That’s actually a very nice, normal-size, flet “Stetson”...

I guess they thought, like I, that a stripped out Carrera would be down more than 11 lbs.

The only problem with public transportation is the public part.

Well, certain hipster approved micro brews at least..

Says mister I’ve-never-driven-a-fast-truck.

I’d be all for the end of using the word “need” in describing folks automotive obsessions... it’s just not the point.

Heeeey! I gots manual!

Keeping prices low does not put more gas in the tank or water on the shelves. They will run out.

There is a limit... and true price gouging should be prosecuted in these circumstances. That said... think about it from the other side of the price equation. The buyer.

Because folks are still buying them regardless? Because the burden of proof is on the NHTSA and they may not have completely met that burden…

How dare they not acknowledge a rumor before they are ready to!

Yeah, without a regulation we’re f’d. There’s no way electic car makers will voluntarily solve this problem because they LOVE being be sued by dead pedestrian’s families. It’s their fave.

No harm no foul. I get that Australia is trying fix what they perceive as a serious problem... fine. And yes, you must know and follow the laws wherever you go... but this is not a moral issue.
