Beg to differ. Alan was pretty awesome.

Well it is Michigan, home of the WORST roads consistently everywhere of any state I’ve been in.

But muh gub’ment job security!

Oh they will be able to. Being part of the design side, I see how many things that we used to slog through take mere moments with the software and predictive algorithms available today. AI will slowly replace us for design in all but the most creative roles. It’s not doomsday, just a reality we have to be prepared…

True but we as a species ought to start thinking about what we’re gonna do when AI and automation has made it so that majority does not/cannot work. It’s not all that far away. I’m 30 and it will happen before my retirement age. As an engineer I should fare better than most but eventually even mine will be replaced.

Both V6s.

Reason #38 I don’t concealed carry in my car....

“unlike conventional trucks with cabs that are about the height of the windshield”

And this is why I recommend to anyone looking at an F-150 who tows moderate loads often to get the 5.0l. It gets much better fuel economy while towing and is right there with the Ecoboost V6s in regular daily use too.

I know, that drives me NUTS. Don’t block traffic/make people slow just because you couldn’t plan. Go through the intersection and turn around, dumbass!

This one. Also people that decide they need to turn right while AT the intersection, after being in the left lane for miles. People don’t plan their driving, that drive around aimlessly.

Rate of speed = acceleration

Driving is a privilege. Junk that is unsafe should not be on the road, and I don’t care about the owner’s financial situation.

I got to drive one at the Dearborn Development Center’s steering and handling track. It’s a hoot and it sounds a lot better than most 4 cylinder engines.

I love that little 3 cyl EB Fiesta. Great little car.

If you look on the far side of the engine in the picture, you can see part of a turbocharger and a wastegate actuator. I too, though, was looking for the word ‘turbo’ or ‘turbocharged’.

Ehhh...the Continental looks pretty uninspired when you see it out in the wild as a limo. It definitely doesn’t have the looks of a flagship.

Good. Fuck ‘em.

No excusing the dumbassery here, but even non-electric cars and trucks are getting too quiet these days. I remember walking up near a ‘15 F-150 prototype and I nearly didn’t notice it backing up because it was so quiet.

*slow clap*
This is a fantastic synopsis, Alex.
