Does anyone around here have an inkling of history? “Dare Greatly” is adapted from a Teddy Roosevelt speech lauding those who try over those who criticize, because those who try, while they may fail, at least attempt something great, whereas the critic sitting on the sideline can’t ever achieve that same greatness. Her…
Some automakers are starting to call for harmonized regulations for this reason; not enough profit on the entry-level cars to make distinct versions make much financial sense in the long term.
It’s from the German sketch comedy show Knallerfrauen. The comedienne is Martina Hill.
They already do? Most states I know of, you have to pay sales tax on a CL-bought vehicle when you register it.
Supposedly at a loss. All I've seen regarding that is Sergio's word for it that they lose money on each 500e, and that's not specifying the accounting for it. Is he saying they'd lose that average per car if they only sold the minimum required, given R&D, crash testing costs, and such? Well, sell it in more markets…
No, and neither is it possible to buy one new in CA and ship it out. The way California's EV mandate works is that carmakers get credit for each EV sold in the state, but only if the EV stays in California for 3 years; they track them by registration. If the original purchaser sells the car before the three years are…
I know all of that already, and still find it ridiculous.
The combination of discounts is only available to CA buyers because CA and OR are the only two states FIAT sells this in. Which annoys me and especially my girlfriend to no end. She is the perfect driver for an EV: all city, no significant highway or interstate driving, and a short commute to a nearby school where she…
The purpose of a pickup is to haul what the owner wants to haul within its limits. For you, that's 4x8s and so you don't have a purpose for these trucks. For me? Dirt and plants for a garden. I'd be well-served even by a FIAT Strada. The idea in the rest of the world that hasn't permeated into America is that you…
~6500 sold last month after only 3 or so months on sale.
Certainly not the main reason, which is that American full-size trucks are monsters; they wouldn't fit, either physically or financially, in the rest of the world.
Hybrid SUVs have largely been failures, so why would a hybrid minivan work? From the Freep:
$28 from 2005 is about $34.50 today. Inflation is a bitch.
The IRS has nothing to do with this, I'm just illustrating that since one (federal) agency already does payment plans, state DOTs trying to collect use tax are not limited to lump sum payments.
The government isn't keen to have a replica of the White House outside of its control. Hollywood fudges a lot of the interior for movies because they simply don't know and aren't allowed to see the full layout.
Problem 1: Not all states have inspections, and those that do don't necessarily have annual ones.
Ooo, is that what WP looks like now? Shiny.
For the most part, the general public doesn't really give a damn about specific military spending, just the total of it. I don't really hear people calling specifically for the F35 to be canned, but I do hear plenty of talk that the military budget should be cut down.
Because even the government can't sink infinite money into a project without popular backlash, which results in unrest.
