Isn’t this the same system they’v been using for roller coasters, levitating trains and such for years? and they still can’t get it to work reliably? Also, I don’t know if this is still the case, but when my father was on a carrier in the early 1970's, they kept buckets to catch water during showers, as when they…

Taxes in South Carolina are 5%, but cap at $300.00. Call it the poor tax, buy a used $6000 car or a $120k car, you pay the same tax.
There are a lot of other costs in addition to direct medical expenses, which are covered by the countries universal healthcare system. He’ll likely spend a number of months in rehab, and depending on where he lives, it may not be local. One of his parents may need to take a leave of absence from work while he’s in…
A car with third-row seating just means that you’ll end up driving other peoples children around along with your own. Just buy the minivan
Ford Transit Connect. Plenty of room. can sit in the back seats on stakeouts and be less visible than in the front seats which have less tinting. Throw on a ladder rack and a small ladder on top and get some magnetic door signs made up for fake businesses to slap on the side (or just acquire some of the ones used by…
Is it technically a ‘commercial’ vehicle if it’s privately owned and not used for commercial purposes? Are all company-owned cars commercial vehicles?
The problem is that they can only sell those in the US. With the import tax on trucks as it is, Mercedes has to either build SUVs and trucks in the US, or only import the high-end versions of the G-wagon into the states, as it’s cost prohibitive to import a lower end model. MB is also conscious of diluting their image…
I doubt he drove on many toll roads. Some of us live in states with almost no toll roads. I only go through tolls when traveling for work and just pay cash. Most use an EZ Pass thing as opposed to scanning license plates.
I always say, if I was to get rich, I would buy a house in Canada just to keep some cars registered and plated with Canadian plates that we can’t import into the US.
They would sell a ton more vehicles if they could come in with a sub-$30k or perhaps sub-$27k four-door four-cylinder diesel with a five-our six-speed and four wheel drive. Skip the fancy infotainment system. Basic stereo with a 3.5mm line in and perhaps bluetooth. For people who aren’t looking for a luxury truck and…
In the US in South Carolina, the sales taxes on cars is only 5% (but is capped at $300). I think its kind of ridiculous though that if you buy a luxury or exotic car, your paying the same sales tax as someone buying a $6000 older used car. It’s kind of a poor tax for people who buy and sell older used cars more…
You could buy turnkey race-prepped B-Spec Mini Coopers from the Charleston Mini dealership (or just the package if you already have the car). Those are most likely street legal. Porsche sells GT3 race cars which are probably not street legal. I’m not sure what makes them not street legal, as long as they have lights…
