#4 reminds me of my old ‘78 F-250 grid road truck.

big-ass muscle cars are really not Fiat’s jam, and that means an expensive re-platforming is likely not in the cards.

“Get rid of police cars” is an unrealistic position to take here, police are an emergency service and they do need police cars to respond to emergencies quickly, they can have a Taurus, Explorer, Transit or F-150 those are perfectly reasonable vehicles for use by civilian police departments, the problem here is that

Holy fucking shit! a Jalopnik article bitching about 84 month loans that ever so briefly acknowledges the underlying issue of the last 25-30 years of wage stagnation reducing the buying power of the working class.

Maybe they should have notified the HOA, but at this point anyone impeding quarantine measures should be met with hefty fines or jail time.

Can we get Doug DeMuro to put it in a video with quirks and features.

I hate the fender lights, there should be about 25-40% less grille and can we please end this design trend of haphazardly sticking an iPads on dashboards.

How generous, sure it would be a lot better if they actually paid taxes, but “charity” is cheaper and gives better publicity.

Boy, the cult of Elon is out in force today.

I work in on fram equipment the worst key switch I’ve ever seen was the old Caterpillar Challengers that had key switches that would weld the key into the ignition cylinder and crank the engine if you inserted the key too far, there was no power at the ignition for the ECU so it wouldn’t start it would just crank

Any of those old Ford key cylinders did that eventually, and the first generation Super Duty trucks, I drove a work truck from Listowel to North Bay and got to Huntsville before I realized the keys fell out of the ignition and probably fell out the door when I stopped for gas in Barrie, that truck sat unlocked in

I love it, it looks like one of the higher end GPS receivers used on farm equipment, there might actually be a high precision GPS antenna in there,

If automakers ever went to direct sales 2 things would need to happen.

A piston powered RX will take some getting used to but a Wankel would never be Greta and David-friendly enough to survive very long in the post 2019 world.

Not really affordable, it’s ICE or electric meaning it’s going to be a Jack of all trades master of none.

I’m saying real because I’ve known these sorts of petty, judgemental assholes, and all of them work in HR, it’s the same sort of people that run HOAs they’re useless people who have too much free time on their hands and refuse to MIND THEIR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!

Grille is from a third gen Ford Explorer, the hood and “windshield” is from a Rustang, and the powertrain looks like it may have been a 1100cc or 1200CC Honda Goldwing in a previous life.

I work on farm equipment for a living and there are guys who want older equipment, I love older stuff and the 4000 series Deere is a nice throwback to an age when John Deere wasn’t overpriced as fuck, but the downside is that parts aren’t always readily available at the drop of a hat, more common tractors in the more
