That came from regulations put forth by the EPA

I want polar bears, but really wish Florida would drown? How can I pragmatically balance both wishes?

Are you calling for more regulations?

The dirtbag secrets, and the threat of reveal is what keeps the party in line. It’s like the KGB.

I know farmers hate getting regulated. But with all the farming subsidies they rape from the taxpayers and all, it’s hard to tell where their asses end and their mouths begin.

You can say the same thing about brexit, the Philippines , and the surging popularity of the far right in continental Europe. its not a skill that’s exclusive to the US

You know what else is a kick in the teeth to poorer people? No healthcare, no wage growth since the 1980s, and widening income gaps.

I’m saying that regulations have not prevented the US from selling the most cars ever last year, from US automakers from reporting all time highs in profitability, and producing the most cars ever on US soil. We should not be loosening regulations.

Why CARB exists

How does it drive? Does it feel like a more substantial car (like a Golf or A3) or does it feel like a (chintzy) commuter car (like a Yaris or Aveo)

4 years is cheerfully optimistic

Good catch

For general aviation, yeah. Not for commercial flight though. The smallest I’ve sat for commercial flight has to be a Mahindra /Gipps Airvan 10

I flew a C version on United Express from Jackson Hole to Denver. I was a little kid at the time, and I still remember needing to bend over to just get in.

There used to be a joke in the 90s that China Airlines single handedly keeps EVA in business

You think CRJs are bad?

When I lived in San Diego, I’d see renaults, PSA cars, hi luxes, rangers.

Fact is that the Ford Everest is like a 90k AUD car, 65k+ in USD w/ GST, so approx. 55K+ in USD without tax. It’s an excellent car that is compared favorably (with intention) to the Land Cruiser Prado and Nissan Patrol. It’s basically too good and too expensive of a car for the US market.

I’ve driven the Everest extensively. I want the Everest here in the US.

CNCAP is an initiative by the Chinese government that have greatly improved the safety of domestic vehicles. They basically had to shame the manufacturers into safety by adopting EuroNCAP standards.
