WRT the GPS tracker thing....
On a Ford of this vintage there are a variety of things that can be easily disconnected or removed that will render the car a static display. This prevents someone driving off with the car unless they A) spend the time to determine what was disconnected and/or B) came with spare parts.

All you are doing is admitting that you don’t have even so much as the base knowledge required for this discussion, you don’t understand what is actually being proposed, and your mind is closed. That you have no willingness to learn anything. That you are conditioned to parrot what authority tells you. You do it…

You sure like strawmen. There’s not one thing there that you assigned me that I actually wrote. Again, my views aren’t the binary opposite of yours. Shake off the conditioning already.

There used to be an active group of people that imported them about 15 years ago. Sadly it seems to have come to grinding halt. I didn’t want to spend the money at the time on one but now that the spigot shut the cars that are here fetch too much of a premium.

The styling dictated three gauge pods. The cheapest gauge at the time to fill it with was probably a voltmeter. It requires no sensor, just the gauge and access to the dash wiring that’s already there.

I gave you how to do it. At least the effective way to make transit work. You just don’t like the answer. There are also ways of engineering the road system for greater capacity for all forms of transportation in the same space but the anti-motoring crowd won’t tolerate those politically. 

Since you’re so concerned about my tone, you should work on yours first. You come at me with claims that I am partisan and then put on display that you don’t even know transit’s history, what do you expect to get in response? 

You’re being non-responsive. Let me know when you have an argument to present.

I’m not partisan so why would I do that? My views are not on the 3x5 card of acceptable thought.

Government runs transit. If it is not sufficient, the problem is the institution that manages it. Like all things government it seeks to use the government’s power to squeeze wealth out of other people. As Bastiat put it, “Government is the great fiction by which everyone endevors to live at the expense of everyone…

It’s the standard binary nonsense. So you’re two bit binary instead of one bit. You’re still using conditioned and framed thinking.

Things change, that’s why people (and corporations) use government, to make them static. Their efforts to make things static resulted in the problems they have now. If they hadn’t gotten government involved there would have been a considerably lower push into the low-rent areas because the neighborhoods these “tech”…

I notice you can’t articulate any reasoning or counter argument. Try supporting your assertions so they aren’t well “stupid”.

No it’s not.

“Your just spouting conservative mumbo jumbo.”

They don’t want to create effective and attractive transit so they are making the alternative more expensive and more of a hassle than it already is. 

Once again it isn’t about making transit more attractive and useful but making motoring more expensive and painful.

This is how more government jobs are created. Make everything require a lot of people and then complain they need to hire more.

Where I live the response for a minor traffic crash is enormous. One would think there was fatality and all it is some bent sheet metal.

Accordion doors don’t seal at the top. Bad for something like a bathroom. A telescoping pocket door would work though. (I assume the wall isn’t long enough for a conventional pocket door)

That’s just over kill. All it takes these days to confuse just about anyone is a three on the tree.
