Irrelevant. All that matters is the balance of trade. If Toyota sells vehicles in Mexico, why should Mexicans not get jobs building vehicles?

2nd: The Trump administration’s demands are irrational, but that is nothing new.

If you want to boost US content, you should have offsets available for exports. For example, if Ford imports a vehicle from Mexico with 30% US content and exports a vehicle to Mexico with 100% US content, they should be able to use the…

4th: Not sure what NHTSA’s responsibility should be here. Seems like Ford needs to get off their asses and get repair parts designed and into production. There is no excuse for them to be still saying that they don’t have a replacement design completed 19 months after the recall.

“The issue with doing something like that is you spend a lot of time just wasting fuel burning against drag. A rocket going mostly upward at first will use less fuel fighting against drag since it spends so much less time and distance fighting it at lower altitude.”

Technically, it is generally much more efficient to…

First Gear: *looks out imaginary window in windowless office at 2006 Fusion which **gained** resale value over the past year*

BAM!

Could only have been made better if it was the Mad Drummer at the wheel...

It won’t be reckless if ALL vehicles are self-driving. It sure as hell is if only a % are.

“perform high-speed merges (sometimes across several lanes of traffic)“

So we’re training self-driving cars to be as reckless as humans?

Well, we now know what he’s doing during his “executive time”....

Later gen highlanders won’t make that list when people see the bill to change a water pump or a front oil seal (which have been failing at higher rates on them)

Realtor.com isn’t reliable for this.

They list condo fees in my area as HOA fees. In our neighborhood, they list HOA fees as $0.

Also, your linked article says they “can cost” - they don’t state what the national average is (though they do admit they’re including condo fees in their discussion)

You seriously believe this? I’ve never seen any evidence of a hit to property values because of HOAs around here. Maybe this corner of the country doesn’t have stupid HOAs like in this story, but seriously?

I can only count a couple of people I know in the entire state that actually state any opposition to HOAs, and…

What HOA charges anywhere near that amount? I’ve never heard of anything like that in the entire metro area where I live.

Hell, we have a small % of owners in our neighborhood complain our HOA fees are too high at $400 per YEAR, and with that we get landscaped central areas and a private pool.

Who told you we could have nice things?

The only vehicle you can get it on in the US is the Transit Connect, I believe.

WHAT HILL?

I actually don’t worry so much about Kim. He’s obsessed with maintaining power and self-survival, and that’s basically it. Don’t threaten/attack, and just ignore his bluster and nothing bad will happen...

Its more of a question of Trumplethinskin, IMO.

Hillary WAS a better choice.

Was she a great leader? Nope. Was she good at communicating a message? Nope (she actually is MUCH better at this one-on-one, but that isn’t the job of the President). Was she mentally stable? At least half so, and that’s half more than we have.

And when it comes to implementing policy, keep…

Meh, plenty to respect earlier generations for, but these are things I resent them for:

1) Defunding education - it used to be going to a state university was cheap, but they’ve defunded so many of them to the point that they’re way more expensive than they were before

Ok, Homer...
