Horses should have blocked the streets from cars...

Oh, they tried that. Tons of anti-automobile laws were passed as well, the most egregious being the UK Red Flag act which restricted speeds to 4mph country and 2mph city as well as requiring a crew of 3 and an additional person to walk in front with a flag to warn…

Yeah, my initial thought is that it was just a staking compound which folks slather from the screw head to wherever it’s mounted as a belt-and-suspenders approach when threadlock is insufficient to retain the screw in environments or unable to be checked during quality checkout.

Some day you will be worth that much, little car, but that day is not today.

I never got the technic line. This isn't helping me get there....

In the nether realms of troll/sarcasm/ignorance, I’ll bite because why not?

Do you also hate soccer’s slide and shoulder tackles? They could just play the ball and be penalized for any body contact. How about hockey’s checks? Baseball’s slides? Water Polo’s grabs? Basketball’s body blocks?

Nascar is a semi-contact sport…

I was looking at the stats a while back and, at least in the one city (I think it was Ontario) 60 percent of thefts were unlocked, unoccupied, idling vehicles. So a ton of people do.

Oh, I have zero doubt they’ll figure it out...whether it’s a 2 week, 2 month, or 2 year problem is the question.

I imagine this came out of negotiations with the regulators. I betya the ‘fix’ is noticeably deleterious to some combo of performance, mileage, maintenance intervals, etc. and the regulators believed a not-insignificant number of owners would just blow it off and continue to pollute without a serious incentive. It…

Standard failure signature of a throwout bearing. When you release the clutch in gear it’ll make a hooting sound as you get to the friction point. Initially it’ll only occur in frigid weather but it’s progressive and terminal. The hoot will start appearing in warmer and warmer temperatures until it happens every time.…

That would make sense, but nope. Every window tint statute I’ve ever seen is separate from the mirror and visibility statutes. Vans and trucks are typically exempt.

That is so not true, heh. 36 states have tint laws covering the back and back sides.

Window tint = bad, you could hide stuff back there
Panel Vans = whatever

It can, but all the states I’ve lived in that have personal property tax on automobiles have off setting taxes elsewhere. VA, which is getting a lot of guff in this thread is patently average in overall tax burden (it’s usually ranked 23-28 amongst the states year to year). Texas has no personal property tax and no…

That fee is distributed to any insurance companies that write policies in VA and earmarked to lower uninsured/underinsured coverage cost. Same with money from tickets and judgements for driving without insurance.

It's not a bug it's a feature.

There is a slight ghosting effect on our windows. It is not our fault, it was made by a supplier.

-Tesla PAO

It has turbofan wheels. Good enough to give them a pass.

Tis normal to think you're something else when you get sloshed.

Production value and consistency. If it's something with the quality my little cousin could do with no training on consumer gear I'm probably not going to watch.

Most people took the settlement option from the victims fund GM set up. These plaintiffs are folks who were determined not to qualify (the person who wrecked their Saturn Sky, or whatever it was, on an icy overpass was likely one of those) or people fishing for a bigger pay day. The strong merit based cases have…
