I bet you that its UTV OEMs lobbying to have em shut down more than anything else.

What a weird collection of associate members. Tax collectors, the digital license plate people, UK driver and licensing agency, The Iowa tribe(?), random counties in the US, Google, Apple, Michelin, the US Governers association, Western Australia Department of Transportation, US Coast guard boating safety... It just…

The only thing I can think of is they’re very focussed on the pickups, so it seems like it must be something to do with farmers getting them instead of those utility side-by-side things.

Either that or someone who’s selling a computer system that can only handle standard VINs.

I can’t help but think there’s an ulterior motive here..

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. This whole thing just doesn’t make any logical sense so it’s forcing me to come up with illogical conclusions lol.

Why do they care so much? and no it’s not safety, because if it was, ban Motorcycles. But they won’t, so there has to be some money trail involved, or maybe they really are just a bunch of retired Karens. And what exactly is a “Non Traditional Vehicle”? Kei cars seems to fit this bill in the law:

I can’t help but think there’s an ulterior motive here, though I have yet to find a direct link to a big corporate sponsor who would benefit from no Kei cars being on the road. Why not go after motorcycles, if this is all about safety? Surely there’s no debate that a Kei car is far safer than a motorcycle.

Why are we wasting time and money on this? 

not cars, but McDonnell Douglass and Boeing 

In the context of this hemisphere: 1) Nissan has established plant capacity in lower cost locations (i.e. south, non-UAW). 2) These could be valuable in a future economy challenged by tariffs and trade wars. 3) Honda hybrids are great, Nissan has none. 4) Honda doesn’t really do trucks, Nissan has some. 5) CVTs aside,…

hope they call GM on their bluff but i doubt they will.  It would be funny if the city obstructs the demolition permits forcing GM to spend even more millions of dollars to sue the city. and then even more funny if the judge delays the trial for several years forcing GM to just give up and do the renovations on their…

Michigan needs to follow the time honored tradition of ‘yoink’.

Obligatory:

Boy, it’d be a shame if Detroit or the state just eminent domain-ed the whole thing and told GM to pound sand. A real shame.

my 1991 Pontiac Sunbird with the 2L engine ( if I recall correctly ) was horrible. Around 15 mpg? But for a small Pontiac sunbird? I could literally see the gage go down while driving in town.

What a piece of shit car.

Knock it the fuck down. Why? I'm sick of my Buick beeping at me 3 times if I even barely tap my key fob in my pocket. Fuck these losers. No more tax money for these suck pumps. No more. I'm a union guy to the bone. I'm in a union. I buy union. I bleed union. These assholes have shit on the union. Let them die. I'll…

Knock it down, already. It was obscene that they completed it as GM sold out Flint, MI to production in Mexico. I want nothing to do with downtown Detroit and my tax dollars have already bailed GM once. No more. Get rid of that eyesore.

On the other hand, who doesn’t love seeing a skyscraper blow up?

Just based on the top photo, the skyline would be greatly improved if they tear it down.

Countless more cars break down away from railroad tracks, but there’s rarely a reason to share a video of it happening.
