“not wanting two standards for emissions in one of your largest markets”

I take your point that a company should stand up for the right things, regardless. In GM’s case, it may have been a pyrrhic victory under Trump — the hate from the bailout still lingers with them, and Trumpanistas would have welcomed an excuse to do the Dear Leader’s bidding on auto choice for a company…

I’ll be printing your comment on good paper, framing it and hanging it in my living room, because I enjoy fine art.

Both fair and reasonable, well said! 

GM can get fucked, along with the other CARB opponents. This will be my stance when I bring my doll hairs to the marketplace for my next car purchase. I say that as a current owner of a vehicle from a company to whom I’ll be expressing my encouragement that they eat shit. Regardless of the deal that was cut with CARB…

I heard he said Tim Allen and then went "ruff, ruff, ruff" 

That particular statement was referring to the previous generation of Skyhawk, a very different vehicle.

Unpopular opinion: Horsepower has become too readily available in production cars. Deledda at least has the skills to handle it, though apparently not the judgment, as so many surprises can happen on public roads. But that’s the point–think of all the people out there with effortless power under their right foot and…

YouTube took down my hobo bludgeoning videos under some trumped up, terms of service nonsense.

Agreed, but people generally admire the cars that were around when they grew up.

Can confirm. Got a cracked windshield on a rental car in New Mexico about 10 years ago.

Did you ever own a malaise-era GM car?  I did.  That is why I hate this POS.

My state only has emissions checks 

I bought a new car in 2017 and I've been driving with a broken windshield since 2017.  Cracked windshields are the norm in my state, there's no way anyone would tolerate this technology here

“Lots of people put off necessary windshield repair and replacement. Some folks, unfortunately, need to be prodded, and that’s part of the idea here too, as the application goes onto explain:”

I mean, this example above is exceptionally rare but if I could get a couple grand? Might explore it but I’d rather just sit on it for now. I’ve got a number of other classic NES and SNES games in similar condition. My wife’s personal favorite is her Earthbound. I believe we still have that with original manual and…

“Alabama’s state motto should be: ‘Something’s Wrong Here.’”

I like having to go out into the garage to get something and seeing my car parked immobile in the garage because I don't have to drive anywhere this year

Maybe you should sell it and buy a house?
