However, the Republicans are the party of states’ rights. They should stick to the foundation of their party and let California set their own standards if they want.

OK,  I like the idea of it competing. Sounds good to me.

I’m pretty sure that significant parts of the design changed when they sent it to Lambo for a going-over, such as the valve shape and size

I don’t think that tweels would have any more compression/travel capability than pneumatic tires. However, they might have more lateral stiffness because a ruler-like support would bend easily vertically, but be very stiff horizontally. However, this might allow for higher profile tires, which could add suspension…

so you hated the owners.

And the doors look like someone cut random chunks out of them too.

Want one? They’re Italian! (I know they’re not really)

thought that was a photoshop at first. I hate it even more now that i’ve seen what it replaced

all of the big 3's 3/4 ton trucks’ fenders are 2" higher above the wheel than they need to be. And they put a wall on top, making double as tall as it was 20 years ago.

the Pacifica is not a CUV

like dropping the tail to hide the spoiler and actively make it handle worse?

The Viper engine was gone over by Lamborghini, which made it drastically different from the truck v10 it was based on. There was a Road and Track article by Lutz on it couple months ago.

I dunno about country, but planet is definitely correct.

It’s interesting how much taller the new one is.

The slight inconvenience in loading the trunk is the only reason not to that I can think of. If you car is mid-engined, there is literally no downside.

Last century’s fire management strategy of “put out all the fires” has led to a lot more for the recent megafires. That said, having Trump actively try to make the environment hotter and drier doesn’t help.

Well, you can, but only if there are no safety regulations.

Before Boeing was taken over, they had an engineer program to catch safety errors and streamline production. Then the new owners shut that program down because it saved relatively little money, and the newly marginalized engineers appear to have grown less professional. I believe the owners took an engineer out of the…

Really? I still see the eyes up top, with weird cheek growths.

This sounds like you had your mind made up on what happened before you read about the situation.
