Here in Washington, where we have less salt and less rust, those plates are only for 30+ year old vehicles. They also come with restrictions on how you can operate the vehicle. You can only drive it:

Just bought an ‘08 LS460. More expensive than this one, but with way fewer miles and in better condition.

That’s not the law that matters. Instate tuition applies a different rule from most residency rules.

Again, the registration IS void in Colorado if you move out of state. Just because you have a sticker doesn’t mean the registration is valid.

I’m not located near any military facilities, and neither one of them appears remotely military (they look more like hippies), so I doubt it.

Portal axles. 130 mph.

“What if you found out you had to move right after shelling out 700bucks for yearly registration?”

It’s called use tax rather than sales tax when you bring in the car from another state, but yes. Unfortunately for me Washington has one of the highest rates in the country.

You also may have neighbors narc on you. Here in Washington, there is a phone line to call if you think someone is cheating on the registration laws. And the cost of a Washington registration, while not one of the worst in the country, is high enough that people get seriously annoyed at cheaters.

We’ll consider the CT6 when it’s actually available. So far, you can’t get one.

The 7 has, far and away, the worst reliability record in the luxobarge class. Basically it goes like this: Lexus LS - excellent; S-Class and A8 - average or a bit better; 7 Series - horrendous.

Maybe a local area thing. Around here, that crowd is seriously into diesel X5s. It seems like every new one I see has the 35d badge on it.

Ignore the haters. I love my FiveFingers. They’re the only shoes I’ve found in the last two decades that let me run without pain.

Almost certainly not. Most tint people are using lets 25% or less of the light through (often just 5%). No LED is going to quadruple your brightness. The very best ones may come close to doubling it.

Properly engineered LED lights are awesome, especially for brake and turn signal applications where the instant-on characteristic is a big advantage.

The turbine car was premature. A tiny turbine would be an excellent partner for an electric motor in a modern hybrid. And all the better: if you run out of fuel and electrons, just pour your cologne, perfume, or high-proof booze in the tank.

There was a Mad Max promo car in downtown Seattle yesterday. The driver was driving like a complete asshat. I guess he forgot he wasn’t in the game.

Yes. My first car had them. I do not miss the contortions to roll the windows down one bit.

Isn’t the point of BCO to realize just how badly humanity is doomed?

It done broked and the smoke came out.
