Where/how does New York fit into this? You mentioned Wyoming (WY), so I can’t seem to connect New York to this. Anyway, 70% transparency means 30% tint, so what is the issue, since in NY it is compliant?
In Wyoming, the law says 72% transparency (28% tint), but the label says 70% minimum, which means it could be in compliance if someone wanted to test it.
My junk mail is getting exhausting too. Always credit card applications, real estate agents, and life insurance applications. All of it goes straight into the shredder as soon as I get back to the house.
That would be fun to watch but in the end only the teams with the deepest pockets win and the cost to compete would be astronomical by using so many super expensive materials and engineering resources.
The new hypercars are roughly 25% of the cost of the previous ones and that cost was what caused most of the mfrs to pull out a few years ago.
I was expecting to see a seam or something. That's gonna be super expensive to replace when it gets cracked. You would think they'd have a windshield that large, especially on a fleet vehicle where repair costs are important, be made up of multiple pieces of glass, so you could just replace part of it if there was damage. But I guess not.
I don't know about everyone else here, but my junk mail is getting to be overwhelming. I must be on dozens of lists, and it is worse now in an election year. The ones that are really annoying are the ones that include a check that I'm supposed to be guilted into matching and returning. Others are the 11x14 surveys I get almost weekly.
Many of the non-profits are abusing their special postal rates, and the extra load is a substantial part of what's causing the USPS to do two deliveries per day and sometimes Sunday in some areas. And buy ever bigger trucks to carry it all. I would restrict N-P's to one business size envelope with two pages max and a return envelope to post at a non-profit rate. Any bigger would mail at standard retail rate. With ACH I get very few hard copy bills anymore. My Internet bill is one of the humorous ones. Every bill exhorts me to "Just go Paperless-less waste" etc But usually included is a 6 color flyer inviting me to get premium channels or buy a pay-per view event.
The mind boggles at what rolling stock would be necessary if we didn't have email.
Around here the local dealers can sell an STX 4x4 with a V8 off the transport truck while the optioned out high end trims which can cost up to $20k more sit around. It's not that they don't stock STXs or lower optioned XLTs it's just that they sell fast. Now different areas have different income demographics and different customers. I live in a very rural area and for the country folk they still really like V8s for pickups that end up in small towns or out at the farm or ranch.
I'd say getting the right product/price matters a lot on the local market. Just the fact that RAM and Toyota have completely gotten rid of the V8 option (Not to mention RAM and Toyota have generally lost their mind with pricing) will push some of those customers to Ford or GM products in the 1/2 ton market.
