    I still contend that ICE to EV conversions for older cars is going to become a tremendous growth industry in the coming years. And since you're merely modifying old cars and not building new ones you won't have to meet all the new requirements (this is how hot rod shops avoid having to put ABS and airbags in the cars they restore and sell).

    Now, we are all DUI offenders?

    There are two ways to look at criminal justice, either everyone is innocent until proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent.
    There are two ways to look at the law; "everything is allowed except that which is expressly forbidden" and "everything is forbidden except that which is expressly allowed".


    Our justice system used to be predicated on the first one of both of those, but there's no power for the elites in that.


    These are the same people that say things like "due process is a white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal concept" when someone says "maybe we should wait until all the facts come out" when someone they don't like is accused of a crime.

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    I agree 100%. Of course I'm wildly derailing the topic here I am banking on that though, so I'll still be driving the same shit when I'm 92. Probably not though, cause my own odometer won't last anywhere near that long, but hey. Maybe my kids will...

    So if all the man-bun wearing gender identifying trendsetters want to suck a hose every time they get into a new vehicle to compete with the Jones'... a side effect is the value of all old vehicles will also go way, way up. Maybe eventually it'll be a lesser version of transferrable, where the used vehicles are worth dramatically more than new, because there is so much of them that is legislated away.

    I remember from living in Germany that places that served would take your keys and not return them unless you passed the blow test. As I was a kid I don't recall if it was on base or german.
