That resolution is non-binding. It's literally a waste of paper and time, like Wyoming Republicans--save for Liz Cheney in the context of 1/6--in general.Good thing states are rapidly shifting towards that goal. Oh wait.

So what you're saying is that it is GOP mental masturbation? Seems like there is a LOT of that going on these days...

I wonder how performative the Ca ban on ICE car sales is going to turn out to be seeing as how we've made zero plans to actually make it feasible. I mean, I'm sure governor dumbass has it all figured out and just forgot to tell us peasants.
As much as I'm in favor of green tech and renewables, I just can't help but see most new laws and ICE bans as fancy poor-taxes. I'm sure the billionaires who can afford Rolls Royce's upcoming EV would love a ban on ICE vehicles in the LA metro area as it would go a long way toward clearing the traffic that stands between their private jets and their homes that stay well irrigated through the drought.
Why do we always use masturbation as a negative term? We a bunch of nuns who think flicking the bean is the devil's work or something?
Did see some interesting machines. Most concepty was the kia ionic 7. The old schumacher f1 was interesting to see up close. Everything else kinda blended together. My kid (who was the reason we went) had a blast. I enjoyed talking with the salespeople strangely.
We'll let you tell @jdcamb that you left his car out in the sun and the paint faded.
$400k to start, how many clicks does it take to finish?
My immediate guess from your post was Tavarish.$400k to start, how many clicks does it take to finish?
I don't follow any YouTube car guys, but it must make some serious cash for them to do crap like this.
"I'm going to spend $1.5m rebuilding a car worth $800k, follow me for more smart money decisions."
It's the merchandise and whatnot, ontop of youtube money's. And there's a lot of it.
The only youtube car channel that I follow now is Cleetus McFarland- the amount of money they go through....yikes.
I stopped watching Tavarish and some others a while back. Too much clickbait, same old stuff, etc
The grandson watches Mr Beast and a ton of annoying Minecraft and Fortnite player's. I truly never understood watching someone else play a game I can play myself.
<edit> that annoying chick who just twin turboed a brand new Z06, damn.

Mitsubishi Just Uploaded 40 Years of Spectacular Classic Rally Footage to YouTube
Mitsubishi's motorsport comeback is underway, so let's celebrate some of its past racing accomplishments with these highlight reels.

The money Cleetus makes is absolutely staggering, don't have any inside intel, but the cars he's giving away combined with the track, race shop, and like two dozen projects add up to some serious monthly expenses to cover, money's coming from somewhere. I used to watch a ton of woodworkers that don't even come close to the reach the big car guys have, and had to quit when literally every single video was just them building newer more expensive shops. The money in YouTube is wild.
I don't know how Tavarish is going to make videos out of restoring the P1, as I assume virtually all of it would need McLaren's tools/facility to accomplish, but he's not going to lose a single dollar on the project. He could spend $1m restoring it (won't be close to that), and have it become worthless due to lack of provenance and he'll still walk away with a nice bag of loot.
I know some of the cash has come from the Uncle Chet guy. He's helped fund the race track purchase and a facility on another channel.
It also has to be some of the in video advertising. Some of those dudes would advertise anything.
And yeah free stuff. Free stuff like turbos and other parts are always nice.
One other channel I forgot about is Mighty Car Mods, out of Australia. Been following those guys for I don't know how long. It's different than the American stuff, but they offer some good content and stories. Plus some of the projects they do are quite different and none of the "what can we fit an LS motor into today" type of stuff.
He did a pretty good job of repairing in house his other McLaren that was crash damaged.

I don’t need a ‘weaponised’ automobile, ev or otherwise for three reasons:
1) Not an absolute cunt
2) Live in a (mostly) sensible country
3) Happy with size of penis and personal identity.
Seriously who the fuck buys these? Massive red flag. If you’re even tempted, maybe book a session at a therapist first, because that’s a mental illness issue for any nominal adult. I bet even @gonefirefightin thinks this is a dickmobile.
An interesting CA sidenote. You've likely heard about the ban on small, non emission compliant vehicles. A lawyer tells us in the offroad advocacy circles that this is likely not enforceable as it is a CARB directive, not a legislatively produced law on Federal lands. The firm told us they won't be issuing citations because they know a federal magistrate would likely throw it out, setting the stage for something they don't want. Not quite the same with road legal vehicles on public roads but CARB and gov hairdo are definitely ahead of themselves on some of this.
agreed on the rest
These assholes think nothing of just mandating that someone simply 'go buy a new car' because that's the world they live in.
Armored cars have been a thing forever. But usually people want them to be discreet. Like VW Jetta or S Class, depending on what one would be more likely to "normally" drive...

I'm buying one just in case I encounter you. So many very appropriate and useful features.More vomit inducing modern americana:

blinding strobe lights, electrified doorhandles, and wing mirrors that can shoot pepper spray – handy for putting those pesky cyclists in their place.
I mean it's practically a tesla. You love that shit!

oh canada.....
That will be an enforcement nightmare down here, we have such a mish-mash of federal and state managed lands you’d need GPS coordinates or a solid defense would like be “nah dog, I was 18’ to the left on the Fed turf”
Back in my armored vehicle building days we had a guy come by the shop with a purple Jeep Liberty he bought sight unseen at auction, turned out to be armored. A Stanag III rated Liberty, probably did 0-60 in twenty minutes.Armored cars have been a thing forever. But usually people want them to be discreet.
