I didn’t know “swatting” was a thing. That said, we got swatted a couple years ago at work. We “swatted” ourselves. We have a big red button on the wall in our main file room (“we” are a minor govt agency). For some reason, one of our new hires thought it would be a good idea to push the big red button to see what it…

Thankfully you can LS swap one.

Can’t tell if you are serious.

Interestingly, while Audi goes away from the longitudinal AWD, rumors are swirling that Ford is developing a new platform that utilizes a longitudinal AWD setup for future Explorer and Lincoln products.

We need video of the Norwegians in action. Can you Scandinavian flick a tank?

Flat tappet cam ? Old school lo-po lifters

I enjoy that I can do 85-90 on the tollway and still get passed by a half dozen cars every 5 minutes.

I find the driving in Chicago to be the best part of going there. Everyone drives like me so I fit in.

When I was in college me and my buddies relied on a Honda Spree for transportation. By transportation I mean liquor store runs. It sucked in the Wisconsin winters, but it a couple of cases of beer could be bungied to the rack on the back.

Step 7: Go to Sears/other big box store with lifetime tool warranty say, “my socket is busted, can I get a replacement?”

My guess is that Apple a bunch of engineers working there. What do automotive engineers do on their breaks and at quiting time? Hoon. The motor noise is the engineers in their personal vehicles doing burnouts and donuts in the company parking lot.

Yep, we’ve established that. I’m arguing zero name recognition is better than “Armada” name recognition.

The problem is people recognize it as a car someone bought because they have bad credit and couldn’t get the Denali they really wanted. Pinto and Cavalier have great name recognition as well.

I was thinking the same thing. The Armada may be an established name in the US, but I think it generally has a poor reputation. Kind of the Chrysler Sebring of large SUVs. The Patrol has so much heritage around the world, the advertising practically writes itself.

I don’t really know all the details of FCA vs. DCX, but I believe with DCX there was still a portion of Chrysler that was not owned in partnership with Diamler. With FCA, it is wholly owned by FCA.

Do they will fly these aircraft to this deployment? What are the kogistics if this? I assume lots of aerial refueling. Do they land for fuel as well? I would assume ground refueling would be a safer option if they have the choice.

And I will add that these people likely blame professors and Obama for high tuition costs. Reality is that costs per student has risen roughly with the rate of inflation. However, at least in my state, 30 years ago the state paid 80-90% of the overall costs at state schools. Now that has dropped to about 10%. These…

There is a kid at my son’s high school that drives one of these. The primered body on this one looks in better shape than the one from the school. It sounds like shit too.

I found the oil filters. :)

You should specify the format you wish to load them. If you use a snowblower you can get a lot more in than stacking them in their typical state.
