I had read Verstappen’s comment and thought he was just whining. I didn’t read enough or think enough about the heat in the tires.

I agree. There may be language issues or other factors but they did sign the contract. It doesn’t absolve crappy companies in my eyes but training is expensive. Especially for a license or certification that stays with the employee.

The only issue that I would point out in favor of a trucking company that paid the fees for an employee to get their CDL should have some recourse for the money they paid for the fees as the Driver keeps the Driver License. I work in transportation and have trained those who were not yet even employees to get their…

Mr. Orr’s story isn’t the only thing in the article. The only point I made was on the general tone of the article as I see it, not the specific example. As far as “them” ruining someone’s life until they get their money that pretty much covers every industry in the US. Workers have never been on a level playing field. 

Yes. I read this one. Not going to subscribe to the New York Times to complete their story. I am not defending the trucking industry and I am not assuming that is your issue with my reply. 

One of the reasons the prospective employee is required to agree to repay the company that trained them is that getting a CDL is expensive and becoming more difficult every year. And the result of that training is a commercial driver license that belongs to the Driver and not the company. The prospective employee has…

No argument there. Those brands seem to go out of their way to make the new stuff look like the old stuff.

I said most can’t tell the difference. I can, but I pay attention to stuff like that. In general their design has been the similar for years. And as for the Charger mentioned later; it too is long in the tooth so to speak. But it isn’t a $100k+ wanna be status symbol. 

Yes, really. Most wouldn’t be able to tell the difference with the exterior.

Seems like it still is.

If it had say 250 ft/lbs or so of torque I would keep the diesel. I think I read it had something like 190 ft/lbs. 

I remember test driving a Colt turbo. I would light up the front wheels pretty good. Didn’t seem horrible at the time.

I am not a fan of 2 or 3 door SUVs but would love this with rear doors in just this trim level. And a wiring swap. And an LS swap (not anti diesel but this one just doesn’t have enough grunt).

A friend of my Dads had a few TR-7s and TR-8s. I would love a TR-8 and fully expect to regret said purchase if I even came into possession of one. But it would sure be fun while it ran.

The market that his worries apply to numbers in the dozens.

The water issue gets overlooked on a vast basis. I would not be surprised if we soon have wars over fresh water.

God (if/which) doesn’t care what you drive. 

1. I coupe is 2 doors. I will accept the hatch but not the half-doors.

I would like the 19" ones better if they were 17"-18".

Those look great.
