Why’s the North American trucking industry insists on using semis with long noses instead over cabovers like in europe ?

I kinda agree with that, it’s extremely rare that cars fails the post-race inspections, this should have probably mandated extra scrutiny.

No, checking everything would take days, so they do mostly random checks on an equally random variety of component so nobody can guess what’s going to be checked on which cars.

Yes, it’s like with speeding speeding ticket on the highway, some will get away some don’t, but they can’t catch everyone. Don’t go above the speed limit if you don’t want to get pulled over.

Me, the wife and our family had all sort of euro cars over the last 20-30 years, including lots of volks and audis. Super reliable albeit a bit expensive on maintenance, but they’re good cars.

Me and my family had plenty of VW/Audi products in the last 30 years and none have been problematic, besides the ubiquitous bad O2 sensors that can all be replaced at no fees for 8 years (why have not figured this out yet is beyond me) they’ve all been pretty good.

Oh, had the exact same car and experience.

Maybe likely because he was the only known personality to accept the deal.

Good opportunity for all the coal workers to start a new career
