As someone who is 6'4" the reclining functions does nothing to remediate the fact the seats just aren’t designed for someone my height so I just never recline. For perspective, imagine sitting in a seat where the head rest is pushing against your shoulders. It’s absolutely brutal on a 8+ hour flight.

The irony is apparently a Tesla can do a better job of detecting vehicles in its blind spots than it can detect vehicles (specifically the broad side of semis) directly in front of it.

We test drove a ‘13 Acadia and I absolutely loved it, but it’s about 10" longer than our SRX and 12" longer than the ‘06 Equinox we were replacing so I’m not sure I agree it isn’t much bigger.

Personally I think the Equinox is a bit on the small side and lacks a v6, but the Traverse is too large for our needs. The Blazer actually fits the gap which is currently filled with a ‘12 SRX in our household.

I’m honestly not against getting an Equinox despite my size concerns, but my wife is just about dead-set on…

There have been numerous. Probably the majority reside in the heavy diesel market, however.

It has been my understanding that throttle bodies in a modern diesel serve a couple purposes:

But then you’ll never get to experience the life altering event of Death Wobble.

Perhaps limited to a 2wd model, if they offer one...

I’m just asking for those who won’t. I don’t care either way what this thing will have.

A: Usually solid axles are stronger than independent suspension. Most of this relates to the axle shafts and how a solid axle will place the u-joints or CV-joints at a lower answer; the technical answer is longer than I want to get into here.

But the burning question is: Will it have front and rear solid axles?

If I’m going to take that video verbatim, I suppose I need to start shopping for heels. Maybe that will make clutch modulation more comfortable.

There’s a reason you’re one of my favorite writers.

This was a Deere snow blower which I think is manufactured by Ariens.

I have an old snow blower that uses this same drive concept; except the driven wheel is rubber.

If it’s anything like farm equipment, the wiring jobs of aged mules is nothing short of horrendous. I recall one unit I’ve worked with that was about two or three years old; it was easier to just replace the entire wiring harness than try to repair what was there.

I feel your pain. I was selling a CJ5 that I had inherited. A nice family came by, looked it over and agreed to buy it for $4000. I still needed to wrap up some bodgey exhaust work so they agreed they would pick it up the next day.

While driving to work one morning on a two-lane highway I came across a fellow in a Dakota driving in the oncoming lane. My lane. I ended up slowing down and pulling off to the shoulder as he just casually cruised by with nothing but a stoic expression on his face.

I’m on engine #3 now, but I’ll readily admit that #1 and #2 died to mistakes I made in assembly. I purchased the car in pieces because it had suffered the dreaded rod bearing failure.

What makes it run? The tears and constant effort of their owners to keep them on the road. Blood, sweat, tears and cash; lots of cash.
