This right here. We have successfully legislated away consumer rights and put up extremely high barriers to entry. This is not a free market practice. The dealer franchise model needs to die. I would gladly deal with Volkswagen corporate rather than O’Meara VW of GoFuckYourSelfVille.

Another - Dealers want you to pay cash.

It’s 2019, it’s not a 3 piece and a cigar anymore, it’s skinny jeans, a man bun, and juule in your mouth. 

All of the citations of this law lead to a single book, by a reputable publisher, but still I’d like to see the original text of the bill.  Call me skeptical.

Although this law is terrible, I wonder what cars would look like if it passed. Imagine if they all had to be able to be taken apart and hidden on short notice.

Fair point. Laws named after people other than the authors or proponents are even more likely to be useless crap than are laws, like the ones that you listed, that are named after their authors or proponents.

I don’t know anything about how Coogan’s Law actually plays out but Megan’s Law, as drafted and enforced in California, is in many respects absolutely horrible.

Amen to that. And ANY law named after someone is a presumptively bad law.

The law is clearly insane, motivated by ignorance and panic...

“The United States is engaged in a deadly arms race with one of the poorest countries in the world, and the other country is holding its own quite well.”

To heck with that music. I only date other car/motorcycle enthusiasts. Makes it so much easier when I say “oh honey, I brought home another smart fortwo”.

i think a lot of ppl are married to the wrong people then. Jeez..what a downer way of looking at it. 

The panel plus integrating it probably adds $1000 or more to the price. For “up to” 800 miles a year.

Paint it something other than Toyota champbeige. Other than that, leave it alone. Except maybe get the source of your tunes sorted. Then maintain it dutifully, drive it for the next ten years and let us know how it worked out. If, by then, you still feel we are worthy to offer an update to...

Love and hate it Mack, welcome back!

You know, people are taking this damn “comfort animal” shit just too damn far. Just because he was some big shot count from Transylvania, they let him bring it on board. Should have made him keep it in that damn cape he was wearing.

Are you saying my $1,200/mo mid-life crisis Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with Alcantara package and red seat belts got stolen, officer?

Alright sedans! Topping a list, finally.

It’s the Las Vegas Monorail, not the Disneyland Monorail. It’s never been full of people.
