Only if the passenger compartment is in the front with a giant wheel in the back that tilts when it turns like the vacuum

Repairs would be comparatively cheap. You don’t need a paint room, have to spend hundreds on individual plastic fasteners and the office works have an easier time tracking down parts. Snapping together bricks is cheaper and less labor intensive than being a body panel ready for paint. Take away that and lots of…

I would say a Ford F250-350 dually with a long box crew cab.  Compared to gm and dodge pickups they seem to have a worse turning circle.  Add diesel just so they you lose responsiveness, add weight which makes stopping harder and may make finding fuel a little harder.

It’s probably not the worst, but putting your car in neutral or depressing the clutch to coast down hills. From a safety standpoint it’s not great because your can’t use the throttle to transfer weight in an emergency maneuver and a mistake going into the wrong gear can be dangerous or destructive but also many cars…

If I could have gotten a Fit with the turbo 1.5 and 6 speed that are in my Civic sport I would have gotten it instead.  

I agree, make it limited edition and speculators will buy them.  Just make it a manual and a few people will buy them but the majority of the vocal manual enthusiasts will disappear because of some arbitrary reason.

It’s the diesel powering a generator or the wheels.  You could isolate the engine from the chassis and probably make it fairly quiet with little vibration that the driver or passengers would feel. In the case of the rotary in this application it feels like something that has the worst option because you never…

Not enough stars on this one.  And rheostats to control the fans.   

I think another component was it was cheaper not to design and build that gear with synchros. A lot of designs first gear and reverse weren’t constant mesh and slid forward and backwards to engage and disengage. If you look at it from they perspective I don’t think they saw it as a slight because your couldn’t shift…

I can confirm that at least until 06-07 they still had some manuals.  We did equipment moves for a local symphony.  It was probably the best thing for thier insurance because of the truck was a manual a lot of the worse drivers had to ride because they couldn't drive it.

I wonder if a lot of the people are just driving a worn out vehicle rather rather than a truly bad manual transmission. A lot of cable operated shifters have have rubber bushings that pound out and make for a sloppy shift but in less than an hour you can usually replace them. I would nominate Ford full size pickups…

They had rubber bushings that wore out.  If you replaced the bushings they were fairly good, like the neon.  Maybe not amazing, but above average.

Idk, it seems like they are skipping over the bringing in a European car and just making it bigger and squishy without a bigger engine, seeing it flop and then giving up steps.  

Caliber SRT4. People hoped it would be a successor to the Neon SRT 4, but even Chrysler enthusiast sites like allpar couldn't really get too excited about it.

Weight and complexity.  Nothing to the handling although people seem to perceive that it helps

This jerk needs to get out of the way so the truckers can slow down traffic

Do they move quickly, I have never gotten food in under 15 minutes at one.  Multiple tries and I don't do special orders so it should be quick.  They do stuff that makes them look like they are trying to be fast but things seem to be super inside the building

I don’t know if your are replying to the wrong person or wrapped up in all the replies you got but most of what you said is not relevant to my comment. I said that mask mandates in a particular area were not an indicator of safety or spread and that politics and political party affiliation are a significant…

In a world where health officials can the shots and go off data that is true.  I can say in Montana we got not cases in the Delta or omicron waves than the previous waves but had less mandates and kids were in person mask optional during a worse surge. The difference is the state elected a new Jersey transplant for a…

If you are getting 20 across Montana you are probably driving easy down the high line with a 40 mph trail wind.
