Actual legal tender that is universally accepted, off the top of my head. Physical goods if you prefer a resource-based definition.

Couple reasons why:

The only papers I’ve read have car mirrors pegged between 2 and 5% (Presumably large semis would be the ones that could go as high as 7%). Which literally no one would describe as a “large source” of drag. Tires, for reference’s sake, are worth about 25% of drag, meaning each tire is a bigger source of drag than both…

You know, I debated adding “a few thousand”, but I was like “Nah, there’s no way this idiocy is that expensive.”

Oh, physical buttons, I wish I’d added that to my list...

A manual transmission is priority number one.

Bitcoin... The one whose value graph looks like an EKG readout?

Pretend money.

OK, as a Canadian, I think I can help with this.

Hell, for me, it’s much simpler: Sideview mirrors simply look better than this. Why in god’s name would I have a thousand dollars worth of cameras and nonsense to have my car look worse?

Wow, that looks absolutely terrible. Go back to mirrors.

Woah now: Mirrors are a source of drag, but definitely not a large one. And cameras would still be out there too, shrinking the difference even further.

Not to mention, they’re also easier to figure out in terms of motion. Numbers changing means I need to physically look down and see what’s happening. A sweeping needle can be in my peripheral and work just fine.

I have literally never understood why manufacturers don’t sell their engines as crate motors. The amount of folks who would buy any of the following is rather substantial:

Designed by Engineers
Assembled by Craftsmen
Ridden by Dickheads

I say this as someone who sells Suzukis: Why?

I think the concern (From the government’s perspective) is that you open the door to big manufacturers (Who sell limited amounts, picture Maybach, Bugatti, Koenigsegg, etc) cutting corners on limited-run models. If brand ‘x’ is only producing ten units of a certain model, why wouldn’t they just apply for the…

Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be included in this, as it’s not based upon a 25 year old design, it’s a unique vehicle Factory Five created, much like the GTM.

They’re not really in opposition to eachother.

And long distance aircraft.
