Ive got to explain myself though. Its not as if Im speeding. Im not. When I have a chance to speed, I do drive faster than what the posted speed limit is, but I dont speeeeeed. If there are cars in front of me, I do follow the traffic and I dont weave in and out of traffic. Im a calm driver. But I get itchy and bitchy when drivers dont move out of the passing lane, or dont follow traffic. No...I dont road rage. I get itchy and bitchy on the inside. I seathe and boil, all to myself. But I remain calm when I drive, but when I get a chance to pass, oh do I pass. That pedal is mashed....but I eventually slow down as to not attract attention from the poe-leece. And I dont want to be involved in an accident...

I dont have an issue with idiots not turning on their headlights at night as much as I have a problem with what it seems like EVERY damn Toyota driver NOT driving the damn speed limit or keeping up pace with the traffic. And it doesnt matter what Toyota it is. Lexus is included. It dont matter what type of vehicle it is. It could be as lazy of of a vehicle like a Lexus ES or Prius to speedy Lexus 'F' cars and freakin' Supras... Yeah...Supra of all things. There is exemptions. There are a few 86s driving around in the summer and those drivers do drive normally. Sometimes briskly. But that one Supra driver that I encountered over the summer....phoquing yikes, man! Ive whined about that before in the random thoughts thread....I remember. But seeing Drew's complaint and enduring Toyotas today, yesterday, last week...I felt it was a good time to revisit my bitchin'.

Sees the American flag on the car and says to himself as a Canadian...YUP!!! Both handicapped and prick I says!!! So he is good to park in that space I says!!!

Im starting to like what I see. Not about this particular Chevy EV, although it is somewhat a nice lookin' EV, nicer amd fresher than the Tesla Model 3. What Im seeing and Im liking is that cross-over CUVs are starting to look like sedans again. This particular 'sedan' is not really a sedan. Not really a CUV either. Its in-between. A cross-crossover. The pendulum is swinging back the other way and there are more and more cross-over CUVs that are looking less and less like CUVs and are morphing back to sedan like appearances. And I like that.

Just a good 'ole boy Russian style circa the late 1990s early 2000s. I present you the comrade Lenin Uncle Yakov's truck Cousin Irina's 2 door coupe and 4x4 Korolenko's Tow Truck Nikolai P. Volkoff's police car and Kapitan Sergei's convertible

No. No. But kinda. But no. But yes because reasons. But no. And to answer your question. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/american-european-semi-trucks/ Each has a distinct shape and style that serve different driving purposes. And because of differences in regulations and roads, European trucks wouldn’t work in the states, and American trucks wouldn’t work in Europe. Let’s take a look at the details and differences of semi-trucks from different parts of the world. American semi-trucks are large, and often livable In America, size matters, especially when it comes to semi-trucks. The bigger they are, the more they can tow, and the faster they can tow it. Not only that, but American semi-trucks often have living spaces. That conventional cabin design, where the engine is in front of the driver, allows for more room inside for sleeping space and amenities. There are two reasons many semi-trucks have living spaces. For starters, American semi trucks tend to drive longer distances, which means stopping overnight at rest stops. But the main reasoning for having sleeping quarters is that many truckers live out of their rig. They’re called owner-operators, and get jobs as they go along a route, charting their own course until, eventually, they’re back in their home state. And much of an American truck’s life is spent on the interstate system, where the lanes are wide and the roads are straight. For that reason, the long wheelbase of the truck is acceptable and typically makes the ride much more bearable. Considering they are allowed to drive up to 12 hours every 24 hours, whereas European truckers can only drive 9 hours, that extra comfort is important. European trucks are smaller, and more manuverable As mentioned earlier, stricter regulations in Europe make for different trucks. For starters, a European semi-truck can only be 18.75 meters or about 61 feet. Meanwhile, American trucks can tow multiple trailers at a time. Because of these restrictions, European trucks have to be smaller, so they can tow more cargo. Considering American cabs can be 20 feet long, that only leaves 40 feet of room for cargo. The cab over engine design of European trucks allows for the cab itself to be less than 10 feet long. And because owner-operators are rare, and the hours on the road are shorter, European trucks don’t require large sleeper cabins or living spaces. But the shorter cabin also creates a shorter wheelbase, which improves handling. Europe has an interstate system, but the roads are windier and the lanes are more narrow. That’s why it’s crucial that the truck can navigate skinny city streets, and a cab over design makes that possible. They also don’t need massive engines, since semi-trucks in Europe are limited to 55 mph.

Im always on the business side of things. But... This is exactly how I feel. But this is how I also feel as well. And I applaud this. But we wouldnt need laws preventing that kind of shyte if only people wouldnt be so sheepish in giving into corporations. Yet some people will NEVER listen to what a government tells them. But die on a hill following conmen, evil doers and greedy corporate entities whose CEOs are all three: conmen, evildoers and greedy mthereffers.
