At least one mainstream automaker will be selling gas engines in 2100. Bank on it.

There’s a difference between “it broke while harvesting and I need it back in service ASAP” and “it stopped while harvesting because the cabin air filter reached its service hours limit and an authorized service tech needs to come out and replace it with an OEM filter and reset the timer to get it working again.” And…

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…

Now I’ll never be able to afford that Lamborghini that I wanted :(

I think the problem isn’t just ‘needing a computer’. If I remember right, it’s like dealer only diagnostic tools with cars. It’s that it has to be a Deere authorized mechanic with a proprietary set of hardware that they won’t sell you, and you can’t just use any old laptop.

Yeah, here’s a quote from one of the earlier…

Lipstick n a pig doesn’t NECESSARILY make It a girlfriend

You just need to imagine someone who loves 6.2L V8s.

Once you’ve worked on all big three brand you eventually find their strengths and weaknesses. The new GM’s are put together well. FCA products are consistently the poorest quality vehicles I work on in the body shop. I work for a collision centre of a huge auto group.

Ram finally made a good looking truck and Chevy started using Lexus’s Alien vs Predator design language.  Time will tell if the new Doge trucks still rust away in 3-5 years like they have in the past. 

Yeah, if you keep on pleading innocent in Japan and threatening to wreck their prized ninety something percent conviction rate, then, after tormenting and borderline torturing you for a year or so, then they will quietly let you go. It is all tied into the weird and twisted thing that is the Japanese honor system.

Nobody gets a fair trial in Japan, they are like those Star Trek guys who decide the verdict in advance and the “trial” is just you explaining how the glorious police force found you out. Although, unlike Star Trek, if you keep on pleading innocent they will eventually, after a year or two, quietly let you go because…

He will miss the Skyline of Toyko.

He will need a Pathfinder as he makes his way through the Frontier of Lebanon as Japan will surely send an Armada.

Those detectives must be Muranos...they should have set up a better Patrol

Guess it’s him versa Japan at this point.

“We don’t really need our pickup trucks at all, really.”

You are doing a great disservice to Howard Hughes

It’s very ugly, but because of design choices. Stainless steel is notoriously difficult to form, and as such, doesn’t lend itself to anything but flat slabs or just mild, low-depth stamping.

I know the concept of cognitive dissonance, but reading the Tesla Owners Worldwide FB group today, I got a big dose of it smacked in my face. There are people who truly, truly, truly think Elon walks on water and is the second coming.  That they can look at this and literally say “you are all wrong, this is a…

Are... are they just fucking with us?
