    Congress removes CARB and other state's ability to set emissions standards

    Outlaw everything with your argument. Do people really need air conditioning? What about electricity all day and night? Its crowded so people must give up their rights?

    High maintenance costs and lack of fuel strands hydrogen busses

    I was interested until your last statement about the success of electric grid storage. It has been one failure (or fire) after another in California. It's an environmental catastrophe

    Best methods to rule out blown head gasket following loss of serpentine belt

    Doesn't sound promising at the end. Pushing coolant into the overflow and gurgling sounds could be a headgasket. You could also be lucky and just got a bunch of air in it. Gauges on newer cars are awful, on 90s BMWs by the time it was showing hot it was too late and damage was usually done. You...

    Becoming a hotshot driver?

    At least they offer paid training/apprenticeship. So many companies complain they can't find workers and refuse to pay a living wage or train anyone. Im pretty burned out at my job and would like to retire early and try something else

    Ignoring CEL

    Just got back from a week trip to Mexico. I think every car I rode in had either the CEL on, the TPMS light on or both.

    I thought that's only when it's cold?

    Best States to Raise a Family

    Same here. California needs it's own map. Its way too big. Some spots are great, others I won't even visit. The state really should be broken up to be manageable.

    Aged-out Tires From 2011

    That didn't take long. I've had the same luck with Michellin tires. Ridiculously long warranty only to dry rot in a few years. Im not driving 30k miles a year which is about how they design them to last

    Aged-out Tires From 2011

    Wow, those are bad. I just replaced my BFG KO2s from 2015, plenty of tread but starting to concern me. My 2000 Honda spare exploded in the trunk a few months back. Never been used, zero cracks previously. I kept it aired up every few months.
