Unfortunately, in California, cars’ tires cannot extend past the fenders.
MB: “But those aren’t tires. They’re inflated ballutes!”
They are turn signals!
It’s just crazy! It’s wild! Like in the mmooooovvviee!
Frankly, a 9-year-old could have handled that presentation and said the same stuff that guy came up with.
That law is common in most states - and equally unenforced. I’ve seen plenty of trucks with tires extending way past the wheel wells. Some are driven by LEOs.
As far as wanting to get rid of a bit of evidence, that’s a rather draconian solution.
Let the games begin!
Variable-gauge axles are not new.
It can carry some potato chips for 684 Kilometers.
So a fighter jet with the reliability of a Jaguar crossed with a Fiat?
I saw the worst ever implementation of a “rolling coal” diesel pickup truck the other day. The unfiltered, unmuffled exhaust went straight out of the hood directly in front of the passenger. So, yes, the exhaust blows directly onto the windshield, up over the cab, then down into the eddy currents of the pickup bed.

As newspaper AD noted, operating an electric car was extremely cheap last year, but is now often more expensive to run than vehicles consuming petrol or diesel. The newspaper detailed that an electric car which uses 15 kWh of electricity per 100 kilometers costs 12.60 euros to cover that distance.
By comparison, the BMW 530i uses 5.5 liters of petrol for the same range, according to a press release from the manufacturer. Petrol and diesel currently sells for 1.88 at Dutch highway filling stations, according to United Consumers, putting the BMW’s cost per 100 kilometers at 10.34 euros.“
Let’s hope that price disparity doesn’t continue.
