48k.

I think regional chains or local shops are a big reason - there’s no need for some of these. Portillo’s may have dogs, but I go there for Italian Beefs more than anything else.

sonic must have done a horrible job of advertising then.

Here’s a concept, Produce more vehicles. Seeing a headline like “next year’s car is already sold out” is a good indicator that you maybe aren’t making enough product.

Wanted a Bronco = FORD TAKE MY MONEY.

The problem probably isn’t the engineers, but rather all of the different management teams who give the engineers ridiculous, conflicting directions and requirements.

...$100 on the first day past deadline, $200 on the next, and so on...

A big part of the problem is EMPTY containers sitting on chassis. Once those get off the chassis and onto the sweeper ships the deficit of chassis will improve and the full containers can get out faster.

The minefield between Mauritania and Morocco / Western Sahara is quite tense the first time you drive through it. Stay on the soft sand - if you think you see a road surface, that’s more likely to have landmines.

It’s an interesting concept, but the mystery isn’t interesting enough and the sitcom pastiche isn’t funny enough to justify it as a full mini-series. I’m just happy to see Emma Caulfield get work.

What is there to say? It’s been 3 episodes and WandaVision hasn’t really done anything. Right now it’s “I Get That Reference: The Series”
