That bronco is nice looking. Awesome pictures, it looked like the weather was perfect for a trail run. And I agree those 42's are pretty bad ass. Cheers!
Yea I agree these light hybrids don't really do shit to move the bar. And ultimately I agree the state actors (china) and big business will need to make curbs before the shit that we do will really make any difference whatsoever.
I also spent my undergrad in a physics lab prototyping pieces of...
Ahh hell no they ain't tracking me! They could mandate that you have to show mileage during registration (or if your state certifies vehicles and charge then) maybe? I don't know, I still feel like there's a million ways to skin the cat.
I agree a lot of countries are fine if the pollution isn't in their back yards. There are more environmentally friendly ways to extract Li from minerals, but it'll make the Li cost more. I would argue here. It's MUCH easier to control liquid environmental hazard than a gaseous one... And...
It's a Toyota Highlander, not sure what trim level but it is nothing special. Wasn't trying to hide it but wasn't trying to compare a jeep to a porsche SUV or anything. And yes there was a tax credit, and I think it was $7500 at the time but I wasn't privy. The final price was still a few K...
I'm assuming she got a tax credit on it but I don't know how much it was. I also think that's a little bit of a different conversation, infrastructure tax on gas vs incentive for green vehicles. And this is her personal vehicle, so not sure why a business incentive would be involved.
I paid...
Yes it is, but that isn't what drove the 3x difference in registration cost. Her vehicle was slightly more than my jeep (maybe 4k but can't remember). Both were bought new, hers is a year older. When she asked why her registration was so high they told her it was a hybrid/EV tax they attach...
Could they have fubared your wheel speed sensors? I'd be a little PO'd if the more expensive/reputable shop missed things like that personally and I'd be questioning the quality of the other work involved...
Edit: I'm a noob and haven't had to deal with this, but I think from other posts I've...
In Indiana my wife's hybrid registration costs 3x what my ICE costs. Don't underestimate a governments ability to find ways to get our money... Granted none of the fucking money goes to roads here in Indiana. They are terrible...
IMHO. There needs to be strong international agreements for any of this to work. And there will be countries that won't comply and there should be adequate enforcement measure to get compliance.... Maybe take away a countries access to internet (which could be done) if they refuse to comply...
The industrial revolution started in the mid 1700's and was mostly powered by steam from coal initially and natural gas in later years. It also wasn't terribly efficient at using those resources. So the fact the glaciers were melting in the early 1900's does not preclude it from being some or...
There was some minor flooding today (edit in Indiana). The jeep loves playing in puddles as much as I do. I wish I had been able to get my dam build last year, lake would be full already this year...
Good choice, I'm jealous! I'm originally from northern Indiana. I've settled in southern Indiana, which I like a lot better. I'd love to move to Colorado but my god your housing prices are stupid and I'm to cheap... Cheers, nice to meet you buddy.
