Yes, but no one in the US buys a G-wagon without rear seats, so it’s a passenger vehicle then. You just proved your own point wrong. The G-wagon does not apply to the chicken tax.

Half the reader’s allergies just flared up seeing all that cotton floating in the air.

Yeah but you normally think loud, rumbling V8s, not wailing V12s.

The worst offender I remember seeing is Kia wouldn’t let you get the nicer stereo in a Soul with a certain color. What in the hell does a stereo and body color have anything to do with each other?

Go to North America? And we’re just supposed to forget about the near extinction of the ingenious people groups? I don’t think so.

Yeah I think you are thinking of electric bicycles, but this being a car blog, “electric bikes” means electric motorcycles. Electric motorcycles were never illegal, especially since they are just as fast as a normal motorcycle and have to titled, registered and insured. I mean Zero’s “slowest” bike has 27HP and 78…

Ehh maybe? I mean it’s still a Toyota engine and it’s much newer. I think the problem the California people have had with the 2GR is that it’s almost impossible to keep the primary cats in the headers due to space, and you are using a combination of the new and old ECUs.

That’s why you see companies like Shell investing in EV charging. They know the oil business is going to decrease at some point. Diversification is what you have to do to stay alive in a changing market. It looks like your company needs to find a new product to launch.

Rat2 Motorsports near Seattle will do a whole 2GR swap, including engine, installed and running for $6995. So if you went with a cheaper (and less HP) 1MZ you could do it for a lot less.

2GR swapped MR2 has been on my mind for years.

It could also be the opposite Photoshop, where they’ve just edited out the traffic. That would probably be way easier, especially since Photoshop has a tool called “content aware fill” that does a pretty damn good job of editing out objects automatically.

Are you upset you can’t buy a more polluting, less fuel efficient vehicle? I don’t understand this argument. Are people really upset they can’t buy a vehicle that costs them more in gas and is worse for their health?

You do realize California has a larger population than Canada right? If Canada changed their emissions regulations, the automakers would just make cars specific to that market. Same with California, in fact it’s already happened before. There were plenty of “California Market” cars in the past that had different…

Yes, but they are still American jobs. We’re talking about the guy who ran on the proposal of creating more coal jobs, of which there are only 16,000 people in the whole country that actually work extracting coal. Add up all of the “Foreign Auto” employees in the US and it’s more than the 70,000 employees in the…

Because our goddamned country was created by people who felt forgotten, neglected, and marginalized by their home countries and wanted to find a place where they were free to be themselves without being persecuted for it or to find a place where they had a chance at a better life, something all humans deserve. All of…

These companies also have engineering offices in the US as well. Mercedes Benz Research North America has 500 employees across 5 locations in the US. Not to mention the 1600 employees at Mercedes Benz USA, which is headquartered in Atlanta. Then you also have Mercedes Financial, with 1500 employees in Texas.

Hey give them a break, they didn’t want to take off their shoes to keep counting.

License plates were Washington. Probably in the Seattle area. There are a bunch of those kei vans and trucks in the northwest, as well as other RHD imports.

The problem is you can get a base Ram 1500 or Colorado for the SAME price. So would you rather buy a truck that came out 4, 8, or 13 years ago. I don’t know about you but if I was buying a new, basic truck, I’d probably go for the more modern option since it costs the same.

I’m surprised you missed “dinning” room. Is this a room where you can make a lot of loud noises?
