*effects, not affects. 

This is an incredibly salty take and in very poor taste considering the Glick has been a friend to Jalopnik for years.

The STX grill is by far my favourite of the bunch. If I get an F150, whatever trim it is, I’ll put this grill on it. Unfortunately, I don’t think the STX package is available on the single cab. 

Priorities. The Fords definitely favour payloads and rowing capacities while the Ram skews towards the comfort end of the spectrum.

It does look like the same cab with a complete interior refresh and more substantial re-style than the 2018 facelift.

I usually go for base models, or close to it, so yeah, an XLT is all good by me and as you suggest many of the new goodies likely wouldn’t apply for the trims that interest me.

As I haven’t seen anything to the contrary, I’m going to assume they’ve stuck with the leaf sprung rear axle. I was hoping they follow Ram and go with a 4 link/coil springs.

Isn’t the requirement to make 2 runs in opposing directions intended to eliminate wind as a factor? I think they’re supposed to make them within a short(ish) timeframe with the goal of having the same conditions.

That sounds like it wouldn’t be objectionable to me. I’ve only been in a few cars with auto start/stop but none with 3 pedals. Neither of the 2 I’ve bought new have had it so I’m open to try it for myself one day.

I would assume there are some cars out there with auto start/stop on a manual already, likely in Europe, so I’m curious how it’s meant to work. Would it only activate if you’re sitting at a light for a few seconds with the car in neutral and the clutch not pressed, or would they be so aggressive to have it acitivate…

Last year I found a mouse nest made out of the owner’s manual in the glovebox of my 128i after I pulled it out of winter storage. This time around, on the advice of a friend, I stuffed dryer sheets into the door seals, wheel wells, grills and under the hood. All were removed prior to the first start this year and I…

The closest modern equivalent to the e30 325is is the 128i. Naturally aspirated straight six, 6 speed, rear wheel drive, as it should be. Here’s mine:

It hadn’t until now. I’m going to try to erase that from my memory so it doesn’t come to bother me. 

Yep, I’ve generally found the base seats to hard, flat and unsupportive. I had an X1 loaner when my 1er was in for the airbag recall last fall and while all the newfangled tech was nice I couldn’t get out of those seats fast enough.

Haha, it’s only there because I gave my old TV to someone else. The plan is to pick up a new one and put it, the PS4 and sim setup in the office.

Does the F22 not have adjustable bolsters on the sports seats? I thought they did. My 128i seats have all manual adjustments except for the bolster width being adjusted with a rocker switch near the front of the seat.

I’m fond of BMW’s sport seats. I’ve tried them in various 1, 2 and 3 series and always liked them. They’re one of the few seats with sufficient adjustment range to give my long ass legs proper thigh support. Owning my 128i has highlighted just how important good seats are for me ergonomically, especially when compared…

They filled 65 slots out of 95 last week so I’ll send out an email to get myself signed up again. I might put an addendum in there that if all the spots are all filled I’ll defer to someone who didn’t play last time.

Some dingus got caught doing 205km/h (125+mph) in a 40 (25) near me:

April Fools! They got us good and will instead continue to make overpriced, outdated crap, then go bankrupt.
