It ended in 83, given car design timelines it lines up decently. But you're right that the wedge styles were a big factor, since you needed a way to hit the minimum headlight height requirements in some way. And the crash regs did make those low hoodlines unfeasible, so there's not much reason for popups even if you could make them pass crash tests by themselves.

For some reason this post made me imagine a modern height truck with pop ups on the bonnet a solid 5+ feet in the air just blinding the absolute gently caress out of everything on the streets.

Every single one of the conservative judges lied under oath that Roe v. Wade was "settled law" when they were appointed.
And at least one of them suddenly had their house paid off after they were confirmed, reportedly.
And then there's Thomas, who can't make his wife keep her mouth shut, not that it matters, apparently.

So a recent thing here in Australia is that all Heavy Vehicles are now registered under a 'National Heavy Vehicle' set of plates, not state specific.

Great bodywork, but still stuck with that amazingly discordant roofline. I hate that rear section on the stock Tahoe, much less this one.
I mean, what angle do you like? There's at least 3 different angles going on with the pillars...
It would be so much cleaner if they didn't angle the C-pillar forward.

They're not wrong about the styling and pain making it looks smaller, though. Having actual curves and whatnot on the sides make it look significantly less massive. The regular Tahoe has no styling lines or creases on the sides at all. It's just a massive vertical slab of steel, and looks it.

It's admirable in the attempt, insofar as it's a complete reskin aside from the greenhouse, rather than just a nose-job like a lot of them.

"Remanufactured" i.e. built LHD in the motherland, then shipped to Australia and converted. Walkinshaw Automotive Group does the Silverado, Camaro, RAM and supposed to be also doing the Tundra soon, while Thai company RMA does F-series. Sold as-new with full corporate backing.

I was curious so I looked up what rego you would pay for a heavy vehicle and the shithead is paying less than standard 4cyl rego in QLD for his huge pile of garbage. $653 vs $793 for anything 4cyl.

Registration over here is based on how many cylinders the engine has, it varies a bit between states but here in Queensland its $716 per year at the cheapest for 1-3 cylinders or electric, up to $1370 for 9-12 cylinders. don't know what you do if you've got some weirdo W16 or whatever. It does include compulsory third party insurance, but still pretty expensive if you're trying to keep a few cars. I also under quoted for 4 cylinder rego in my original post, and possibly over quoted for the bullshit heavy vehicle rego.

And yeah, QLD = Queensland and rego = registration.

Does this mean you pay $716-1370 for registration and that includes liability insurance? Or does 3rd party insurance mean something else? If that's with liability that's not bad.

Basically a male Margaret Thatcher
Just as notes, the NHVR is compulsory for vehicles over 4.5t GVM and also the operators need to comply with the NHV laws and licenses - and on tollways pay the heavy vehicle rates and other charges which are extensive.

The mudflaps allude to it being operated by a company, (likely transport esp with that hitch) so it's likely not a private owner being an rear end in a top hat.

third party insurance usually means third party personal,so if you injure someone else they are covered - and that coverage is very extensive

Third party property is additional in NSW, I think the same in QLD
