“Oh Well. Imperfect data is imperfect.”

BYD’s presence in the US is truly baffling to me, because it seems to not exist. Yet the e6 van has obtained an EPA certification from 2013 to at least 2018. I personally saw an e6 at an independent EV shop in Chicago, where the guy told me he was going to be a dealer for them. I also remember reading that the plan…

As a recently minted Saab owner who is quickly descending into one-brand tunnel vision, I was kind of surprised to not see them on there as well. I’m not saying the numbers aren’t dwindling, but I feel pretty confident there are more Saabs on the road than Yugos (in fact, there were almost that many at the Saab…

“Other” is going to include everything like Koenigsegg, Panoz, Spyker, BYD, Think, Coda, Wheego, VPG, Saleen, London Taxi, Excalibur, Mosler, Vector, Pagani, Delorean, Bertone or any other number of bizarre, exotic and obscure vehicles legally sold here since 1981 carrying a standardized 17-digit VIN.

You could potentially have BYD in there though, since I think they did a trial attempt at electric vans.

Jason keep in mind that Experian (and R.L. Polk, owner of CarFax) are only obtaining registration data on cars with the SAE/NHTSA standardized 17-digit VIN format. This was mandated for 1981 Model Year cars, although I have seen a few 1980's using it also.

“Making It” and Duncanville are regular gigs, I’d say. Also, Amy’s producing like 5 different shows at once. Whatchu talkin bout?

If the cops have the auto plate scanner technology running... might be an easy flag.  Ugh, the future sucks.

So I had this guy who stopped into look at buying my truck. Took it for a test drive, pointed out the problems and he said he’d think about it.

I like to get a different daily driver every few years so I have some great ones. This is my favorite: In 2008, I had an NA Miata that I decided to sell. It was worth maybe $3,000 at the time. I posted it on Craiglist and got an email from a local eye doctor who specialized in LASIK surgery offering me LASIK in…

Any story/post with the words “Holy Grail” and David Tracy in it!

On The Middle, they won the trip to Disney World.  (Or, technically, Disneyland although they mistakenly went to Disney World.)

and a reasonable nutritional approach.

I don’t think Chris Kattan has a lot going on right now so...

The main reason why I don’t think they would, is because I doubt running SNL would give them the ability to work on other projects.

Just a big puppers looking to get some belly rubs.
