> I really wish more of an effort was put into refining diesel engines so that their emissions systems are reliable and compliant with current regulations.

Maybe it’s got more to do with the fact that these engines are tasked with providing even more power, and having to haul around a minimum of 5000 lbs. Whatd’ya expect?

Yep, it was all about giving a little more power and meeting emissions targets. Remember kids fuel economy is not emissions, they can be related but not the same. I am sure because of all the fancy control strategies and aggressive EGR being implemented in the turbo 6 that the actual tailpipe number for co2 and nox are…

It always shocks me how many people STILL think the ecoboost F150's are more efficient.

I still don’t understand how it took the first responders almost an hour to get her out.

Here me out... Jetsons car. 

THANK YOU!

Exhaust is wasted power. If we were really serious we’d be fully converting all of the fuel matter into energy.

Bold assumption that no one has ever brought this up to the operating DOT, especially since the police have been called there on multiple occasions. Until the cost of sending cops out there outweighs whatever changes need to happen so people slow down, it is unlikely the municipality in charge will do anything.

is that road tipped the wrong direction? it just looks like it is leaning in such a way as to hinder traction.

Did someone piss in your cheerios again?

HVAC (including heated seats / steering wheel), turn signals, wipers and frequently used stereo controls should ALWAYS be physical buttons. Any items that drivers interact with on a regular basis should be physical buttons / stalks. It’s like we want to move to everything automated / touch-based, but then realize that…

Very Super Troopers.

“that was almost certainly a sarcastic comment”

 I’ll grant that there have been serious issues in the rollout of the flight aid software and some build issues. There is an argument for negligence. That Boeing cut every corner possible with their recent planes is a gross exaggeration. 

Sounds like a textbook case of cops following their training to issue confusing commands and deploy questionable tactics.

Accidental discharge should result in a kid, not a gravesite.

Just the lady whose father has dementia and bought 1500 bucks worth of apple gift cards. It’s hard to keep track of every single little thing an elderly parent is doing (My mother has early-stage frontotemporal dementia and I recently began helping my dad out with her so I have a little experience with stuff like…
