I said for old pre-OBD2 vehicles, not new vehicles. If some guy with a 20 year old car is smart enough to program the systems to do what VW did in order to pass, you’ll never be able to create laws that his car would fail.

Somebody gets it!
Yeah, and what about those older than 1998? What about those with modern engines swapped into an older chassis? What about those with modernized EFI in a 1st gen EFI vehicle? What about those with aftermarket EFI that has cleaner emissions than stock but fails on technicalities (no CARB certification number, replaced…
It’s not about how new cars are handled, it’s about the older cars. It should be “Does it pass the sniffer test?” and if the answer is “Yes”, send them down the road. The reality is, it can pass the sniffer and fail the test because of a failed visual inspection, or a too new of an engine for that chassis (yes, you…
The “crap” they are talking about is not being able to legally modify the vehicle that makes it run more efficiently, pollute less, etc. simply because the modification(s) that made it possible doesn’t have CARB certification (which is VERY expensive and takes years to accomplish for each product, often making the…
CARB is great for some things but it makes absolutely no sense how they treat older vehicles that aren’t old enough to be exempt and also aren’t new enough to be OBD2 compliant. The bottom line is, modifications shouldn’t matter at all. Put the sniffer in the exhaust and if it passes the test, it should be legal to…
While that is all true, the problem with him not conceding has more to do with how it restricts Biden’s transition team from being able to set up their administration, have office space in government buildings, get the money set aside for the transition ($9.x million I believe), etc. So while it’s a formality, there…
Yeah, but how many views do you need to average when you upload over 100 videos per year for the last 5 years (he’s been uploading 12 years but his views seem to have taken off 5 years ago where he’s got some with well over a million views). Now add in paid promotions, sponsorships, etc. and it’s getting VERY…
That video never stops getting views, nor do any of the others. So each video added is a source of revenue forever. Plus, the more videos he releases, the better odds there are that one of the videos goes viral and he makes 7 figures off of it. Look at his total views for all of his videos and then do the math again,…
Except, they didn’t do that. Here is what was posted above:
I dealt with a different Koon’s dealership 2 years ago while trying to buy a car and they were the shadiest, lying, cheating, piece of chit I’d ever dealt with. That’s saying something considering my disdain for dealership employees in general. The last straw was them trying to tack on $2000 in “nonsense” fees and…
I bought in April when it was under $20, decided they were a fraud and sold it near $70 a share in June and have watched it slowly drop ever since. It’s not often I get to feel like an expert with stocks but I nailed this one. Let’s hope NIO works the same way for me (nailing it, not the fraud part).
That’s fine, you can compare them how ever you like. I’m just saying I looked into buying a Stinger from the day they were released and I was constantly checking incentives and such for 2 years and I NEVER found a time when there wasn’t some sort of huge cash back or dealer incentive going on. I still check from time…
I’m talking about manufacturer incentives. They basically always have one or two “bonus cash” offers available on them. Currently there is a $5000 and $4000 bonus cash offer available on Stingers for instance. These have nothing to do with the dealers. When I bought mine there was a $7k bonus offer available for leases…
The silver isn’t flat grey, it just photographs that way. If you see it up close it is silver.
There are limitations to what colors the red is available with, and what trim levels it’s available with, and certain colors aren’t available in certain trims. This also changed some year to year. So you can’t just get the…
And yet I’ve owned mine for over a year and haven’t had a single issue with it...rotors are fine, paint is fine, everything is fine other than my wife having whiplash from all the power (it’s got some mods). Pretty certain you can find an owner of ANY car who’s had a bad experience. The question is, is that the norm…
Nobody (with half a brain) is paying full price for these. Most are paying $4000-$10000 under the advertised price. For example, my AWD TTV6 was only $34k.
Yeah, this repair is not difficult. Just clean off the old brazing and paint, turn the MIG down, and weld in short sections to avoid overheating the tubing. I am not a professional welder but I would have no problem repairing this with about 30 minutes to prep/clean it and about 5 minutes to weld it. Someone with a…
Knowing how Dodge does their other Hellcat powered vehicles, it’s likely the only place this actually blows the Raptor out of the water is HP/TQ. Suspension will likely be less capable similar to how the other Hellcat powered Dodges are big on power but lag behind the competition in suspension tuning, interior…
It appears you actually don’t know what he’s talking about...
