Better. Even though they are both bigger, they are not building every damn GM in one factory. I’d still argue the “cleanliness” though. One pic is not going to be enough. 

Elon’s response to the smart-ass Ford exec?

I will admit, I give credit to Tesla for doing what is surely difficult for a start-up large scale car manufacture. But on the other side, the last Tesla I would want to buy was the one that got them over the target number. I’ve seen that in manufacturing too many times. Push them hard and they will produce but the…

Bad example. How many total cars has McLaren built in its existence?

He doesn’t recommend Jeeps as someone may actually buy one......... And then there will be one less for him to buy.

Are you out of your minds! You didn’t mask any of the license plates!....the horror, the horror....

Oy vey!

But this way I can keep my man card and say I don’t have a loofa!

Silly. Who keeps a toilet brush in the shower?

“Don’t scrub hard or soap it up”

I was thinking “Granny” as in Granny-low since it was where Low normally would be.

“P R N D Gr”?

Imagine if the car started and this was the day he was bringing it into Jiffy-Lube. Now imagine you were the guy in the pit who drains the oil and your buddy just raised the hood scaring this thing downward.....just imagine.

Future Craig’s list ad:

I think he means welding it shut to keep him from opening it, not the snake from getting in!

The only place I would do that is if the sign said “Free Beer” and even that is pushing it.

Oh so true. Many people don’t realize how different military vehicles are now from their civilian counterparts. In the 40s to 60s they were closer together other than paint and creature comforts. The CUCV was the last one like that.

Damn Tom, we are right about the same generation. I entered the Corps in June of ‘85. The MUTT license was first, then the 923/925 5-tons. When the HMMV came out, I was an instructor on those as well. Even did time at the Sill for arty training. But alas, 4 years of arty was enough and on to the air wing.

Yep. The old M151 was Jeep in name and (general) looks only. It had independent suspension as well. A nightmare at speed. Rolled over all the time. God I was happy when the hummer showed up.

I don’t know, I notice it the other way. Damn near every time a civvy rescues a person, cat or even stays to help a neighbor they are called a hero. A good samaritan is one stops to help you change a tire. To me, it’s any easy definition: if the person literally puts their own life jeopardy to prevent harm to another…
