These are so utterly unremarkable and forgettable. I’ve been in the back of one that an instructor was hooning around the track in Pontiac and appreciate the capabilities but I have trouble telling this from a Malibu. Same happened with the GTO/G8. If you are going to build a bad ass performance car can you make it…

Prices on these are nutty, but he wants you to pay for the mods, and that’s not how mods work. Stock offerings with comparable miles are significantly cheaper. Stock offerings at comparable prices have significantly fewer miles.

“No rush to sell!!”

Only for perpendicular parking.  If the lot is angle parking; you will pull out and be going the wrong way down the aisle.

As long as someone isn’t trying to pull into the spot on the other side it is totally fine.

The problem wouldn’t be you being a skilled driver, it would be you interacting with those who aren’t. Honestly, the biggest problem on freeways would probably be lane discipline if such a license existed. All the “I’m doing 5 over the speed limit, he can go around me if he wants,” people and just plain oblivious…

Police did not identify speed as a primary factor in any of the 14 fatal crashes on 75 mph freeways in 2018

That was a good, well researched story.  Thanks

We love every kind of cheese, with the exception of velveeta. It has its place in the world, but it’ll never be featured in our of our prominent grocery store cheese cases.

Literally everything about this concept is a bad idea. The only thing more difficult than Level 5 autonomy is a system that analyses the driver and tries to seamlessly switch between all 5 levels. Plus you can manually switch levels by stroking the steering wheel? That could not be more confusing. Don’t even get me…

Eh. Unions CAN be a good thing.   A properly run union that legitimately watches out for its employees long term interests, yes.  But they’re just as vulnerable to being corrupted as a corporate system and the blanket statement that they're universally good leaves a lot to be desired.

I for one would be ecstatic if there were less unattentive people driving appliances on the road.

You hit the nail on the head with “project”. At under $2K you aren’t even really buying a vehicle. You’re buying a project.

As soon as I read the headline I knew. Congrats and thanks for all the great comments, I always enjoy reading your comments. 

I’m speechless, but with 36,895 comments, I haven’t always been speechless.  This post is the best prize ever!  Thanks so much, Andrew!

In a larger sense, never treat anything on social media as a primary source for anything. The major news outlets have a hard enough time checking facts and validating sources, then you have to sift through their biases, too. If you read it on a social feed, treat it like a conversation you overheard between two drunk…

You make this sound like it’s irreparable.

The issue is that John Deere’s proprietary tech is ridiculously invasive. If you have to wait for a tech every damn time you have a breakdown during harvest - and all of your neighbors have to wait for a tech too - that’s a ton of lost time. And techs aren’t cheap either.

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 there is a story I’m all too familiar with.
