Not actually likely to be a breathalyzer. They still need to decide on a technology, but my guess is this is going to go the same way as an ICE ban. As in not going to happen.

Decent article on the matter I think.

Yea, seems more likely an extension of the driver monitoring used for things like SuperCruise.

TIL that I fucked up by bringing the quickjack to the basement when I first got it. Should’ve left it outside, in my toolshed, but can’t, because the doors are messed up and can’t lock it. Looks like Im building some doors this weekend.

TIL if I autocross the Lotus with the Snake River Region of the SCCA (races at the Boise fairgrounds), I would be A street class. Looking at past results, looks like there is a Ford Mustang GT and a couple corvettes running AS. Tempted to go to the next event. I would have to buy a helmet.
