-------
As has become a tradition with me, this is the 3rd of 3 recordings done at a church parking lot in Riverbank, CA; each year on February 8th (2021, 2022, and now 2023). Will there be a 2024? Well... that depends on whether...
a. There's been much of a change between this year and next year; and
b. Whether it rains on February 8th in 2024 or not. If it rains, I can't take the car out. But we shall see.

Beautiful American Luxury! 👍🏼 I wish Cadillac and Lincoln would still make Beautiful masterpieces like this

ECCC, Yes so do I. I'm sure I don't need to tell you about the history behind why it would be impossible to accomplish this. [EMISSIONS -- FUEL ECONOMY -- SAFETY]. That "3-legged stool" doled out to us by the Fed Government, along with the simple astronomical costs that manufacturers would have to bare, in order to make cars out of real rugged materials again is sadly prohibitive.

The seat belt extenders probably do make it much easier to wear the lap belts. However with the way the shoulder belts latch into the lap belts, the shoulder belt probably now starts somewhere near the middle of your waist instead beside your hip. This new configuration may not offer the optimum protection in a crash. Your upper body may lunge around and out of the shoulder belt. You might want to look into that. Better safe than sorry.

You’re right Brad. I need to cinch those up.
