I don't think that's true. Since I built my Baja bug, I've gotten to know a lot of knowledgeable guys at the custom shop and I've never heard them mention a one-per-customer rule.
In fact, there is a guy on the next street over that has a dune buggy and a giant trike and they both have license plates and he built them both.
Bzzt. Go ahead, don't put headlights, brake lights, a windshield, or bumpers on your car. Sure you MIGHT NOT get a ticket - but it's illegal.
Yes, you stupid sonofabitch, but not because of federal law or regulation. All of those things are required by state law. "DOT" doesn't have any goddamn thing to do with it.
Federal law (or regulation) doesn't say anything at all about a home-built car. Nothing. No federal law or regulation applies. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH? The federal laws regarding cars don't kick in until you build cars for sale, and even then, only when you build and sell more than 325 cars.
Yeah, I'm way too fussy about the food I eat to let some minimum-wage worker choose it for me. Since I eat almost entirely fresh food, I want to look at the produce, fish, meat myself. I like to talk to the grocer and the butcher and the hot girl with tattoos at the checkout counter.
I will occasionally order spices and coffee and things like that online. But avocados? Swiss chard? Fresh fish? No.
I enjoy talking to Uber drivers and have liked quite a few of them (compared to liking about 0.0001% of taxi drivers I have ever met).
Maybe it depends on where you live. In Chicago, cab drivers are much more interesting and engaging than Uber drivers. Much more fun to talk to and more likely to have interesting personal stories. In Houston, Uber drivers were better company, but cab drivers would offer to hook you up with a weed connection or prostitutes, so that's a wash. In California, the cab drivers and Uber drivers are exactly the same, except the cab drivers won't expect you to listen to bad music they recorded in their home studio or tell you about the script they're writing.
You're an idiot. ALL vehicles on the road must conform to all FMVSS regulations
No, dumbshit. As long as you're not making them to sell, you do not need to conform to all FMVSS regulations to get a car licensed and use it on the roads, and you don't need to conform to NHTSA regulations either (in case that was going to be your next bogus claim).
Here in California, where dune buggies and crazy home-brew cars rule, the process is easy and does not require anything from the federal government. Yes, you have to have brakes. Yes, you have to have a horn. Yes, you have to have lights. All of the regs are local. None have anything to do with the federal government.
Now will you please just take the "L" on this and move on? Try to hang on to some shred of dignity, man.
The DOT doesn't regulate home built cars if you never take them on to public roads, but take it on to public roads, and you have to register it.
You don't register your vehicle with the Department of Transportation. You register it with the state you live in. It's not a federal issue.
Maybe your confusion comes from the fact that states have their own little departments of transportation, but that's not what we're talking about here.
Why does the FCC regulate micropower AM/FM stations? Why does the DOT regulate home-built cars?
First of all, the DOT does not regulate home-built cars. I'm not sure where you got this bad information, but I'm not surprised, considering the quality of most of your assertions.
Second, "regulate" is not the same as "treat as equals". But thanks for setting up those two dopey strawmen for me to set afire.
I'm not going to read all that. Who's even the head of the FAA these days, anyway? I remember when Trump wanted to appoint the pilot of his private jet, but I don't remember if he actually did after everyone stopped laughing.
Did the "adults" ever step in? And if they did, why did they do something as stupid as treating drones and planes equally?
Maybe the laws of skulduggery have changed since I was a young whippersnapper, but isn't one of the most important aspects of a secret weapon for it to be secret?
No. What good is a secret weapon if your enemy doesn't suspect you have it? I mean, come on. This is elementary.
Tesla's official announcements come from tweets, so unlike other social media they are actually very relevant, hence why the fucktard is in trouble over his tweets
So? Tesla's "official announcements" are just press releases, meant to boost their stock price. Why are they being reported on Slashdot.
And it's not his "tweets" that have gotten Elon Musk's dick caught in a wringer, but the fact that he tried to game his stock value by claiming the company was going private. It's not the tweet that was illegal, it was the behavior - the thing he did. Twitter got nothin' to do with it.
Now we gotta have news stories on the front page about ANOTHER jackoff's tweets? You know, for a group of nerds who are supposedly above the plebian social media, we sure do hear a lot about tweets around here.
I thought this was a tech site and not just another outlet for billionaires' bullshit.

Especially since Trump gave Putin and Netanyahu all the passwords.

Home-built cars are not subject to FMVSS regulations.
Are you just going to keep throwing bullshit up against the wall hoping nobody will notice?
But that's not what we're talking about here, is it? LynwoodRooster referenced a series of things: FAA, FCC, DOT. All of which are federal.
States can do what they want. when it comes to regulating home-built cars, whereas federal regulations govern aviation and communications.
You don't register your vehicle with the Department of Transportation. You register it with the state you live in. It's not a federal issue.
Maybe your confusion comes from the fact that states have their own little departments of transportation, but that's not what we're talking about here.
The California inspection requirements are far less of a hassle (and less expensive) than the Texas ones.
It's a local issue. Not Department of Transportation.

Since all cops are at very least, "bad cop adjacent", this should make for some very interesting Twitch streaming.

That's just what he wants you to believe. He's lying in the tall grass, waiting to strike, and cashing them casino checks.
That's racist. You're telling us you wouldn't take a call from Sitting Bull?
It's OK, brother. We make allowances for the older Slashdotters, because they tend to bring greater wisdom.
Correct. We were talking about Hamms.
I don't know why I'm seeing this story, since I have Ad-Block turned on.
