I cannot speak to other States approach but here in NYS, your mileage is noted on your annual safety and emissions inspection. NYS already "tracks" my annual mileage. It would be relatively easy to set up in other States for an annual or semi-annual check of mileage as part of a registration event. 

A vehicle tax that goes towards road maintenance should be proportional to vehicle weight more than anything. Heavier vehicles are the ones causing more damage to the road.    So it really shouldn't be a powertrain tax, but a weight tax. Some EVs are super heavy, some aren't, same with every other vehicle. If you're scooting around in a vehicle that weighs 3,500 lbs and isn't doing much damage to the road, your tax should be much lower than someone driving a 6,500 lb vehicle regardless of what kind of powertrain it has. 

Damn, I have a shit ton of character then. 

Good eye. As someone who really appreciates good line flow in a design, I agree about the hood like not lining up with the window line being poorly done. I guess the height of it likes up with the decklid at it's highest point, so at least that's something. It's also possible having a higher beltline to line up with the hood line would have looked a little too chunky. 

Sounds like a pretty productive few days. Out of curiosity, where did you hear about your first point? I haven't seen said product mentioned on this site thus far. Is it possible a smaller truck with a BS front end could be the affordable bronco truck Borg talked about?

Confirmed. Aussies and Yanks are cut from the same cloth.

Yes, happened the moment America and Israel began this campaign, including all the canned soup/food ect, all due  to people doing a couple of weeks shop in advance…. Just in case things are not available later.

Did you Aussies hoard toilet paper like we Yanks did during covid?

he was down here to 1. sign off on a pickup project (vehicle with Bronco Sport front seen at Lara test area) 2. Warn Aussie government that its New Vehicle Efficiency Standard is putting T6 Engineering at risk 3. drive Ranger Super Duty and the vehicles it competes with like Landcruiser 70 series. 4. catch up with Ford’s V8 Supercars teams 4. attend the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix race

Make it a flat rate with an exception for vehicles driven less than 5000 miles per year as verified at registration time.
