What I heard was that everyone was expecting some really serious economic turmoil so in the beginning prices were low. Everyone blew through their inventory and then things never got as bad as everyone was predicting (how I have no idea with how many people were out of work). That combined with...

From what I understand the used car market is kinda bonkers right now because there are so few used cars on the market.

I would never use these things unsupervised. If the dog chases a cat or squirrel across the line they will get shocked when they try to return. Also, it doesn't stop people (or stray dogs, or wildlife) from coming into your yard and doing something to your dog. Both of these aren't a big deal if...

Did a little googling. Sounds like you can pop the hood with a long screwdriver through the grill.

Just don't open it in front of a cop.

There's a really sketchy looking icecream truck I see in my area that plays jingle bells.

The walmart ones are pretty decent. They will hold up to rain, but wind can be an issue. From what I've seen even a heavy duty ones will have problems with wind. Anchoring them properly goes a long way. If the wind can pick lift a leg off the ground even a little a gust can turn the whole thing...

I'm surprised it doesn't have any way to detect a hand touching the steering wheel. AFAIK all other car manufacturers will only enable the lane keeping assist while hands are on the wheel.

I wish I knew how to build and true wheels. Its all voodoo magic as far as I can tell!
