It seemed every time we drove 100km, the yanks had a different name for cider (the alcoholic fermented drink, not fruit juice, although probably that too, seeing as "cider" sometimes meant nonfermented fresh fruit juice), a different name for fizzy drink and a different name for sausage...... and so on. The boundaries were definitely not along state borders. Etymology maps of the US must look peculiar.
A few Prime Ministers have been peculiar plotholes. Harold Holt just disappeared. Whitlam got taken out by a madman influenced by the yanks and nominally working for the Queen. Sometimes it seems the writers just get bored of the storyline and drop stuff.
An American comedian, following a long set here in Australia, told the audience to stand up and stretch. He then tried to direct us to "bend over and pat your neighbour on the fanny". Stone cold silence did not indicate to him his mistake, and he tried several times before eventually realising he had lost his audience goodwill entirely with this starting skit.
Turned out later that he had no clue what "fanny" means here, and had to have it explained to him.
I don't. Plenty of times said "what are you guys doing?" to a group of people which did not include men. I have been addressed the same way plenty, despite being cis female. Possibly it's different in other countries, but on the east coast of nsw "guys" is gender neutral.
I've driven a car through and within about half of the mainland states so far, the number of cars I saw that had flashing tail lights instead of any indicators (we call them blinkers, the orange lights on the corners of cars) was surprising. All of them weren't registered and were illegally on the road? Seems unlikely. Yet you say they were illegal? Fascinating. It didn't look that way at all.
And yeah, plates were indeed only on the back, but that is a different weirdness, especially that they had other things on the front. Odd "vanity" plates on the front which did not match their back plates; Some humorous, others more along the lines of scatalogical. Seemed a good way to make sure people wouldn't know who committed a crime if they only got a shot of the front of the car. (And don't get me started on lack of speed regulation in the US....)
I was going to say the nrma would likely tell you to contact the RTA equivalent and the police, then I saw "50 states"...... You yanks tend to have a lot less regulation than us, whether it is lack of necessary indicators or lack of a need to put number plates at each end of your car.
However, if it isn't the state you are in (easily checked), won't that make it a criminal travelling interstate to commit a crime, and that be a federal matter? Perhaps check with your own state regulator, then go federal?
Yep, I have instruments they can fit, they confirm they can fit, then nick them from me and insist on checking them anyway after I organised to carry on.
If they did then they wouldn't keep buying cars. Make it disposable on purpose = Chrysler
