That’s a fair point, but that is all organized around automobiles and kinda runs counter to the pick up and leave anywhere business model of these vendors. They’ll probably have to institute more dedicated scooter racks, but that opens up another can of worms, “Is it a bike or scooter rack?”. Maybe racks that hang…

The precedent is already set. I mean, the rest of us get the hammer when we are careless where our vehicles are left, or simply ignorant of/confused by local parking laws. I can sympathize, but can make no solid argument for the scooter vendors’ case.

So.... how long before head light replacement totals a nearly new car?

Nope. Money doesn't trump self respect for me. Go ahead and call it "self-righteousness" if it makes you feel better...

Once again, they are putting the burden on the customer by not removing enough seats so that reclining is a non-issue. This is cost effective for Delta, little more.

I’m still pretty sure I need to get my rims straightened from a through trip on I70 two years ago. The route should be shut down until it gets repaired- or, reduce the speed to 30, given how deep the pot holes are. Pretty sure SUV and Truck sales get a huge boost from this country's blacktop crater infestation.

I actually committed a category from what I was referring to. You’re either a sociopath, clueless, or a loser. Have a read on the Gervais principle: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-or-the-office-according-to-the-office/

$2,500? That’s the “We know it’s kinda rough, so price it low and they won’t come back to chew our asses prices.”. So, NP

You're either a sociopath or a loser in today’s work environment...

Wanna compound your distaste for American railways? Ride a train incentral Europe, especially Switzerland. You may ask “Is the ride already over?”, but that may just be me....

Porsche will have to make a 911 that is so lightweight, even Lotus takes notice. That is still the biggest advantage ICEs have over EVs.

Look up the Sultan of Brunei. You might wanna sit down for this though, and keep the sharp stabby objects out of reach.

Do a quick background check on your preferred mode of automobile power. Where are the batteries/fuel cells/pixies manufactured and how much embodied energy is needed to complete said manufacture? Are the raw materials mined from conflict regions and/or toxic and/or conducive to human rights violations? Is the energy…

Unfortunately internal combustion may be outlawed by them. Deargodihopeimwrong.

Speculation is ruining both of these markets, my friend. I have no pity for the flippers when they get what's coming to them.

Now is the perfect time to ramp up plasma gasification in this country. The only thing that was hindering its growth was the recycled value of papers/plastics. Now they should be worth more as fuel.

Imagine a future where cracked windshields are repaired with lasers in situ rather than discarded.

Spatchcocked ovaries. Unsee that....

This is begging for a 4bt swap, but there is no room in that asking price. CP

Looks like the 3D printed stuff is powdered sintered metal.
