Again, they can do something else, no one is forcing them to do this. What has changed over the several decades this occupation has existed?

I do actually, I travel half the year around the world and I share hotels all the time, though it’s been less these last two years for obvious reasons.

Depends on the hotel room and the person your staying with. Not so terrible compared to other things in your job that can suck. Traveling the world being a part of F1, can’t be all that bad right?

Well, if there wasn’t enough positive in the roles, they would simply do what the World is doing and quit, find another job that is better like F2 or another series as mentioned in the article.

My passive keyless entry doesn’t unlock itself. I have to touch the underside of my driver’s side door handle for it to unlock. I then touch a button on top of the door handle to lock it.

Unfortunately that train is leaving, it won’t be long before you need to buy something used to get a manual transmission. Which I did recently, so nice to have one of those again.

Gotcha, when I read “battle of wallets” and saw HPD, I automatically went to the engine battles.

I use to be against push-button start, I thought it was a gimmick. Though it kind of is if you don’t have passive entry.

Pratt & Miller building the Chevy engines? I thought it was Ilmor still doing bowties in Indycar. 

Actually, just confirmed the base price for a TRX is $72,120, so we both apparently wrong, which is about in the middle of our estimates. Note all the prices I’ve mentioned included destination.

I think the TRX starts at $74K, but it’s pretty stripped for a modern truck at that price point, not even passive entry. The AT4X is probably pretty loaded.

That makes sense. But just to mention, GMC Sierra has their own ZR2 version, called the AT4X, which starts at $75,000!

For a lot of truck buyers, there is the allure of that V8 sound that adds a sense of occasion that you don’t get from a more powerful twin-turbo V6. There is also the fear of long-term durability of a gas turbo motor that isn’t exactly unfounded.

California isn’t that far off in $6 gas prices, biggest sellers are still gas guzzlers. You need maybe $7 to match inflation highs to get people to change what they are driving currently.

I’ve lived in Europe, they don’t love small cars, they tolerate them due to size limitations of their streets and tax schemes that make them the most affordable to own.

The Bronco is a Wrangler competitor, this would never do for that. 

They aren’t really looking for technical support, especially since there will be an engine freeze. They are looking to pay the bills on the motor side since Honda won’t be doing the engine stuff after 2023.

Yup, that is likely scenario as well. 

I didn’t mean to sound defensive, just informational, but hard to convey emotion on a message board.

Where did I say it was just their designs? I said their IP, which means everything from my perspective, even then it’s going to take another year before they can even take it over, 2022 will still have the motors built in Sakura by Honda. Red Bull won’t be ready in the UK until at least 2023.
