‘Tight-knit community’ What a load of crap. If the community was that welcoming and together, kids wouldn’t be getting sent to parochial schools. I’m thinking Vermont, or an inner-city neighborhood, rather than suburban Sacramento when people tell me to imagine a close community. ‘Tight-knit’ is lazy journalism vocab.…

This is a good question. It might help us answer how the platform works for both ICE and EV. Is there a conventional driveline past the motivation source?
The E-GiMP platform. There. Now my silly thought is out in public.
It’s lazy ‘feel safer’ design rather than crash safety design past a certain point. Subarus rank highly in crash testing, yet offer larger greenhouses. Crossovers with tiny rear windows and giant D pillars are for style, not for crashworthiness.
I think Elizabeth was pretty accurate when she called out the set of customers that are purchasing pickups to wave their auto-wang around. We see those people. We know they are around. The ones with two pickups in the driveway. You know only one is being used for towing and hauling gardening supplies. The ones who…
Hey Raph, instead of wishing that airfare prices would price those less well off out of a flight, and therefore making travel less accessible, inclusive, and all those nice sounding words... You know, Raph’s idea sounds pretty elitist. Good things only for the rich.
The only good point about not having airplanes is that I could take a picture with every Sinclair Dino while driving to my destination, losing days of productivity and still emitting greenhouse gases.
So from what it sounds, it’s less of a frame/structural issue and more of the setpoints where the airbags and seatbelt tensioners fire off at? That’s a pretty bad testing oversight, but not a horrible fix. Just make sure every car comes back for the changes.
I’m confused about the spare tire on the Ural. Can it go anywhere? How would it swap with the front brakes and the rear transmission? How do the wheels integrate with the brakes and transmission? :(
Just remember, Chauvin pled guilty to 3rd degree murder, not 2nd. So he admitted he was guilty of killing a George Floyd, but the jury now has to decide if his actions fulfill the requirements of a 2nd degree murder conviction.
Perhaps an enterprising mother or father can swap wheels off the 4th gen to improve the ride quality off-road.
But there would be open assembly lines in the US once you got rid of the ancient dinosaurs.
I would have loved those aluminum steelies when I was driving my older Foresters. For the snow tires, of course :)
You would think the US would get all the new stuff first, being the land of the truck. But no, the only new trucks we get are the full-sized ones. Is it so hard to just pump out American versions of the Hilux, Navarra, Amarok, etc., instead of pretending Americans are different somehow other than bigger engines? Blah…
Highway Star is run off the edge of a cliff because all you know is the accelerator pedal music. Not out for a spirited drive music.
There’s enough that did serve. More than the amount of vets in the general population. And there’s always Johnny LEO and Jim-Bob armchair warrior at the rallies as well. Enough that the Jan. 6th rally allowed their overweight bodies stuffed in armor plate carriers to waddle into the Capitol.
Lee and the Confederacy were betting on the lack of morale in the Union Army and the resulting lack of support major tactical victories would cause. The Union always hand the capability to grind down the Confederacy via attrition and materiel superiority. But if the Confederacy could string those victories together,…
The O-rings were most likely not built with cult labor. A lot of those in the cult were not well educated if they weren’t in the favored caste. They would need employees higher up on the technician food chain. But - the funding for the machine shops and then the engineering companies was gained from the sweat of cult…
I do like Highway Star. The vocals are kinda screechy early glam metal sounding, though.
