Immigrant cars doing the work that American cars refuse to do.

As much as Ford and Chevy would like to believe otherwise, for utilitarian cars they’re still plagued with quality issues you don’t see in Japanese cars. I don’t get it. It’s almost as if they were run by a mindless board that only wants to maximize profit for as long as they can while under-investing in R&D and…

So it’s needlessly complicated for the sake of being complicated? Thanks, that’s all you needed to say.

The new systems literally will NOT recognize components, unless a John Deere Representative comes out and runs their recognition USB key to unlock the tractor.

This would be like if you needed to change the brakes on your car and could only go to the dealership, because the moment you removed the wheel, the engine…

Because they were trying to impress Wall Street with a “bold” plan for the future.
