“Even if the Biden administration did everything right, nothing would be any different currently because it takes so long...” is your basic argument? What a load of crap. He didn’t do anything right regarding safety and therefore he gets zero credit. Did the Repubs actively go the opposite direction? For sure, but…

I thought the driver plus seat had a minimum weight. So a lighter driver may result in added ballast, but it’s still limited to the seat area, right? So it’s not like a lighter driver could mean ballast being added way out front, or way in the back, or drastically changing the overall weight distribution of the total…

I’m not sure who would think that a bag inflating as fast as it does, as safely as it does (or should, Takata), all while being stored as compactly behind an innocuous looking panel for potentially years and years of massively fluctuating temperatures, would be a simple thing.

Yes, a lot of blame is on the repubs, since, well, Trump repealed Obama’s train safety measures regarding breaks—though we still don’t know how much of a role that played here. But Biden could have pushed to get it reinstated, and Biden rolled over on the Union that was calling for safety improvements and better sick…

If we take the word “massive” very literally, all of these vehicles you listed have a lot of mass.

These guys were raised to play football.  They went to college to play football.  So many of them don’t know shit about money, investing, and creating a financially stable future.

The Subaru CVT fluid is $20~$25 per quart depending on where you get it. A drain and fill takes 4 quarts. Most shops charge $300-600 for the job if you’d rather not do it.

I’ve got a ‘18 Outback with 90,000 miles. The CVT has started slipping while cold on initial start up. A drain and fill didn’t help. A second drain and fill didn’t help either.

Who knows.  This tailgate is a lot thicker than those taco’ed Tacoma ones, so that should help.

Uhhh... what?

The Eclipse is offered in an AWD hybrid. The Maverick is built on the same platform.  When the Maverick first came out, it was thought they didn’t offer a AWD hybrid Maverick was mostly due to supply chain issues and struggles bringing new products to market at the time.

The real one with no warning is oxygen toxicity. Relatively fine one minute, dying the next because you are suddenly in a seizure and thus drowning because you can’t keep your regulator in your mouth...

Depending on the certification agency (PADI, SSI, NAUI, GUE...) that’s normally the “advanced” certification.

50 ft of water should be trivial for any certified scuba diver. The recreational “limit” (I use quotation marks because it’s not like there is scuba police out there) is 60 ft.

Sweet. So you’re going to provide a better source than I have, right? Proving me wrong, right?

Uses sporadic and weird punctuation and capitalization, calls dude out for super common mis-spelling.

There’s 675 HD dealers in the USA. You’d need a sample size of ~245 to get a confidence level of 95%

My entire point is that you claim a huge part of HD’s success was war vets coming home and buying HD’s because of the war. But that same exact scenario didn’t save Indian, and Indian effectively went out of business in 1953. There were eight years in there for war vets to buy Indians. And yet somehow HD made it and…

I agree with a lot of your story, but at the same time it ignores Indian.  A lot of servicemen drove Indians in the war.  Indians were HD competitors.  And yet, Indian died shortly after the war and each attempt to revive them basically flopped until Polaris finally got the name.  And even then, while successful, it…

BMW has the CE 04...
