The 2 year is almost up, but there’s three years left on the battery warranty.

Loud pipes do not, in fact, save lives.

I would argue that with electric drive, it doesn’t feel slow, at least not around town. My brother has a Bolt, and it’s slower than this, but in typical city driving it feels quick. However, I will completely agree with you that if you aren’t going to offer (and market) the “cake and eat it to” point, it needs to be…

I agree. They should at least be required on any new builds.

Dude, you’re doing yeoman’s work for the oil companies here by calling it a tax, when it isn’t.

If this fee wasn’t instituted by a local or state government, it’s not a tax. It’s just oil companies sneakily hosing everyone but they call it a “fee” so they can say the base price hasn’t changed.

I saw one in Ohio a bit back. They peel off pretty easily.

Interesting that in that report, all the long term debt they show was issued in 2001, 2007, and 2008. Not having debt issued more recently implies that they have been getting their house in order.

I don’t know if this is accurate, but there is a chance the conservative state government officials doesn’t want the explosive growth this plant will bring to happen inside the possibly more liberal jurisdiction of the Mason local government. Think of it as a form of gerrymandering. 

They want what would be local tax money to be spent elsewhere in the state - most likely among those who voted for the comptroller.

That thumb of a comptroller actually started the process of forcibly taking control the next day.

Well, how else can state officials attempt to extort Ford for “campaign donations” if there’s a whole layer of local government in their way?

Modern conservatives’ motto should be “Small Government For Me But Not For Thee.”

The guy isn’t married nor does he have children. But nice jump to conclusions there sparky.
