I could have sworn there was a thing about being denied future entry if convicted of illegal entry and/or remaining after visa expiration?

Yeah, that's what I meant, but failed to say. Thanks for fleshing out my thought. But yeah, that's gone be the only way. Modularity to make replacing bad cells easier and more cost efficient. 

I keep saying it, but to bring the cost of these battery packs down, there is going to have to be some standardization of modules that can scaled as small or as large as they need to be for the application. Otherwise, every battery pack is an expensive one-off proposition. Standardization and modularity will also make…

Pathfinder Rock Creek, 2022+. No more cvt, uses the ZF 9 speed. 295hp naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 that is tried and true with a design from essentially 1995. Seats 8, or 7 with the 2nd row Captain's chairs. Plenty of space for whatever you need to carry. Tows 6000 lbs with the towing package (which is standard on the…

Everyone keeps referring to the “controlling ex-husband”. But what if he just didn’t think it was a good idea to buy a car, mid-pandemic, that had increased significantly in price for no real reason other than demand. Additionally, revisiting the pandemic subject, spending that much money on a car that you’d probably…

Thank you! I was offended at his description of the 90's model as I had ‘90 MX-6 GT and I agree with you. It was a perfectly wedgy, fender flared product of it’s time. The turbo was ridiculously torquey making driveability no problem. On thing I'll never forget we're the front seats though. Driver's seat was…

Let me bring this to your attention. V12 Mercedes S600 with a $12K custom exhaust that actually sounds like an F1 car at WOT. Start around the 7m 50s mark. 

They could make more money. In England, at least it used to be, you paid individually for every driving lesson session and they would fail you quick, fast, and in a hurry for things like, not checking your mirrors before a lane change, rolling backwards when starting up a hill (not using handbrake to secure the car),…

Some might say he's a Titan in his field. 

In Texas, probably not surprisingly, yes. Wife has a Chevy Bolt and the state legislators voted to double the the inspection fee for EVs. 

I’d like to add regarding automatic headlights, every year since 2019 I have taken my car with automatic headlights for state inspection and every year the inspection yahoos turn off my headlights. The 1st time it happened, a cop pulled me over. Subsequent times, I kind of get shocked by how bright my dashboard lights…

I kind of agree, but your amounts are way off on what he could be potentially be paying if we take the following examples into consideration. Case in point:

Agreed, and tightening up the light truck loopholes, now that light trucks are the majority of vehicles being sold, would go a long way. 

I'd be okay if they called it a fastback or sport back, but coupé is a bridge too far. 

Mostly agreed. Sedan should have separated cargo and people compartments. Any *.UV would have a cargo compartment shared with the cabin. At “best” I could call it a hatchback. Like a giant oversized VW Golf. 

Mercedes saying something is so doesn’t automatically make it so. They live in bizarro world.

You seem to be stuck on the historical definition. 

I agree, they can program all these algorithms in automatic transmissions that provide a best case in testing conditions at steady state speeds, but you can’t completely take the human element out due to different driving styles. Also, no one wants manual suvs so that's just a net gain to the automakers. 

In all fairness, I’m a black male and my parents were already worried enough about me driving home from Alabama, let alone driving up there and doubling the opportunity for L.E. Interactions while driving a car with temporary tags. 

I did the same. Live in Texas and bought my car in Alabama. Flew there for about $200 and drove it home. Saved about $5K over local market prices.
