I don’t have much faith in the TSA’s “Loaded” numbers, per their definition:

There really are more “idiots” roaming around us than we’d care to admit... and while I don’t think there’s any excuse for bringing any firearm through screening (whether on your person or in your carry-on), we should also put more scrutiny into TSA’s definition of what “Loaded” means - because per the website linked…

Good, the current Dealer-required experience is awful. Hopefully this will be far better implemented with transparent pricing that his honored at the time of the online order. The existing online order reservation system, which I used for a Mach-E GT, was not honored - my vehicle was delayed due to the chip shortage,…

There is a Billie Eilish song - When The Party’s Over - that consistently triggers my Google assistant when it is playing in my car over bluetooth when connected to my Ford Sync... I don’t have Android Auto, so not sure if it would do it there, but at a particular point it will pause and launch the Google assistant to…

Even with the size being slightly narrower than 7 feet (I believe I saw it measured at about 6.5) - Which should definitely warrant it being removed and/or support damage payments from vehicles that fall within the posted signage and still hit it... I think the majority of the witnessed crashes show people hitting it…

This bridge can’t easily be raised, however they could install chains that hang down from a pole significantly enough ahead of the bridge so that the chains hit/drag on the object rather than the bridge. Damage would be minimal, and the truck could stop in time to turn around or at least stop and back up.

Yes, but this law expanded it to the point of it allowing what happened specifically in this case, to expand beyond just the Federal Govt to State / Local Law Enforcement, and thus an increase in abuse.

You had me at veins.

I agree, not to mention insurance for one of these Hellcats/ Demons for someone under the age of 25 will likely be astronomical and probably almost as much as the car payment at that point.

Even if the body cam on the officer wasn’t activated, the police vehicle Dashcam should have captured the event if the vehicle was positioned behind the encounter - so attempts to bury bodycam footage shouldn’t mean that there’s no video of the incident. I hope the officer is charged, and agree that there couldn’t…

Technically it was the media-induced mass hysteria / hoarding of gas that caused the run on gas / gas shortages. If people would’ve kept their usual routine and not made a rush on gas all at once, this likely wouldn’t have resulted in much impact at all to supply due to the short duration the pipeline was shut down.…

Now I’m feelin’ so fly like a fried in my G 6

It’s not slave labor when considering it’s the equivalent of working for their food/housing/medical care - which they aren’t paying a dime for - we taxpayers are. Reimbursement for their costs to society isn’t slave labor.

The problem is that no matter how the decision is made to collect the taxes, the fund needs to quit getting raided for other things (as it has for the last umpteenth years) and actually used for road improvements it has been allocated for. Time after time there have been state implemented / federally implemented gas…

I agree with the C-pillar comment, however I do like the headlight and taillight treatments on the 2021, it looks more upscale to me.

I feel like Torch would have something to say, considering his turn signal fascination.

Can someone please get me out of the greys??

My first car - a 1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe, I bought off a lady who was moving for $900 in 2006 with only 60K miles... it got me through college and many interstate roadtrips with minimal maintenance (timing belt and water pump and ignition tuneup as scheduled, clutch, struts, oil changes and tires). I sold it in 2015…

I think the redesign of the Sixth Gen (2020) Ford Explorer, especially the rear end, is fuglier than the Fifth Gen (2016 - 2019) facelifts. I understand that the architecture has changed from a FWD-based platform to a RWD-based platform, for the better, but the looks IMHO have gone backwards, not forwards.

You win the internets. This is the only appropriate fix!
