Analogous to a firearm, which typically can only be used when you are in fear of your life - if the car is a dangerous weapon, does the presence of protesters in a road pose a threat to your life such that you can run over the threat till it is no longer a threat or you can leave?

If the protesters are wielding objects that could be used as weapons, yes but I think prosecutors - esp in blue states- would argue that the protesters were not an imminent threat to life and limb and therefore you committed a crime by hitting them with a car.

Again - based on what the OP posted.
So how does that apply to when protesters block a road and a driver uses his vehicle to get them to move, to include hitting/moving them?

Some state statutes allow that... which I agree with.

Also, as much as it pains me to admit, when OK outlawed salt water injection their occurrence of earth quakes dropped dramatically. So there's a pretty good case for removing the option all together.


So there is a connect between quakes and injection/fracking?

I see arguments/discussions on this pop up for various locations like PA, NY and the West.

We BnB/VBRO'd in Italy for 2 weeks

Most if not all places had a list of things to do, including sorting garbage and putting in the appropriate receptacle. They often had 4+ categories

That was the most onerous as the directions weren't always clear and sometimes contradictory.

I am surprised some of you even put the garbage in the can outside or dishes in the sink.


Back in the mid/early 90s, I wanted a convertible (I was in my 30s). Started looking at C-3 and C-4 vettes, then decided on an 80 CJ7.

Really enjoyed it. Nothing inside mattered if top down and it rained. Noisy, rough riding, bad mileage (esp after dropping an AMC 360 in it).

Have had a jeep since then (80 CJ7, then 00 TJ, now 2015 JKU - tho i haven't removed the Freedom Top on our JK Unlimited except to replace the gaskets. Afraid of leaks.

The CJ and TJ were fun alternatives for a convertible..

I like most of his policies but I don't think any president has more "own goals" than Trump

Battery replacement is a fun topic. Retail cost for them is around 15k installed. That market is picking up a lot of steam though and over the next 10 years there’s going to be a big shift to independent repowers and refurbs and salvage value markets for the degraded battery packs. Most of the research papers I’ve seen on it think the cost presented in today’s dollars will be about 5k for a full repower.


Do you think this holds true as the EV market slides here in the US? Are sales outside the US sufficient for the market to continue to pick up steam?

Stupid idea but Trump does love his own brand - for better or worse.
