So then opt out and hire your own lawyer?

I’ve only ever bought used cars in my life and they have all been extremely clean and well kept. It just takes a bit more effort to find them.

You don’t have to sell it back until the end of 2017, so have at it.

It goes both ways, without a million different government regulations it would be much more feasible for new companies to enter the auto market. Big companies can afford the expense of compliance but it is difficult for smaller companies simply due to lower volume.

Tesla still needs to grow their asset base tenfold before they can really compete in the mass market. Claiming net income looks nice but they need to reinvest every dollar they make back into the company to accomplish their long-term objectives. In that sense their Q3 profit is a “gimmick” but only because Tesla would…

All of the cars in this post have a lower hoodline than the Hilux.

In case you’re not joking, that means there’s a fault in your ABS system.

Is it that hard to understand how “restricted in amount” would be considered a positive for many buyers?

So how do you propose allocating this resource? You can’t just stick homeless people in random vacant homes and expect a successful outcome. Obviously not all homeless are addicts or low functioning but those who are will need a ton of support (both personal and financial) to keep a home in good working order or else…

It’s interesting how you accuse an engineer of not knowing about technology when my much simpler analogy flew straight over your head.

Just because technology has since outclassed cars from 50 years ago doesn’t make that period any less of a golden age. Your statement is about as reasonable as saying Citizen Kane didn’t represent “the golden age” of cinema because it was filmed in black and white while modern films are in color.

I liked the previous articles but this one is just too much of a reach, at least for such dramatic language. Tone it down a little. Burning less than a microliter of oil in each combustion cycle is no reason to panic. Sure it’s annoying, especially so on a luxury car, and it can cause mildly accelerated failure of…

Are you sure about that last statement? Insurance companies pass their costs onto the consumer, with additional profit margin. Often insurance pricing structures are tightly regulated. If there is a sharp downturn in accidents then there is reduced need for insurance companies, for example widespread adoption of…

As a industrial engineer who is gainfully employed in an Oil & Gas sector that will outlast electrification I do not think I made a mistake. The world will still need chemicals and polymers in a renewable energy economy and natural gas is still going to be the cheapest route to many of these.

Internal combustion engines are highly optimized for cost vs. performance these days. You’re not going to see any value for money in engine configurations which sharply deviate from the 0.5 L/cyl rule of thumb.

It’s a simple matter of supply and demand. There are only 1696 spots available on NFL rosters, and there are many more players than that who would like a spot on an NFL roster. The average replacement-level player simply does not have enough leverage to demand lots of guaranteed money when the team could just as…

From the driver’s POV they should have been wondering why the other side of the road was directly in front of the “exit”. There is no way that dashcam footage would justify this in any way.

if it’s an abuse of his civil rights, there’s no way he’s paying a dime

The news crew is not providing anything beyond entertainment value by standing out in that hurricane, so it that sense yes absolutely.

Or... they could broadcast a shot of the storm while commenting in the news room. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?
