The bill says "passive" which makes me suspect it's not going to be a blow test but rather how you're actually driving. In which case it'll also help against sleepy drivers for that matter and that has already existed in cars for 5.. 6? quite a while actually. My toyota has it from 2018.

I'm not sure if the early 80s toyota hilux was designed with computers but that thing was completely indestructible largely because it was impressively over-engineered and had incredible build quality. Still remember when I had my 1982 toyota hilux compression tested at ~250k miles and the engine was within factory specs for new.

Yeah in my state you don't need temp tags or registration, you technically just need a scrawled on bill of sale and that's good for 30 days. You don't even need in transits on the car. I think South Dakota/North Dakota and Wyoming are the same. There's also no smog tests, etc which would be a barrier for almost everything I see on those channels in other states. Also, for a lot of the great plains/mountain west states like... these cars are old lovely ones that maybe they'd pull over if they got bored but mostly "fit in" with the landscape and probably think are some random persons kids/project car so why bother. Relatedly I at one time owned a 1982 Toyota pickup (Rip sweet prince) starting in 2001. I didn't license it until 2003. Being a poor college kid it was $200 from a friend and licensing was like $75 who has that kind of money. Anyway, I sort of discovered old rusted out pickups just are invisible to cops. Their eyes sort of slide over them, like the rust and obvious fact it's held together by sheer mechanical brilliance of the original engineers + hope makes them pity you? I don't know, but legitimately never licensed it for 2 years as a daily driver and never got pulled over. Hilariously I discovered that the lack of a license plate meant the parking cops couldn't _tow_ my car at the university because their ticketing system only let them assign tickets to cars with license plates. I eventually got a hand written note on my truck telling me they would be able to tow my vehicle as a nuisance vehicle with some change in regulations so i finally licensed it. adaz fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jan 16, 2022 |

I'm just.. what engine did they find to even make 8 mpg in TYOOL 2022????? Is it just rapped out at 5k rpm all the time? Was there a surplus of tri-power 427s somewhere ??? like what on earth

dissss posted:In NZ they replaced postal mopeds and bicycles with these things a few years back: Riding one of those on US roads is a death sentence. Like, the crash test rating of that is going to be just the loving grim reaper. Also, probably not enough capacity. When Dad retired he briefly started rural postal carrier because he was bored and thought it'd be fun. TLDR; peopel get _Everything_ from amazon nowadays and it's like hauling 80lb bags of dog food and poo poo to people's door. He would pretty consistently fill up his truck with just big rear end bulk freight for lack of a better term.

Scratch Monkey posted:I don't want comfort. If I wanted comfort I'd get something built for comfort. I want bed space. I want utility. I want all the things pickup trucks were meant for. They used to make 2 door access cabs with 8 foot beds which are basically what I think almost everyone wants out of a work or utility truck. Just a little extra room in back so you ahve some more interior cab room and can, in a desperate situation, toss a kid or adult sideways back there and the full 8 foot bed for useful stuff.

they are great work and farm trucks. also tend to be a tiny bit cheaper - or at least used to be - than the access/extended cabs.

mobby_6kl posted:UK Gallons are bigger than US Gallons apparently. I don't know how you allowed to happen! Europe is wild. I routinely drive over 300km just to go into the office. It's like 3 turns and all 120km/h on freeways. Also a reason that EV will have problems penetrating some markets like out here in substantial rural areas people routinely drive more than an EV cars range in a single day. Also why it makes complete sense for urban markets or like europe or more densely populated parts of the US where such a trip is maybe once a year if that.

Saukkis posted:The solar panels. The wind turbines. The power cable if there are some electrons left over. This is not a life and death situation, the power company can come axe the cable if they are too much of a nuisance, they will still have some electricity available. So like large parts of the US are hundreds of miles of nothingness. My home state for example, once I start heading west towards Wyoming & Montana there just isn't anything. It's.. rock. Dirt. a scattered railroad town (maybe). You don't just "build power lines" out here or EV stations. It's so expensive to do! Wyoming is, for those who haven't been there, a godawful hell zone that has 3 things in it - rock, wind, and oil. Despite huge wind energy potential it really hasn't happened because you gotta run the transmission lines out there and it's just not economical outside the "big" cities of like Casper. Western Nebraska is the same. It's basically free, the land isn't really used for anything outside of grazing (and even then, requires dozens/hundreds of acres per every cow) so it's cheap and ALL it does is blow wind. But nobody has really invested in that and part of the reason is just there aren't the high grade transmission lines to pull that power from there to the places that need it. So for this to all work we need charging stations all along the big interstates (i-80, i-90, i-70, i-35, etc) that run through these godforsaken places. You're talking huge expenditures to drag in new power lines to run to the EV charging stations. That's _assuming_ there is a power plant nearby that can feed them because most of these states have had really static population growth so haven't exactly invested in brand new power plants. Maybe wind can help with that but it is occasionally not windy even in Wyoming. People are trying to handwave stuff like this away but for any sort of charging infrastructure to exist you're talking expenditures for rural power that we've only seen a handful of times - in North Dakota when the Bakken was developed and when the ICBM fields were first built in the 60s. EVs are great and amazing, but true die hards just forget that a lot of people dont just live on the coast or in gigantic cities. adaz fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Jan 10, 2023 |

I had a Hilux all through college with the 22r motor. It couldn't easily break 60 on account of the 4, the floor was rusted through the turn radius was "eventually" and if you had to stomp on the brakes I hope you didn't skip arm day because without power steering you are going to have to wrestle with it as it skips around and tries to murder you.and everyone around you. However. I paid 200 for it. Lasted me 5 years of college. It repeatedly would notify me of something broken by not starting but giving me a workaround. Starter motor dead? That's fine 2 college kids and a slight incline bamo. Distributor dead? Nonsense you just smash on it a few times kind of pry the contacts a bit and sure it's running on 2 but it'll make it to O'Reilly's. Battery's don't die it's just a good idea to remember an incline solves both battery and starter problems. Forget your key? No worries the steal me junction was like 2 wires.and whatever you could find that was conductive. When I finally brought it to a mechanic to have a real tuneup done on account of idk some extra cash I had that semester the engine tested in factory specs for compression and had original clutch and transmission on it. With 230k miles. Do not disparage the glory of those trucks. We were but poor beggars unused to the light of the machine god until verily they were given to us. Our eyes opened and we saw, there, the light and glory. adaz fucked around with this message at 11:58 on Mar 24, 2024 |

Knowing Tesla they are probably using a glue that was never tested below 70 F or some poo poo so when the car is in a location that isn't socal its steering wheel just disintegrates.
