I’m convinced my mother has driven just about anything you could name built between 1960 and 1980, but her 68 Dart with the V8 is definitely the coolest she actually owned.

Where’s the “Torchinsky option”? I know he’s on leave, but someone’s gotta pick up the slack.

Seasons 2 & 3 were 10 episodes each. I don’t see any reason to think they’ll do anything different.

EVs have their computers set up so they don’t deliver the max torque they could at zero RPM. Otherwise, you’d spin your tires at every stoplight. I’ve actually seen that in a friend’s undergrad engineering project: they put a 50hp electric motor in a Ford Explorer and it did burnouts every time they started moving…

Vapor-based hyperbus hybrid sportcross

The manual will get a mechanical diff?

Agreed. It’s weird how unphotogenic it is.

If you change your residency, then you have a year to change your license. If you are living & working there but maintain your residency in your home country, then they don’t force you to change it.

It does when you’re making the argument that she’s not legal because of how you decided to read the statute. She had no business in Georgia, nor was she residing or studying there, ergo she was a tourist.

That link throws an error. I am very interested to see this paper if you can find a working link (or a DOI and I’ll get it myself).

You don’t necessarily need one. It varies by country, and some (like China) don’t recognize them at all. Also, there are at least two different kinds of these permits, at least for US issued licenses: International Driving Permits, and Inter-American Driving Permits. IADPs are valid all over the Americas except…

She was a student in Tennessee, visiting Georgia. TN doesn’t use the same wording.

Even in the EU where there’s the schengen zone, if a Spanish person moved to France their license would become invalid after six months.

She had her NEXUS card. That’s as valid as a passport for Canadians entering the US.

Spain is a signatory to the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic. Under that agreement, they are required to accept licenses from other signatories, though they may impose additional requirements. Spain requires drivers from outside the EU/EEA to carry a translation of their license, and an IDP is an acceptable form…

A foreign student getting a degree from a US institution is eligible for a US driver’s license. Speaking from experience, it’s worth spending the hour at the DMV to save all the hassles later on. More than once, I have had to buy booze for visiting Canadians (older, grey haired men) because the liquor store wouldn’t…

That was the case when I was a kid, but not anymore. Now, you need what’s called an enhanced driver’s license (or enhanced state ID) which serves as a form of citizenship documentation. I don’t know about Canadian provinces, but most states don’t issue them and they’re not the default in the ones which do.

She graduated from UTK. She’d have had to be doing 30 over to even be noticed in Knoxville. I’ve twice been let off with a “don’t do it again” for doing 85 in a 55, and I regularly blow by cops doing 80 on that road. Drivers here are nuts and I think the highway patrol guys just figure they have enough to do without…

While developing what became the 86, they started out insisting that it have a certain low-slung look. Then they realized they didn’t have an engine which could fit under the hood. Rather than compromise the design, they bought a non-negligible fraction of Subaru so they’d have access to a flat engine.

It was sold as an Acura in the US.
