Hey, Trump did say if he was elected he was going to be acting SO presidential! Still waiting for that to start.

That’s true. And this is the perfect example of where a government entity regulating something can be good. As long as everyone has to do it, no one is at a competitive disadvantage.

This seems much more doable now that companies are going to the aero side skirts. Just cover the under ride guard with panels and two birds one stone. As long as it’s high enough to go over a railroad track.

There are some companies that use that basic design, mostly companies that ship lightweight, high volume goods. Seen lots of snack and potato chip brands on side of trucks like that. But they do have drawbacks in maneuverability, going over bumps and bumps, etc. Plus, for heavier stuff, that would end up way over the…

He went to Fiat and Ferrari first, then McLaren.

This is going to be interesting. He has been openly critical of the original Countryman and the general trend of MINIs getting bigger. He also has liked to work on big, revolutionary, new car designs rather than making model year changes to existing designs.

No, he just did the R50/53 design then jetted to Fiat where he did the 500.

Looks like it was a typical small overlap crash except the Sequoia was moving at an angle so once it hit it kept going through on the diagonal and tore the whole car up. And it was probably never designed for a small overlap crash in the first place.

Not yet. The gerrymandering case is still before the court and there has been no announcement yet. Maybe next Monday we will here. They are still trying to get around the mandated redistricting and new election later this year by doing nothing and running out the clock.

I learned to drive a stick so I could pass my drivers license test as the car my parents would let me drive was a stick and my dad thought it was important for me to learn anyway. We lived on a steep hill and had a STEEP driveway. He made me learn to stop and start the car on the hill before he would let me take the…

And that’s crazy because from what I’ve seen, they have as good or better security checks as we do here, at least at the major airports.

Holy shit, this includes cameras? Damn that’s a hell of an easy thing to steal and it going to totally screw up when I fly for pleasure. I use my camera bag as my personal item and carry miscellaneous stuff like headphones, charging blocks, cables, mentos(the freshmaker) passport and whatnot in there. Damn, so when I…

However, one badge holder can escort 2 unbadged people through the airport, so not everyone is screened.

That was supposed to say, it ISN’T against the glass. D’oh!

After the first month or so, when I learned not to crank the screws down too hard we’ve never had a single leak in our 2012. Just barely hand tight is all they need.

Same for us.

My first thought as well. It’s. It against the glass from what I can see, so I assume no automatic wipers.

Hey, at least they have it now. For a Jeep, were you could often be parked somewhere with an open top, leaving an opener out is not smart. Not even worried about someone taking your registration and opener and robbing you, but just a jerk kid could steal it for the lulz. In one of our old ones, I rigged up a switch in…

My wife would like that. She drives her 2012 with the panels out as much as she can. In the spring or fall, we will many have days with the high in the 60s which is prime for that, but the morning low will be 32. She will just put on a thicker coat, gloves and scarf, turn on the seat heaters and drive to work. She…

So, if they overheat, we know who to come after with pitchforks.
