But maybe anti-theft measures already used on cats can help? A little microchip that someone can scan, a collar with a little bell on it so someone knows if your cat is somewhere it should be.

You’d have to pay me more than a couple of grand to take the last little EcoSport doorstop off the lot.

It makes me wonder what I’m doing with my life when I see all these successful pro drivers my age like Palou, Herta and Norris. Then I realize they all have loaded parents who made them race go-karts when they were 4. Good for him though, Awesome to see a newcomer win!

...the locomotive first served on the Reading Railroad out of Pennsylvania before getting shipped off to Arizona.

Oh yes, because socialist countries have made such EXCELLENT RVs, caravans and motorhomes?? A single example please!

You’d think that manufacturers selling a product that costs as much as some houses would be a little more focused on quality,

If you’re old enough/judged responsible enough to drive a vehicle on public roads, you’re old enough/responsible enough to face adult charges for vehicular crimes.

Agreed about the Mustang.

That was my first thought. The Musty II to the Fox was an order of magnitude improvement in quality and performance.

Vents in general? I think all cars have them, they are just hidden today.

Back then most cars came with just a driver’s side mirror. Passenger side was optional.

I don’t get the contemporary hate for the SC. Sure, it was terrible value new, but now, they’re a cheap, V8, RWD convertible Toyota. That sounds better than a Solara to me.

The F-150 Raptor uses a 3.5, not a 3.0. In the words of my mgr, “plz fix, thx”

I’m sure its been worked on for months (years) and started long before launch issues and chip shortage. They can’t just halt their schedules.

Likely the same reason towing capacity is magically higher in Europe for the same vehicle.  Regulations.  I think towing in Europe is a more regulated affair (imagine that), with slower speeds.  In the US, if it is rated to tow, you need to be able to go fast. The (safe) towing capacity decreases with speed. 

how do you Americans build trucks this big with such small payloads... behemoths like the F150 are rated to carry less! WHY????

Those are some nice facts. But I’m worried they’ll get in the way of us getting more Tundra articles. We only have 5 today. If we can’t post frivolous comparisons that are incorrect, how will we shit on the Tundra? 

why not have both? Do I really want to carry a generator everytime I go camping or to the jobsite?

That is a genuinely useful feature for RV owners. Not having to lug a 50-100 lb generator and another 20 lbs of chain to lock it down is a lot of space back. And, those small engines have notable fumes, even the newer EPA and CARB certified ones.

I was thinking more in terms of having that ability for back-up power after a storm. If I buy a generator for that purpose it might get used once or twice a year and you’re rolling the dice on having gas that isn’t bad and occasionally starting it to make sure it runs when you need it. If I can use my truck that I…
