Good to see the next step happening - the proof will be in how it actually works, out in the real world.

Damn . . . that’s both fugly and stupid! Bring back the stepside because you can’t see into the bed?!
Oversteer . . . but I had a great teacher, a ‘65 Corvair . . .
I had a Gremlin. I ended up getting a clear plastic fresnel lense to stick inside the back window. It helped.
And that’s my point. In this case, I don’t have much of a concern, but there have been too many other examples of forfeitures done on some pretty shaky pretenses. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/12/1/16686014/phillip-parhamovich-civil-forfeiture
Asset forfeiture prior to conviction is a pretty shaky legal theory. Whatever happened to “innocent until proven guilty”?
Not the first time for “unexplained” crashes with 737's - something similar happened in Colorado Springs, in 1991 - https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/NTSB_adopts_revised_final_report_on_the_1991_crash_of_United_Airlines_Flight_585_in_Colorado_Springs_CO.;_calls.aspx
1975 gremlin!
But if you want some real fun, head down to the Caribbean, where, on many islands, you drive on the left, but in left-hand drive American rental cars! It a great way for your significant other to experience multiple near-death experiences . . .
After the Fergusson shooting, the state passed a law capping how much money a city can keep from predatory traffic enforcement, so these struggling back waters have turned to going after their residents, aggressively, for minor zoning and property maintenance “violations”. With nearly 90 “cities” in St Louis County…
. . . probably already in Mexico, and long gone . . .
I did that about three months ago, with a Crosstrek.
We were test driving a Subuaru, on the freeway, and a crash happened about 4 cars in front of us. Since my wife’s a nurse, we stopped and helped out until the medics showed, then finished the test drive . . . didn’t buy that car . . .
How does electric usage relate to fuel usage / miles driven in a gas or diesel vehicle?!
I think you’re confusing local spending and state spending - the state isn’t repaving streets in a subdivision!
Without getting too far into the wonky weeds, one, yes, electric vehicles should pay some sort of a comparable road use fee, since they contribute to wear and tear and to congestion, just like ANY other vehicle. And two, while I’m no fan of subsidies, they should not be allocated based on the number of vehicles any…
“If you rarely drive in the snow, just pretend that you’re taking your grandma to church, there’s a platter of biscuits and 2 gallons of sweet tea in glass jars in the back seat, she’s wearing a new dress and holding a crock pot full of country gravy!” . . . from the interwebs . . .
Bro ride at its finest . . . I don’t need the overcompensation, not at that price, not at 1/2 off, not even at $10K. Definitely CP!
1. Buying a ‘65 Corvair with a vinyl bench seat, 2-speed auto and no A/C. 2. Selling it to me 7 years later, for my first car . . .
