Anyhoo, carry on.

I believe that Hank was making a joke about the anti-immigration rhetoric from Mr. Trump and others running for the GOP nomination (which now apparently includes calls for building a wall on the US/Canadian border, so many be it wasn't a joke).

Re: No Faith in the Moral Standards of the Players as a Group

So my car is getting old, and my commute has changed such that a HOV sticker would be a great thing, and I'm looking at getting an electric car or a hybrid (but only if I can get an HOV sticker, so no Prius). Right now the top two contenders are the BMW i3 and the VW eGolf. Does anyone have any experience with either of these? Any suggestions, etc.?

Move somewhere where you don't have to drive to work.

For years my commute was so short that if I biked instead, it took two more minutes. No longer.

You know there are some American cars eligible for the sticker.

My sister is on her second Leaf and loves it.

The BMW is ugly.

All I got.

That Canadian wall, will it stop the car imports? Or are we just trying to keep Justin Bieber out?

Which? I thought the US hybrids (Volt, Ford) had sold so many that I couldn't get a green sticker anymore.
