Collecting revenue from excessive ticketing sounds like the most NYC thing ever.

My local airport had a white Astro Van with plates from several states away parked in the same spot in the short term garage for 2 years or so until it was towed.

Probably about the same as road salt. That said, if you’re buying a Civic for 25% of its value, use it as DD for a few years and then sell it for 10% or gut it to make an autocross car or something, long term longevity is merely an added bonus.

FUCK. THAT. SHIT.

I’ve seen a few in Panama. South of the Mexico-Guatemala line, the transportation needs are usually served by small vans like the Hiace, Urvan, Delica, etc. or 26 passenger buses like the Coaster, Civilian/W41, Fuso Rosa, etc.

My University had a section in the handbook that also put caps on 15 passenger vans. It said the school would not purchase vans that seated more than 12 people, and that any vans that the school already had that seated more than 12 would be capped at 12. By the time I got there (2008) all the ones they had for student…

This is why they charge a hefty cleaning fee if you rent a car in Alaska and return it with visual or odorous evidence that it was used to haul salmon or bear.

Who the hell rents Land Cruisers? because I definitely want to rent one.

It’s a Great Day in South Carolina!

Trucknado!

This is how it works with modern aircraft engines.

Hahahah. Complete with a semi-naked chinese man screaming “mothafuckaaaaaaaaaa”

They seem to be solving things the Massachussetts way: By adding more taxes and fees.

So am I the only one who thinks that girls who race and get their photos taken in the nomex suits look like they’ve gotten there due to hard work and being good as opposed to because boobs (or as publicity gimmicks, also because boobs)? Like seriously, plenty of women have celebrity crushes on Hamilton, Ricciardo,…

IIRC, 2005 or so is when Chrysler came up with it. We had a 2004 Town & Country and Stow n go wasn’t offered.

Replacing the motors themselves adds like 20 minutes to the job, and dealers won’t do that. Hardest part of removing the gauge cluster is removing the huge dash part that wraps around the center stack. Anyone who has done one Trailblazer will probably get to the cluster on the next one in half the time.

As a former automotive whitebody design engineer [different OEM], all I can say is this is definitely the real deal. The CAD files could be out of date, maybe a previous design stage, and most likely this won’t be the final design 100%, based on feedback from testing, simulation, suppliers, factory, but this is not an…

A career is the least of their concerns. This most likely falls under IP theft, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (fmr manager where I worked was sued under that for stealing company secrets, no idea what happened). They’re looking at either a big lawsuit that will bankrupt them and/or perhaps even criminal charges.

Or a contractor from somewhere in Asia whose contract expired yesterday leaked it and is now on a plane sipping some Bombay Sapphire.

Just like the other people, didn’t see any of the comments made by others, nor the follow-up comment, surprising, because I posted that a good 4 hours after your 2nd post.
