Not one photo in the article shows an EDV, just R1S/R1T which don't have a seatbelt problem.

So let's use a photo of one of the cars, instead.

Sorry, no horror stories here.

I've had my R1T for over 3 yrs with only 2 trips to a SC. Replaced a seal that had some leakage on the front passenger side motor (under warranty). Truck was drivable the entire time. Also under warranty had the power tonneau cover upgraded. It never got stuck.

Bust of Abraham Lincoln hanging head in utter shame.

Time for a leadership change.

I'm hoping the fans do the "Wave" using the middle finger.

On the other hand, your 25 year old ICE car has received a total of exactly "zero" updates. Yet, you're still capable of driving it.

Also, you're turning into the garage from an alley. Pulling straight in is not an option.

The minimum width needs to be greater than 8-ft IMHO.

I looked at the Bend building code. Garage door openings are required to be at least 8-ft as a minimum. None of my neighbors can use their garage. Some have been parking out front on the street.

Really, you cannot fit most of today's car in a garage with 8 ft openings. We're talking about a Jeep Wrangler, a Toyota BZ4X, and smaller Audi wagon. Maybe, if you folded the side mirrors in.

I have no objections to ADUs but, man, the city needs to update the building code for garage door openings. I've got a two-unit townhouse plus ADU across the alley with 3-car garage and "no one" can get their car into the garage!

Went out with a tape measure and confirmed within code (8-ft).

Thank you, Senator!

I hope you made it to The Goldenrod Restaurant for saltwater taffy!

So what he's actually saying is "Kneel before Zod!"?

"seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism".

I guess this means there'll be no more demonizing of Democrats being socialists, right?

Don Corleone was soft spoken in a certain way, too.
