What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

and any mileage tax would be on EV's not everyone and would be attached to your annual registration.

Speaking of EVs--NJ just put a surcharge on all EV vehicles.

i don't know about them knowing if you have a cel on or not but that alone is not a offense, it does prevent you from updating your registration once every 2 years and if you can show you spent at least $500 attempting to repair it then you get a 1 time pass. so in theory you could drive around with a cel for 4 years with no recourse
they have setup said sensors in so-cal from what I have read and if you happened to get flagged they would have you get a smog test, but from I have read those so far have only been in a testing phase.
occasionally around here they will setup a mobile roadside test, however it is completely voluntary and they only do it to show statewide compliance
the state is overbudget big time they do not have the resources to put systems like that in place at least not at this time.
If you pass by a cop and your blowing billows of smoke then ya you might get pulled over and made to go get a smog test.

For all vehicles, not just EVs.

Wiki says this...

GMT (General Motors Truck) is a nomenclature used by General Motors to designate multiple vehicle platforms. In use since the early 1980s, the GMT nomenclature is used for light trucks, full-size SUVs, and vans, along with several medium-duty trucks.

I can agree with getting a fixit ticket for a badly smoking car. the rest is all bs.

I remember when I was a kid back in Florida. my mom had a old chevy, but believe it was a 68 and it smoked really bad, used a lot of oil. I was maybe 10, long before I could fix cars. she got a fix it ticket from a cop. I believe it ended up being junked and bought something else. looking back I have seen a few vehicles over the years the cops should have done too.


tx just did the ev charge last year I think it was. flat charge once a year. not based on mileage driven.

someone did the math and of course it's way more than what the average person pays in fuel tax. so it's more of an electric car penalty than anything legitimate.

i doubt it would be implemented until they do a national road tax because a shit ton of semi trucks and cars pass thru this state and would pay nothing

Calif has been known to do some pretty stupid stuff, they'd probably just charge out of state people even more gas tax at the pump.

Last night, but I replaced the ebay seat foam with a DuraFoam cushion. I thought about reusing the OEM seat cover, but it was too cracked.

The ebay kit had crappy foam, but the cover is sufficient. Hopefully the foam settles in a bit, as it makes me like 2" taller in the seat.

Wow. Making formula for just a single one month old baby?!?!

Did you really just buy 60 gallons just to make formula for one baby? Surely you’re going to use that for something else? That’s a bit much. I hope no one else in your area needed any.

You have to know that amount is a bit extreme; By extreme I mean that amount puts you in the apocalypse prep category.

First new born a month ago; So you’re still making just 2-4 oz bottles at a time. And thought you needed to buy 6-8 months worth of distilled water all at once?

This brings up some valid questions…

How many trips did it take you to get all those gallons from the store to your vehicle?
Using standard grocery carts or what?
Did you build a designated shelving unit just for the distilled water?
Does it have a label on it that says “Distilled water for formula use only”?
Do you have to drive over an hour away from your home to get to the nearest store that offers 1 gallon containers of distilled water?
Is there a shortage of distilled water in your area?
Did you know there is such a thing called “Nursey Water” available with or without fluoride specifically for making formula?

Congrats on your first newborn!

We're exclusively formula feeding and using the water for formula and for the mini dishwasher that's used to clean/sanitize. We've got the Baby Brezza which is essentially a Keurig for formula.

I tend to like to make 1 trip instead of two or three or four, for an item I know I'm going to need and Walmart qualifies for 5% off right now with the CC; two standard Walmart carts will do the trick, 15 on top of 15 x2 and just 1 trip to get it into the car and 10 trips to take it upstairs.. We're storing under the crib, stacked which means it's out of sight and out of mind.

The Walmart close by stocks these in an endcap that contains at least 120 gallons, no shortage that I can see.

I can only speak for myself but I buy food/groceries/consumable goods when it is on sale, as much as I can reasonably use before it expires
I save hundreds of dollars doing this consistently. the only thing I am unable to buy in bulk when on sale is like milk or fresh vegetables because they go bad quickly.
bread can be frozen with no ill effects, some vegetables & milk maybe but i prefer not too
the more you can buy in bulk the more you can save IF you buy at the right price

Bread is a big saver, although there's a bakery in Northern WI I stop at that I grab 10-20 loafs and freeze for sandwiches.

It's a big money saver for anything that won't expire within a few months which in turn means more money for the 2500 and the cycle repeats.
