    It’s ok though, in about 30 years after 2 million children are dead, we’ll make a law that limits the height of hoods, effective 5 years from then.

      We’ll also add exclusions for cars above a certain wheel well distance, which will only further incentivize carmakers to make bigger cars.

      /s but not really, because this is literally how emissions regulations work. Emissions regulations are less strict as wheel well distance increases, so larger cars can be less efficient. Which is why car makers have heavily pushed for larger cars via marketing, astroturfing, etc, because it means regulatory compliance is easier.

      yeah. you really can’t, the cab over semi isn’t coming back. They were cold in winter, too hot in summer, uncomfortable and killed the drivers in a moose hit. Sure anything you hit with a semi dies anyways, but doesn’t so often take the driver too with a conventional.
