    All those buildings were built when taxes were high. People are still waiting on that trickle down from several decades of tax cuts.

      That is so good to hear. That's the goal. Big budget shows are afraid to have a point of view. Here we can say whatever we want (within the advertiser safe and child safe rules hahahah)....

    6:25 What car was it that they got pulled over...?? :P
    I do know of a guy in Italy who moved back after many years in the UK after he got divorced with his English wife...
    Anyhow he moved with his ford mondeo wagon from UK and then did register it in Italy and was interesting how he would be topped at random checks by police (Italains Polizia likes do that sometimes), and they woudl be stunned to see no driver and no steering wheel... So it was fascinating by locals even though UK it's not tooo far away by Australian standards lol

      They got to talking about Australia and Australian cars in the USA, that's what the story was about. I can't remember what car it was.

    You’ll av some winging about lack of cars in ya vid. But as ya said Route 66 ain’t about the cars but the journey the people the wonderful places along ya journey. Ya car is merely a tool for your journey. But the better ya tool/car the better ya can enjoy the drive as well

      If manufacturing is important, maybe so. But maybe ideas matter more!
