All I’m going to say is.... according to some of those thumbnails, Sandy Munro really needs to borrow a page from Adam Savage and start doing a tool tip series to tell us about some of the less common tools that get used around his shops.

It is a tax issue. A few decades ago, there was a federal tax applied to station wagons that killed the vehicle type for all but a few manufacturers, in part resulting in the dearth of SUVs, crossovers, and hatchbacks we have today. These Audi wagons have at least $5k added to the price because of it.

This article gave me insight into a possible new advertising campaign for Audi. “Audi can build an eight speed transmission. Chevrolet can’t.”

Any federal gas tax increase needs to be invest exclusively in somehow expanding “refueling” infrastructure for alternatively powered vehicles, electric vehicles in particular. Because I suspect that won’t really happen otherwise. Tesla expanding its network of chargers a couple hundred per year in convenience store…

Depends on how many people were riding in it. 660 lbs only represents 3 adult male passengers in a vehicle that could in theory seat 4, so if the driver is the only occupant, then the car really hasn’t gone overweight yet.

I see a shortcoming. IEDs aren’t new and there were a few assassinations done in Italy via IED in that era. I see nothing indicating the cockpit area floor pan was uparmored as well.

If Ford is doing a pick up called Maverick, then they’d better name the trim levels Bret, Brent, Bart and Beau or I’m not buying one.

LOL. Those gauges were BECAUSE there was a lack of fuel economy - I’ve been in 70's Datsun aports cars where you could watch the needle swing toward empty while they did a burn out. As for the Rolls, well, cars for rich folks with bad reputations. The car wouldn’t likely operate long enough to empty the tank before…

How bad is radon contamination? Here in NJ (at least the rocky, northern part of the state) entire TOWNS were condemned due to radon contamination back in the mid-to-late 1980's. There are dozens of communities in the northernmost 6 or so counties that have at least communities and neighborhoods condemned or abandoned…

Today I got my car back from the mechanic, after hitting a deer and stomping on the brakes so hard, I locked up anti-lock brakes. The first thing I had to do was drive across the street from the garage and hit up the new Dollar Tree for air fresheners, lots of air fresheners. The car smelled like the mechanic soiled…

To give Kia proper credit, they are working with multiple self driving vehicle vendors because they realize there will not be a “one size fits all” vendor to rule them all, and by working with multiple vendors, they’ll be able to offer self-driving vehicle3s in a wider range of markets.

House never had cancer. Sometimes it is NOT better to know. Let me give you an example. Three of my grandparents and both my parents died of pancreatic cancer. Guess what I will die of somewhere between the ages of 65 and 80 if an accident of some sort doesn’t get me first? C’mon, go ahead and guess, the answer is so…

What Elon Musk calls “Autopilot” really should just be called “Johnny Cab.”

Except bears. You really do not want to attempt to scare a bear out of a vehicle with the horn unless you have several game wardens standing by.

Dumb runs in the family. Last I heard, every Tesla still came with a horn you can honk before you put the vehicle in motion.

Was this article a teal deer (i.e. TL;DR)? Let me summarize: Dustin “Screech” Diamond, the Florida Man.

The answer is simple. “Millenial investors”. Just as they never learned how to turn off the car headlights “because they’ll just shut off on their own in due time”, they never learned to invest properly, either. Rather than actually researching a company, they all invest based on the concept of “get rich off…

For the clickbait, duh.

LOL. My first thought was “Isn’t that a Delica?” Despite the Mitsubishi badging, a truly rare beast in the wild. I’ve seen exactly two in the wild. I have seen more Lambos, Ferraris, and Rolls Royces on the road than Delicas.

You mean something along the lines of my “if you apply force in the proper upwards slanted motion on the side of the vehicle, you can basically roll any 4 wheeled vehicle with inflated tires onto its roof” tale? (Which I have occasionally demonstrated for nonbelievers on junkers headed for the scrapyard. I’ve left two…
