Jason, driving a classic truck in Minnesota winters is a recipe for heartbreak,  we are so irresponsibly profligate with road salt that you will need to do body work on a semi-annual basis to keep it presentable.

I hate to “Well Acktually” folks, but at the ranges in the movie a 76mm armed Sherman would have been able to frontally penetrate a Tiger, they didn’t actually need to shoot it point blank in the rear.

Low key why IDGAF about tarrifs. Yes, it will lead to reduced quality of living/buying power, but forcing the developing world to clean up their act was going today that anyways. Now if only Congress would hold the line on our own environmental regulations, we'd be golden.

We are miscommunicating. I thought this was a slate of candidates for the board, and  was advising you to seek a seat on the board. My advice still stands, however. Get elected to the board and fuck their shit up.  

Quorums are always assumed unless someone makes a quorum call.  A quorum call is an explicitly obstructionist tactic, so you need to make sure you’re at every meeting to make a quorum call.

Learn Roberts Rules, and stuff an additional nomination (yourself) down their throats before they can try and get their slate approved. They are playing fast and loose with parliamentary procedures if that’s actually how it goes down.  Odds are you’ll get elected out of sheer novelty, and then you can be an…

His insurance company will sue to recover what they spend fixing his truck 100%.

There was a manufacturing defect in ~5% of the first 2 1/2 years of 5 cyl Atlas engine production (so it had been solved 3 years by the time these were sold) relating to the valve guides, and that poisoned the motor’s reputation, but they are more reliable than most competing trucks if you have a 2006.5 or later. I…

It has the DSSV shocks, it has more power, it has a shorter wheelbase, a shorter overall length, and can be had with a 6 foot bed and extended cab instead of a crew cab 5 foot bed.

That’s why my pick for  "Only one fast food joint" is Hardee's.

on a modern 20 lb cylinder, they shouldn’t be using the relief valve to tell how full it is, they should be filling it while it’s on a scale.

Hopefully they’ll put the 3.0 i6 Duramax in the next gen Tahoe and Burb.

The Camaro SS 1LE is several thousand dollars more expensive than a Mustang GT Performance pack, but to be frank, the vanilla Camaro SS is faster than the Mustang GT Performance pack.

I’m not sure what respectable means to you, but the Yukon XL Denali (which looks like it might be the only Suburban expy apart from the Escalade to get the bigger V8) will do 0-60 faster than a BRZ, and even the smaller motor Suburban will get around the MT figure 8 in 28.4 seconds at .64 average Gs, which beats a MB…

Right now heavy duty trucks all have more power and torque than many semi tractors had in the 70s and 80s. The biggest limiting factor for increasing their towing and hauling specs relative to the competition is thermal management.

Maybe 1.2% of all cars on the road have reached 200,000 miles, but over half the cars I’ve owned have had more that 250,000 miles on them when I’ve sold them.

You can’t blame the lack of cougars and wolves. Land use changes, natural trophic progression that is continuing from the end of the last ice age and from the beginning of the epidemic epoch of first nations peoples, all play a role. Wolves won’t tolerate close proximity to human settlement even if people would…

Plus stars much older than our own probably don’t have enough metalicity to support technological civilization on the same model as our own.

They do wild things with independent suspension these days.

Independent suspension is making strong inroads at KOH, actually.
