I drive a nc mx5, another issue is that their headlights (which are always bright white and far too bright even on low beams) shine directly into my side mirrors (and often the rear view as well) due to the height at which they are placed. Also, they are often are too close when high beams turn on automatically, which presents further problems for road awareness.

Wasn't the use of bunker fuel being constrained essentially everywhere? I remember it being talked about a couple of years ago as an issue for diesel supplies as that was what they were switching to.

It will be interesting to see what happens to Australia, as it seems likely the weather will get even hotter/more chaotic. That said, if sea levels rise enough we might get the inside of the country flooded which would drastically change the climate.

I've waiting on the framework 16 to come out (and be reviewed), as it fits what I want perfectly. Repairability, functionality, etc. all sounds really good.

It'll be interesting to see if they face issues with governmental contracts in the long term, but I won't be holding my breath on that one.

Interesting, I though those groups tended to prefer the eureka stockade flag. Has it shifted more to the Australian flag now?
