Oh boy are you about to be disappointed. Not only have I now written about counterweights, but I’ve also written about blue anodized wheel cylinders:

Also, batteries are heavy. Most boats prefer to add lightness.

So I see that GM and Toyota are facing off in the ugliest grille contest.

“Sadly, Bally wouldn’t get very long to enjoy his miniature bomber and he passed away in 2020.”

I’d suggest all this is fiction until units are built, sold and (in the case of makers with defined dealer networks) rolling off dealer lots into truck buyers’ homes.

The Ford still seems like the value play here, and I trust the institutional knowledge of Ford building trucks. It’s hard for me to want to be the first to purchase a new manufacturer, because I’d be worried about them folding.

these numbers are all just funny money until both final EPA numbers are release and actual real world usage numbers start showing up.

the difference between Ford’s “about 300" and Rivian’s 314 are meaningless at this point, and not enough in practice to sway a buyer anyway.

This absolutely strikes me as greenwashing at the highest level. Like Al Gore driving his Prius to the airport to board his private jet.

The “thing” the Challenger has is captive subprime lending.

The customer doesn’t give a damn which supplier makes it.

One thing to mention:

This is part of the risk/issues with buying a first year vehicle that’s early in its release cycle. You become a beta tester on the road for both reliability and/or production issues.

A few quick thoughts:

I assure you that it is not assumed they can drive any car in the household.

A quick note for your corporate overlords: I almost automatically passed over this article because I assumed it was yet another shill “article” paid for by Ford.

Obviously, both of your repairs have had extenuating circumstances forcing you to use mechanics. However, rule #1 of owning a 10+ year old machine, know how to repair it. Even the most reliable vehicle on the planet is going to need things from time to time and relying on mechanics will quickly nickel and dime you to…

Had a guy in Slingshot (I think that’s what it was) wave to me as a I rode my actual motorcycle in the other direction...nah, bro*.

You say you don’t get it, then you go on to admit that you do, in fact, get it.

I suppose Hercules had to hire someone to design it’s new pickup. The concept looks like a photoshopped Titan.

It supposedly effects the hook of the ball, how long it will carry down lane, etc. Also, You can locate the holes in different places (relative to the core) depending on what you want it to do.
