Since May 1, 2018, all new cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans under 10,000 pounds GVWR in the United States must include a rear visibility system (backup camera) as required under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 111.

That's what the law requires, though auto manufacturers started putting backup cameras in some vehicles much earlier, in the 1990s. This was a self-created safety improvement after several children tragically were hit by their parents backing out of the driveway.

Does your vehicle have a backup camera? If so, do you use it?

Average new car costs $50,000 . American cars are crap with Buick rated the best of the American cars at #8 . Toyota is ranked #1 with the 4 runner.

Could the car market start another 2008 crisis?

Do you buy new or used? People are upside down in value with their cars. Purchase cost is higher , insurance is higher , mechanics to fix car is higher.

What American need is a car without the extras. Just FM radio, AC/Heat , roll up and roll down windows. Price would be affordable. Cars are like houses today , buyers have to buy what is out here. Repos are at all time highs , so don't listen to Trumpsters saying economy is booming. If so , Repos would be at all time lows.

Meh-ven aka The Medium Place is a realm in afterlife designed for people who haven't been especially good or bad persons.

So instead of joining God or Satan for eternity, these average persons are just afterliving in a neither blissful nor painful place, a place of "eternal mediocrity". In this place, there's your favorite beer, but it is always warm, you can listen to every song ever but only performed by the Eagles, live. There is spoken word poetry but by William Shatner. And pretzels, but unsalted.

It just stares intensely at you almost studying you in an admirable manner…

what do you do?

Just hours. be as honest as you can.

My state of Tennessee is one of only few that does not have felony charges for assaults against firefighters and EMTs. Both a house and senate bill was introduced to fill those voids, making assaults against all first responders a felony.

This firefighter/EMT presented to the senate judiciary committee hoping that the bill would pass. She was assaulted on the job while caring for a patient.

While the bill did pass through the committee successfully, the only two democrat members seated on the committee voted no.

Here is the wall of shame:

In other words, there is no point in having a girlfriend who is unattractive. Just like there is no point in drinking vinegar instead of quality wine.

"After Epstein introduced them, Trump subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out. (date range 1983-1985, [redacted] would have been 13-15).”
