The OBDII CEL is there to present faults in the EMISSIONS SYSTEM ONLY. It is under no obligation to inform you about other, more serious problems with the engine.

I have liability-only coverage on a car (2006 Lincoln Zephyr) and pickup truck (1997 F-250HD), which runs $1000/year.

my insurance premium for motorcycle vs car would disagree with you.

Sometimes race cars should stay race cars?

This “truck” is closer to a tractor than a highway vehicle. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

White girls can cry wolf and ruin any man’s life, not just black guys’.

As just a few examples, a 20-year copyright would make the first Game of Thrones and Harry Potter books public domain, and a 30-year one would make all 3 of the original Star Wars movies and the full original Star Trek public domain.

20 years should be plenty for copyright; a case could be made for 30, but anything past that is objectively ludicrous.

So much this. Nothing mission-critical (and this is about as critical as it gets) AND extremely time-sensitive should rely on wireless tech.

4x4 van

Bibendum is one badass, altruistic mofo.

Want to have this law repealed? Pool some resources and rent billboard time at the city limits with a message like

Situational awareness is safety 101 stuff, armed or unarmed.

I don’t require a firearm every day, just as I don’t require a fire extinguisher or first aid kit every day. Having one available does not mean its use is constantly required.

Carrying a gun doesn’t mean relying on it as the first or only tool to use. That was the point of my original comment.

It tells women how to take care of themselves and their cars, and reminds them to always carry a gun.

Fun fact, the QE2 encountered a 98-foot rogue wave in the North Atlantic back in ‘95. Supposedly survived by “surfing” it diagonally.
