This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

For Americans the difference is we won't be allowed to.import and register Mexican vehicles, even though many "American" autos are already made in Mexico.

Why do you say that? I'm not familiar with any import restrictions on LSVs from Mexico

If they start making vehicles that are competitive with the US auto industry they'll crack down on them. Especially trucks. The US has fucked with truck imports forever.

Jeff Bezos can suck a dick, but I'd love to be able to get one of these in Canada. Not a chance it would seem, and under the current rules, I won't even be able to import one.
