I would contend that the budgetary considerations for a manufacturer are considerably different from the budgetary considerations for a regulatory government agency, since they have completely different structures, mandates, incomes, and reasons for existing in the first place. The EPA doesn’t make widgets and they’re…

youre joking right?

It’s too bad that batteries aren’t free of charge.

I can share my one anecdotal experience using credit card insurance when I damaged a rental car FWIW. I was driving on the interstate last year in MN and an object flew up and smashed the windshield of the rental car I was driving.

What Waze really needs to do is get Android Auto support going, then it will be really easy to pop between Waze and any audio app.

WTF does “Rear roof beam, ain’t keer” mean??

“Also, with straight-cut gears, you don’t need any synchronizers for the gears,”

Exactly what I’ve been trying to explain to folks in my family that think the ACA was a disaster since their rates kept going up.

“Just because ‘other countries’ do this doesn’t mean we should tank our economy the same way they did.”

I don’t see a problem.

Yup, only $20 / month with a one-time setup fee of $49,800.

Ahem.

Used, low mileage, loaded 2014-2015 Chevy Volt coming off of lease. You can find one for less than half of the budget that’ll be in excellent condition fully loaded with ALL the bells and whistles and still be fully covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty. The stated commuter’s useage profile is less than 40…

You know, this “tunnel” is the kind of thing they’ll have to do on mars for a mars colony.
