One would think the German automakers already do much better in overall fleet fuel economy than American manufacturers who are dominated by truck sales and have to struggle with car and car-based CUVs to meet fleet standards. BMW builds all of their X4, X5, X6, and X7s in the US already, which would be on the lower…

Their next door neighbor state of South Carolina has a maximum cap sales tax on vehicles of only $600 (raised from $300 a few years ago). Perhaps these guys should move their LLCs.

Looks pretty easy to remove and move to a quiet location in the house. Unless it states in the contract your volume will be remotely monitored, I doubt they’d be able to complain if you disconnect the device.

I really wish Apple would work to establish more authorized repair centers in places that they don’t have stores. Or open up more stores. I live in Columbia, South Carolina, which for some reason despite having the largest university in the state with about 35,000 students and and a Columbia area population of about…

Mercedes-Benz just invested $500 million in a new plant in Charleston, SC to build Sprinter vans that is currently hiring and ramping up to begin production, and estimated to have 1,300 employees by 2020.

How long can you keep foreign-tagged cars in the US? There are tons of Canadians that live half the year in the states and drive around with Canadian plates. I have even seen a Mexico plate here in South Carolina for while. How hard would it be for an American to get the car they want registered in Canada (or Mexico)…

I question whether this would hold up in court under the first-sale doctrine. The sale in no way harms Ford, or its image. He could have just garaged the thing, and it wouldn’t have been worth anything to Ford then. He could have shit all over it in his vlogs and Ford would have been trying to buy it back from him. Or…

I would recommend he start with something like an older diesel G-wagon, and do some extensive pre-travel prep on it before hand, including a second battery, extended fuel tank, slight lift, decent tires, etc. And take someone else along for the journey. There’s a good article about a couple who did this for years.

That’s where experience comes in- dealing with broken equipment and figuring out a workaround. Their mast was still standing and the sail could have been manually raised even if it required going up the mast.

Does the tribe actually own the patent now, or only so long as they continue to license it back to the drug maker? What if they decide to license it to a competing drug maker for slightly higher price? If it’s the former, then the courts should rule that the tribe doesn’t actually own the patent if they aren’t free do…

It’s not just a matter of enclosing a cockpit. There are a lot of other factors that arise when you enclose a small space like that- it becomes an oven and you have to add some type of cooling system which needs some system to run it and a place to put it. Larger cars already have the space, but in F1 cars space is at…

Get a Pelican case or something similar that a helmet can fit it inside and meets checked luggage size requirements. You can also fit clothes and other stuff into it, and they’re virtually crush proof.

It doesn’t indicate whether he actually finished law school and passed the bar, but if he is convicted, he may be kissing that law license goodbye. The bar doesn’t look too kindly on this sort of malfeasance, and most of those have a number of former state legislators and judges sitting in judgement.

While it is her “work phone” congress members receive a large chunk of money annually to run and staff their offices, and this includes things like paying for computers and phones and what not. So while it was a work phone, she was the CEO and could do whatever she wanted with her work phone. But yes, often other…

In South Carolina, the legislature just increased the sales taxes on cars from a cap of $300 to a cap of $500. Of course, we also have property taxes on vehicles, which seem to be a whole separate math in themselves. The property taxes on my 2005 Chevy Silverado LS extended cab are much higher than they should be…

While the wife may be able to sue her ex-husband, the former mother-in-law may have to sue both her daughter and former son-in-law. While the daughter didn’t know about the cameras, if she was co-owner of the house, she may also have liability regardless of knowledge. Any lawyers want to chime in?

The roof line on this one looks like a GMC Jimmy.

Based on this, most people in rural West Virginia (and I’ve driven around A LOT of it over the last 15 years) are running a salvage yard in their front yards. Yet there its considered normal to just abandon non-working vehicles and other machinery and junk in the yard. At least these are behind the the house and out…

Something says he won’t be around too long. Cocky with a big ego, already owns several helicopters, student pilots license and paranoid to boot....all a recipe for disaster.

Good article from Wired on one of these whose less quick with the gun.
