Yeah, I think a Hummer would do that. I've seen a giant pickup shutdown a car wash

Yep, now even more thanks to EVs compared to their ICE counterparts. Be prepared to pay more for roads.

My Ody already gets its sideviews hit when going through a tunnel car wash. I can't imagine how that Hummer fits through there.

Xioami SU7 Ultra now officially the fastest sedan around the
Nurburg ring. China would completely dominate the world in automotive if it wasn't for the restrictions. Crazy to think 15 years ago Chinese automobiles were cheap, crappy copycats of western vehicles. How quickly they have progressed is impressive.

South Carolina actually has a law that bans the use of cameras to issue tickets. Privacy and abuse for revenue purposes were the main reasons for the statewide ban. Still have a lot of small towns that are speed traps, but an officer has to witness it to issue a ticket.
