So, firstly, let’s look at other areas where licensure comes into play, such as the practice of law, medicine, and engineering:

You may act as your own attorney, you may act as your own doctor, and you may build your own house. In the process of doing these things, there are certain rules and regulations you must…

I do vote, and I won’t stop. But I feel it is also my duty to share what I have learned, my perceptions, etc. to those who may not otherwise we aware. I can’t make them drink, but I can at least show them where the water is. If I do not do this, I am not only endangering myself and my family’s future, but I am doing…

Sure, but the actual costs of the tech (development, production, usability, safety, societal, etc.) are not yet understood.

No, you cannot!

Paranoid? Nah, just aware (I think the kids say “woke” these days...) of my surroundings and paying attention to history. I’m not either “unreasonably” or “obsessively” anxious, suspicious, or mistrustful, because this mistrust and suspicions I have are based on mindful observations and sound reasoning drawn from…

I understand what you are saying, but you are not understanding what I am saying...

Let’s take that 1st Am. quote again:

Your “right to assemble” will not be infringed upon because it won’t need to be. If you can get there, you’ll be free to assemble as you please; you just won’t be able to get there... THAT is the…

I REALLY hope I am wrong, but I’m not getting too excited. There is too much history to look back on that says otherwise...

Mobility existed, but was limited in scope prior to the expansion of the railroad and only truly became attainable for the masses once the personal automobile became reality. Regardless, even “back in the day”, no one would stop you from loading up your horse & wagon and moving wherever you wanted to whenever you…

The amount of people here ready and willing to hand over one of their core freedoms (mobility) is absolutely astounding.

What fools!

There’s no money to be made in realistic expectations.

These AV companies are doing just enough to get attention and be gobbled up by larger companies. They must be laughing like crazy when they go to the bank...

(That’s a Dakota’s rear end, not a Ram 2500s.)

Forza is dead.

XBOX needs a new racing SIM ASAP.

Lateral layouts don’t work well for this type of taillight...

While I tend to very much agree with what you’re saying, you are REALLY talking about CUVs here, not SUVs.

Regardless, we need to get back to making REAL vans a thing again. Put a Pacifica body on a Ram chassis and it would sell like crazy...

I suggested the same. Great choice!

The obvious answer here is this:

I’ll concede that in SOME conditions, you could get by with once-a-year, but that would NOT be the norm. You are clearly thinking about your tires, so that’s good. Most people are not like you, however.

I would agree with many of your points. I rotate mine every 5K ‘cause it’s easy to keep track of and it’s free.…

They are deliberate and predictable. They can be tossed around but prefer to be driven smoothly. They are very reassuring in how they handle and respond. They have a fit of forgiveness to them at first, but if you go too far, they are that much harder to recover.

Are people really THAT lazy these days?

Once a year? That’s not enough! 5-6K miles. That’s the rotation schedule.
