I gained about 3-4 MPG one day with my BMW by turning it off at every red light. So..........
How about you do the following: Get your big SUV and have a little (10 hp?) or so auxiliary engine for heat/AC/charging and turn the main engine off when stopped.
I recall when busing was briefly proposed for my area. We are all 100% agreed we wouldn't be going to the hood unless the po-po rounded us up with dogs and forced us at gunpoint and likely not even then.
Until a few years ago, I could leave the country at will. I once filed my international flight plan over the radio after I WAS ALREADY ON MY WAY. They only needed *my* name as the pilot for recod keeping and couldn't care less about who else was with me. Now - thanks to EAPIS - I have to submit a passenger manifest IN ADVANCE to see if the passengers ARE ALLOWED TO LEAVE OR NOT.
People in the rest of France think Parisians are a-holes too;)
On vacation trying to read a bulletin about a dive trip, I say excusez-moi to the French speaking girl in the way. She turns at me quite angry WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME WHAT ARE YOU SAYING. My friend says "Are you from Paris" and she about loses it YOU SPY ON ME HOW YOU KNOW I LIVE PARIS
Fun in France - total prick of a waiter says "I don't speak English" in perfect unaccented English in response to my USAian-accented French when ordering. So *after* we get our food, I smile at him and tell him his mother sucks donkey balls.
So pot is the one drug in the entire world that the more you do the better?
It does sound like something my stoner friends would say LOL.
Back in reality, some of them chilled out - reduced their intake - and got real lives and some still live like 16 year-olds at the age that their parents should be worried about their grandkids and not them.
*free country - IMHO grow what you want and smoke it all in the middle of your front yard with a neon sign saying POT HERE and that should totally legal.
Sorry dude - I grew up with burnouts. You have do a lot of weed for a long time, but they SURELY weren't any smarter in any way that was obvious to an external observer. They did seem pretty happy though - just sitting on the couch was a great day for them.
I used to own an MR2 and we had one guy on the forums in the UK. He was going on about all his alarms and tracking devices and how hard it would be to steal his car. Last we heard, it was seen heading out of town on a flatbed and never did get recovered LOL
As a BMW owner, I can say that it seems 85% of the people who come near me turn into assholes when they see the blue-and-white symbol. Do you REALLY need to play boy racer in your Camaro and pass me on the right, drop back, pass me on the left, get ahead of me, and slam on the brakes when I have 3 little kids and a freaking DOG in the car? Do I look like I want to race you?
Do you need to make dumb-ass global warming comments when my car gets better MPG than yours?
Do you really need to carry on about the 1%ers ruining everything when my car has 200,000 miles on it?
In the USA, DMV = Department of Motor Vehicles and in most areas the DMV is famously the dumping ground for all the local government employees that hate their jobs and hate their customers. "DMV" or "MVA - motor vehicle administration" is a code word for endless lines, long waits, filling out forms, and slow moving rude employees.
"I live in a 3rd world dump where the government can't do anything right, so that means no government should try"
I live in a place where the police are fairly competent, we don't need private security, and the hospitals are excellent. We actually developed what is now the world standard for shock-trauma right here. 1st world living costs a lot of money, but you DO get what you pay for;)
I have two dogs. I give them each a bone. Dog A runs outside and buries her bone and then comes back in and steals the bone from dog B. Latter, B has given up on bones and goes outside to sleep. A then digs up the bone and drops it on B to wake her up and tears-ass off across the yard with the bone and buries it again. She always smooths the grass and dirt out to make it non-trivial for anyone else to find it. Sounds like planning to me!
Or.......the cat slowly creeps from the bedroom down the stairs to within 2 feet of the dog and then runs full blast back upstairs. Repeat about 5 times. WTF? On the 6th time the cat bats the dog between the eyes and before the dog can even turn around is halfway back upstairs. Planning and practice here!
I fly around, take pictures of things, and put them on my website. There is NO rule I know of saying I can't fly over your house and take photos of it and keep them forever.

IIRC, Dodge has a system like that for their V-8 station wagon. Cadillac did it in the 70s as well with *cough* limited success if memory serves.

I don't need to know everything to make sure my kid is doing his work and understanding the material. I am smart enough at least to detect bullshit.

I was about to write the same thing - unless it starts coming out in crayon done by 2nd graders, how could it be worse????

I didn't say anything about prohibition. IMHO pot takes longer than most other substances to cause problems.

Gas weighs 6 pounds per gallon ;)
AFAIK you don't have *states* at all! (provinces maybe)

You might look into WW I and WW II for what happened to communications back then. This is NOT a NEW idea.
A flatbed pwns ANY car.

All time and money saving ideas are punished.
I guess being the "least bad guys" is sort of like being the good guys or close enough :)
I think you may have missed the part where the ENTIRE company is two people. They are just custodians of some old code at this point.
