Not just like racing seats but the exact same racing seat.  Just amazing the complete duplication of a single concept across so many brands.

I tend to favor triangles if you have the space.  they don’t go bad over time, but obvs aren’t as visible without light hitting them

re: 911 that’s likely no longer *required*. 3G networks are being decom’d in Q1 2022. Lots of On-Star type systems are about to stop working b/c of it without a dealer supplied upgrade.

VA prides itself on maintaining a low tax rate and a balanced budget. So VDOT is always scrounging for money if we get even a handful of storms in one year.

yeah, I think it’s 20 over posted is automatic reckless, and 80 is always reckless even in a 70. Do. Not. Speed. In. VA., they like their revenue stream.

It was well publicized the night before.  This was fast developing but not that fast.

As a Rochester NY Native living in DC area, they don’t get right out and plow nor do they have the resources to really attack a large area.  They can slowly grind down a snowfall, but a lot fast isn’t really feasible.

I believe I read the reason was to cut down on occupant ejections in crashes. And that submersion was a much less likely occurrence.

Well, think of all the weight savings he’ll gain walking to get help! ;-)

Yeah, surprised me too. Even with something substantial doubtful you can get the momentum needed in the space available.

Well if the windshield goes ‘walkies’ you won’t be needing the window breaker ;-) I kid I kid. Definitely a good point.

I went with reflective triangles instead of flares. Figure they don’t ‘go bad’ or have a limited run time. They are a fair bit bulkier though. And aren’t really visible unless light hits them obvs.

I have a pretty well stocked kit in both cars but this is something I hadn’t thought of.  Very good idea!

Caveat that cars since 2017 started requiring that door windows are also laminated like the windshield. (thinking is ejection from a vehicle is more likely than submersion so the lamination prevents ejections).  So only the rear window is still tempered glass.  (and I ain’t fitting out some of those tiny rear…

40 people in 28 months is nothing

Roch NY born. My Dad literally never winterized any of the spigots and I don’t think we had the outdoor spigot type; the turn knob isn’t perpendicular to the pipe like the example. He grew up in Detroit so isn’t at all unfamiliar with winter...lol

Husbands: Yeah Carnival baby! Bootieliscous, bodacious, bab....

Having custom vehicle specific batteries comes with a pretty sizeable cost penalty itself.

I’d do it for $3000 TO me.

A vehicle with a higher center of gravity is far more likely to rollover than a lower CoG.
