Those lenses are glass buddy.

Is anyone making more than minimum wage? $15, $20?

All the hippies I know vote and vote often. In my experience they’re closer together than they both realize.

Politics is a circle, the far right and far left are actually very similar.

FCA has a bunch of near silent day cabs running on NG that haul trailers from plant to plant in Detroit. The Tesla option could fill the same role.

They’ve not ordered tooling for any of this, there is no way it’ll be in production in 9 months.

Insurance costs are too high. It’s hard to get away with it even in Detroit now that it’s getting fancy.

You are correct, I got them switched around.

Well Dearborn Heights is getting fancy, it’s spilling over. Birmingham is very protective of their image. They want to be a safe, comfortable place for affluent people. It’s an image city. With the planned Ford campus expansion that area is going to try and become a hot bed for attracting new talent while trying to…

Dearborn is a crazy place. They’re trying to be a bit like Birmingham. It’s almost working.

It’s cheaper to get a tradesman trim truck and throw the guys in a super beater old van/mini van.

Plus then you have your cleanest guy driving the truck, they’ll get pulled over the most. Then your crew is off to the next exist while they wait for the stop to finish.

I’ve done all this before.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

The new F-150 cab is larger than the outgoing Super Duty cab.

That’s why you have two sets and an emergency unopened set in the house.

Do you have a lift? Have you done the job before and/or have the factory manual? Have you worked as a professional mechanic? Do you have all the tools?

If you answer no to any of those you’re not giving the design a fair shake. It was designed to be serviced with all those assets in place. It’s not a Lada designed to…

I just saw those fender stripes on a Cobalt SS in Dearborn last night. I wanted to cry.

Have you owned a G? They’re really not that bad. People are just afraid, they don’t put on their big boy boots and spend the time to understand what’s gone wrong. They throw them at the dealer.

I’m a Mk2-Mk3 VW guy, but I’ve also got a 2005 WRX wagon which is fairly straightforward to wrench on. I’ve got a few BMWs in the mix (now owned by friends).

My toughest project is my ‘76 w115 Mercedes diesel. It’s difficult because it was designed before “Modern car” philosophy. Everything is overly engineered, it…

A clutch is a clutch, it’s the same in this car as any other car. The stock clutches last 100k minimum unless you’re boy racer. Replacing a cat is just like any other cat.

Why do you think these repairs are especially hard on this car?

If you talked about a Vanos rebuild or the subframe cracking issue I’d give you more…

The sweet spot on affordable luxury/performance is the e36 right now. Personally I like the platform better, it’s a bit simpler and parts (for a German sports saloon) are cheap. The problem areas have all be determined and solved by the community. There is literally an answer online for every single issue you could…

Christ, you people have never owned one of these or wrenched on them with any level of skill or confidence.

They’re trope on the internet so you agree.

They’re mechanically very simple, the bits that do break are easy to fix if you have any experience with the platform and/or any sort of professional skill as a…
