I can only imagine some stupid rumor started floating around that doing this gives you a bit of free gas or something. Otherwise, it's just like, WHY

Illinois had a problem with a huge batch of bad plates about 10 years ago.. the numbers basically instantly rusted their first winter. It was a known problem, and they fixed it relatively quickly but it didn't help anyone who registered a car in that period.

They expected people to pay for replacements and warned they could be ticketed if the plate wasn't legible.

You missed the point. How you use relative age to refer to a woman, a young woman, an older woman, a teenage girl, etc., gives you a piece of potentially identifying information on an involved party if you know the people associated with someone. Remove the reference to where they are in their stages of life, distill it to "a female," and you remove that.

I'd like to think each of those exhausts are tuned differently and they all have solenoids and a controller so it can play music as you drive.

In March 2009, a 45-year-old man was admitted to the hospital in Skierniewice, Poland, after being struck by a car. The blood test showed blood alcohol content at 1.23%. The man survived but did not remember either the accident or the circumstances of his alcohol consumption.[56]

One such case was reported by O'Neil, and others in 1984. They report on a 30-year-old man who survived a blood alcohol concentration of 1,500 mg/100 ml (1.5%) blood after vigorous medical intervention.[57]

In South Africa, a man driving a Mercedes-Benz Vito light van containing 15 sheep, allegedly stolen from nearby farms, was arrested on December 22, 2010, near Queenstown in Eastern Cape. His blood had an alcohol content of 1.6 g/100 ml (1.6%). Also in the vehicle were five boys and a woman who were also arrested.[58]

In 2004, an unidentified Taiwanese woman died of alcohol intoxication after immersion for twelve hours in a bathtub filled with 40% ethanol. Her blood alcohol content was 1.35%. It was believed that she had immersed herself as a response to the SARS epidemic.[59]

In Poland, a homeless man was found sleeping half-naked on January 28, 2011, in Cieszyn. His blood had an alcohol level of 1.024%. Despite the temperature of −10 °C and extremely high blood alcohol content, the man survived.[60]

In December 2004, a man was admitted to the hospital in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, after being struck by a car. After detecting a strong alcohol odor, doctors at a hospital conducted a breath test which displayed the man's blood alcohol content at 0.914%.[61] The man was treated for serious injuries sustained in the crash and survived.[62]

In February 2005, French gendarmes from Bourg-en-Bresse, France, conducted a breath test on a man who had lost control of his car. He had an alcohol content of 0.976%.[63] He was not injured in the accident but received a custodial sentence and his driving license was canceled.

In 1982, a 24-year-old woman was admitted to the UCLA emergency room with a serum alcohol concentration of 1.51% (1,510 mg/dL), corresponding to a BAC of 1.33%. She was alert and oriented to person and place.[64] Serum alcohol concentration is not equal to nor calculated in the same way as blood alcohol content.[65]

In 2012, on Oct 26th a man from Olszewo-Borki community, Poland, who died in a car accident, recorded 2.23%, however the blood sample was collected from a wound and thus possibly contaminated.[66]

In 2013, on July 26 a 30-year-old man from Alfredówka, Poland, was found by Municipal Police Patrol from Nowa Dęba lying in the ditch along the road in Tarnowska Wola. At the hospital there was recorded that the man had 13.74 permille of alcohol in the blood (1.374%). The man survived.[67][68]

In 1995, a man from Wrocław caused a car accident near his hometown. He had an alcohol content of 1.48% (14,8 permille); he was tested five times but all results were the same. He died a few days later of injuries from the accident.[69]

People can argue all they want that it's not a bad looking car. Those people often fail to see the fact it has 2 sets of loving A pillars.

It's like someone sat down and thought "how can we make this abortion as awful inside as out? How about giving the driver EVEN MORE blind spots?!"

Obviously those are stupid and terrible but I remember seeing in some car magazine in the late 80's or early 90's that Volvo in the interest of safety was working on some concept where basically the A-pillars were super thin with diagonal lines between them like a truss, with glass over it so you could see through. It sure wasn't pretty at all but man you could see everything.

Edit: Nevermind, just ~30 year hazy memory, it was poo poo!

Almost everywhere has pay at the pump, so there's no longer a reason to go inside and be tempted by 3 chocolate bars for $3.33 or whatever. Seems like gas stations collectively shot themselves in the foot and created a catch-22: install pay at the pump machines, and nobody wants to come inside to buy the things they actually make money on, or don't install them, and then everyone just goes down the street to the place that does.

Mobil has put pay at the pump back in in NZ and weirdly it has a 6c/l discount over paying in the store

Not that it's a real discount, every chain has some sort of loyalty or discount scheme so 6c is about the least you'd expect.

Japan. If it's a small weird car that exists, the answer is Japan. It's a Toyota WiLL Vi and was one of the results of a weird multiple Japanese company partnership in order to aim products at a younger audience. I think they were only sold at select Toyota dealers.
