I would argue that licensing in general is way too permissive. The notion that someone with a regular license gets to drive a huge Class A RV, or an F350 with a 5th wheel without any training is frightening. Then again, I grew up and learned to drive (cars, motorcycles, and CDL) in Germany, where anything over 7.5…

New Ford Explorer ST. 400hp isn’t boring. Probably about the same level of luxury as the writers 4 year old MDX which dates back about 8 years in model life at this point. 

HA! That reminds me of the Ford dealership I bought a new car from, and then my brother in-law bought a truck from. Night and day difference in experiences for us both. I never had a problem with the service department, and yet he’d always have issues with delays, and getting treated like dirt. As I told him, next…

I was planning to sell my manual 135i because I have too many cars. Yesterday, I took it out on a spirited drive in the santa cruz mountains - to pick up 50 lbs of tomatoes - with the kids. One of them threw up. But I had a goddamned blast and changed my mind on the sale.

“Landscaper Lives Matter!

I actually know some things about this type of thing.

It is extremely rare that a customer walks in and says “I want a 2021 Tahoe Z71 in white, here is my 1/3 down and my pre-appoval check for the balance. Here is my email with your pricing”

Here’s my preferred set for the clowns who always bitch about using Google links: Demographic Differences in Sentencing report by the United States Sentencing Commission, Racial Disparity in Federal Criminal Sentences report by the U of M Law School, Explaining Discrepancies in Arrest Rates Between Black and White…

Fuck the VAG, indeed.

This makes me wonder what would happen if I drove my old ex-Forest Service truck into a national park... Would everyone suddenly pick up their litter and extinguish their campfires?

It’s like the arguments that go like

But Continental couldn’t explain why it had taken decades to do so.

I know of 6 people who purchased new cars this year. Five were 26-34yrs old and one was 62yrs old.

It’s called Force Majeure. GM isn’t crossing picket lines or laying people off and replacing them with salaried employees. They are keeping the lines running when an outside event, unforeseen at the time the contract was entered, has materially affected the ability of both parties to fulfill the terms of the…

I tried to do the same. I got the dude in Sevendust (but had to look up his name, Lajon Witherspoon), and then I had to cheat and use Ice T because of his work in Body Count.

I bet this idiot thinks that the Nazis were socialists just because the party they eviscerated had “socialism” in the name........

The Dixiecrats flipped parties- led by Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms- and turned the Republican party into what it is today. Why? because they felt the Democratic party was becoming “too liberal” by pushing for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Yup, I've mentioned this before, but buying a mid-sizr is like paying $1.79 for the 20 oz coke at the convenience store when the 2L bottle is on sale for $1.89.  You buy the smaller one because it fits your cupholder and is much more convenient, despite being a poor value compared to the 2L coke.

Think about it. A mid-sized truck costs the mfr almost the same to build as a full-size truck. The bulk of the cost is in labor, research and development, testing and certifications, etc., whereas the mid-size might use slightly less rae materials, which amounts to a miniscule difference in cost.

It’s the same thing with Semis, trucks, sedans, motorcycles, and bicycles, I don’t pay much attention to everyone following the rules but I sure do take notice of the assholes on the road and make sure they have plenty of distance to do their asshole manuevors.
