A billion X.  It’s time to ditch the trend.  

You’re off by over a decade. The original black plates were replaced by the plain blue plates in 1969/1970. The rising sun plates didn’t hit until 1984. I have a personalized plate from then.

Too much television for you. 

Easy contest to win.  I’ll simply submit schematics for the USS Enterprise.  

Experienced that in a few used car purchases.  You could tell (likely) that someone with a love of sharp rings drove the car a lot. 

It’s just anything else in life. Two same brand stores, or two DMVs, located near each.  One has great service, the other doesn’t.  One is always crowded, the other isn’t.  One is rundown, the other isn’t.  

Florida is one of those states that allows a title to be washed and a car to appear clean to an unsuspecting buyer.  So civilized…

There’s a complication now.  With musk supporting Trump, what happens?  

A target for an incoming asteroid impact. 

This is when I remind Toyota that everyone else is getting it done. So what’s your problem Toyota?

Old ship. Even restored, it would seem like an amenities-limited relic to anyone who’s been on a cruise on any ship built in the last 20 years. Even the Titanic is tiny compared to the ships they use for the three day booze cruises.

Same experience. A 2015 500e that was absolutely flawless in reliability and being screwed together. The one and only flaw cosmetically was a tear in the leather from a small screwdriver in my pocket, even the paint was perfect for living outdoors. A newly licensed kid ran a red and totaled it at 110k miles.  After…

Damn old wives tales. A gas 500 at 130,000 with ZERO issues (ok, one window motor assembly cracked the plastic) and two first gen 500e’s. One at 110K miles with 93% battery capacity left and another youngster with only 42k miles. All perfect.

Keep them there.  Don’t bring them unto the highway.

No.  Not even.  Any of that.

Nothing wrong with pointing out a clear and present danger to all parties involved.

Stupid and unsafe, for all parties.

Same with Bigfoot.  He suddenly disappeared with the advent of high definition cameras everywhere.

Simply not an issue.

Anything in the EV realm should be viewed with extreme caution. The EV tent is held up with some very unstable poles. I believe that the coming battery replacement issues are going to be what kills these things off, once and for all.
