It's actually easier. You can RIV a new Mexican car just like a US one.

Never mind that they still sell a car called the Dodge Neon...

If we all waited for Jan 1st to make life changes we'd never make any progress.

were it not for jan 1 a lot of people would just keep putting those changes off indefinitely

it's a good catalyst to say ok now is the time to quit smoking or start lifting or eat more rear end or whatever, cause everyone else is

That's too mean.

counterpoint: IANAL but a ticket with the wrong YMM seems like it might be easier to defend against in a courtroom
I'm still pissed cause the ticket that got my Festiva impounded was already paid by the time I realized it said Mazda GLC on it

Isn't "douche" insulting to women, since it's used as a pejorative for dirty vag cleaning instruments, implying that the vagina is a dirty thing?

It doesn't imply the vagina is _inherently_ dirty. If someone cares more about getting laid than hygiene things can get smelly tho and the type of dude who's consistently hooking up with (and obvs also is one of) those types generally also has some undesirable personality traits.

I use a torque wrench for harmonic balancers, carrier bearings, pinion nuts, axle nuts, flywheel bolts, ring gear bolts, head bolts, rod bolts, etc etc etc.

Anything that's holding two stationary parts together and doesn't affect my head gasket, bearing and gear alignment, or keep poo poo from flying off and cutting off my toes? It gets two pulls and a grunt. The two pulls and a grunt are carefully calibrated to the size of the bolt. Never had any issues.

This, but worth mentioning to be aware of the thread pitch, condition and engagement length, general fastener and component condition, wrench length (don't laugh), materials involved at all points etc. cause they'll all affect how much oof you should feed em. Having good judgement wrt those things is worth more than the finest torque wrench on the planet.

because mine's so tiny :(
It's such an obvious thing that you might laugh that I even brought it up, but it's slipped my mind once or twice with foul consequences and I had an apprentice with a habit of almost never considering how big a stick he's beating the bolt with.
