So that's it then. That's what the cash for cars thing was all about. All those perfectly acceptable, but maybe not quite as efficient cars got crushed so that we would all have to have these things.
That whole 'scandal' with volkswagen with the skewing the MPG data, Harley Davidson was doing it too. But they got to sneak under the radar because bikes are fairly fuel efficient, and it was an american company.
Again, every single minute with my '83 toyota is a blessing. I can fix anything on it with a hammer, a wrench and a screwdriver. I'm gonna baby that little shitbox.
Harley Davidson was also less obvious because they weren't diesels, when diesels had become practically illegal at the casual consumer level due to the newer exhaust requirements being unlikely to be met without an expendable chemical scrub.
I had a blast installing mod chips on the OG Xbox back in the day, and made some decent money doing it. It looks like I will be starting a side hustle to mod cars in a couple of years.

Rotoscoping services are gonna get big. I'd rather not get an award for excellence in journalism from the CIA.
Begin the new cash for cars scam to destroy older cars! Fitting that the headline image is of Europe. I don't think they sell Opel's over here. They're just Buicks here anyway.
This is one of the most disgusting betrayals of the American people.
Dont buy a car past 2017. All 2018 plus cars have remote access to them, and a lot do past 2014. Do your research and buy a car that will work whether they want it to or not.
You can put 5k down and pay 500 bucks a month for 7 years to own a 7 year old surveillance system, or you can buy a 5k car and put 500 bucks a month into it to own your dream car that's brand new and exactly what you want.
or buy a Toyota Land Cruiser / 4Runner no newer than 2014 and drive it until driving an off-grid car becomes illegal in 20 years.
Thats what I said.
im agreeing with you, im also identifying specific vehicles that will last for 20+ years
Yeah they will. And if you put even a fraction of what a monthly payment would cost into them you will have a brand new 4runner at the end of it. Which is badass.
Learn to ride a motorcycle.
I do. Motorcycles are great. They arent capable of moving children or goods or families effectively.
Which is exactly why they haven't messed with them yet.
They don't care about your car.
They want you incapable and alone.
Something something 3rd amendment except it's virtual state agents in my silicon.
How does SCOTUS not shoot this down due to it being unconstitutional
Someone actually has to sue first.
You can't sue if you don't have standing.
You can't have standing if you haven't suffered any damages.
It's a shit show. Maybe we should just lynch our representatives that pass these laws? Metaphorically... of course...
Thanks. Its just crazy that people will let this pass
It has to work this way unfortunately. If the courts stepped in before it was passed, that would be legislating from the bench, which would defeat the purpose of separation of powers. Fixing the legislative branch is the job of the voters. Jewish demons make sure that voters get to choose between trans kids or shit like this. What a country.
It's amazing what duct tape, prisms, or metal foil can do. Be creative and build your dreams.
ok retard, how is duct taping that wireless transmitter and integrated monitoring software going for you?
fucking retard
*sigh* I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell my small children: Next time ask politely.
Now, even though it's been several years, I still have a background in radio infrastructure. Since "be creative" is too hard for you...
You can ground out a transmitter. You can Faraday Cage the transmitter. Oopsie-doodle, the antenna (mostly likely simply a wire) came loose while you were working on something else. Shame about that signal loss.
As for software, it can't process what it can't see.
As for the duct tape? Your in-car camera came loose and you taped it back in place.
Ford's new fangled camera system might think you're too excited to drive a car.
Eliminate those blind spots with a prism. They're not perfect, but they're functional for dealing with blind spots if you put them near where you'd be looking and getting looked at. Eliminate those blind spots with a prism, or even use the prism to help the on board cameras watch your blind spots with you. Safety first!
Now that I've spelled things out for you: take your gooner username and your bad attitude and get off my lawn.
ask you what politely? i dont know you, you made a retarded statement that i called you out on.
next time dont be retarded.
This is why they bought all the old cars years ago.
And then the cars all throw a conniption when winter comes around, and that infrared is reading different numbers than expected because people are both cold, and wearing coats.
Miatas are great
they are fun, no doubt. but the NA Miata is very very weak sauce.
I want off this fucking ride.
