A lot of those maritime codes only apply to vessels that displace a certain tonnage. Just looking  at its size, I’m willing to bet it is well-under the requirements for owner-operated vessels or pleasure craft that don’t require any crew or more than the most rudimentary emergency equipment. 

If it’s already registered with the Coast Guard, I’m assuming that it meets all CG requirements for a vessel of it’s type.

That just exposes you to having to pay space tax though.

Membership for living in this country requires everyone to pay an amount to keep a certain standard of living. Do you like roads? Living in an area of the country where there are too many dirt roads, I can tell you that is not a solution, and even then they need upkeep.

Some people think that the rich had to commit crimes to get that way, and taxation is a just punishment.

The casino boat I worked at briefly in college had to fire up the engines and move once per year to remain legally a boat. While this was a river boat and in a different state, it was still a boat who’s entire existing was a legal loophole. 

As much as I often complain about the tactics of the rich in avoiding and at times outright evading taxes with impunity I am completely with the boat owner here.

same, I thought it was attached to the land and just happened to float but clearly that’s not the case. just because it’s not designed to go very fast or go out to sea doesn’t disqualify it as a boat just like a barge is still a boat.

The whole earth is a ship flying through space.

Me too - I was going to say... ehhh... this is a stretch.

Since all the tectonic plates float on magma, we all live on boats too and are not subject property tax.

Honestly, I was ready for this to be wayyy less boat-like than it is.

Initial quality looks for problems you identify very early in ownership (90 days). Dodge owners are not arriving at the dealer with a checklist of things to review. If you buy a Tesla, it’s very likely that you’ll have one of the plethora of checklists to review every tiny detail of the vehicle inside and out before…

The survey is based on customers reporting problems with the cars. So you can finish quite well despite building crap if your customers expect crap. The higher expectation and complexity is what pushes the more expensive manufacturers like the germans and JLR down the order. There is a reason why Porsche put wastegate…

To be fair to dodge how many problems can their 2 cars have after 13+ years in production?  I figure those should be worked out by now

Lol, Chevrolet is third and they make rolling piles of plastic that fall apart if you look at them sideways. This rating is meaningful! (sarc)

Recently I’ve read a couple wonderful articles highlighting motorsport groups for different demographics.

Kyle Larson, who is 27-years-old, half-Japanese, and old enough to know better

This is the smaller CUV that is below the Bronco. Think of this as the Jeep Renegade compared to the Wrangler
