Ford did well putting an electric powertrain in an F-150 and not giving it a stupid name or changing the styling which makes me think Jim Hackett had very little input on that decision, hopefully the electric F-150 is available in the XL and XLT trim unlike the diesel.

As fast as news travels these days, these things can reach critical mass before anyone even figures out what happened.

Tech industry executive getting charged with federal crimes, is it about their skirting the boundaries of anti-trust laws and horrendous labour law violations?, nope it’s about theft of trade secrets.

I look forward to seeing how Hammond manages to get a ship upside down and on fire in the first episode.

Yep if there isn’s a new labour movement soon western civilization is going to backslide into the fucking Victorian Era.

The old gasoline powered Melroe Model 220 Spra-Coupe self propelled sprayer used a VW EA831 bolted up to a Beetle transmission and the smaller 210 used a detuned version of the same engine.

I want 5 engine sounds in an electric vehicle

The Viper or the Bugatti?

So there’s a real world basis for the intro to Ace Combat 7.

Can somebody please explain that concept to John Deere, Sony and Apple.

There’s a great nightlife scene in rural areas, where I live we have curling 2 nights a week, it doesn’t get anymore exciting than that, and it only takes about 15 minutes to walk across town.

Turns out I was looking in the wrong aisle, still can’t find the elbow grease, I guess I’ll just have to buy the flag instead.

IIRC they’re doing it for fuel mileage, I actually don’t mind it the toolbox that used to sit well above the sides of the box on my old ‘78 F-250 and ‘86 C10 actually sits below the top of the box on my ‘18 F-150 so I can actually close the tonneau cover, which with the locking tailgate definitely reduces my worries…

Is the guy who tested that still alive and was his name Billy-Bob, Jim-Bob, or some other variation of (name)-Bob?

Don’t worry too much about the used car market cutting into new car sales, in 2020 the Dems will get in and bring back cash for clunkers to get rid of the supply of affordable used cars forcing people to buy new.

Take your damn upvote.

I’be dealt with lots of Neons, they were inexpensive, pretty peppy with the manual transmission, easy to maintain and repair, and a lot more reliable than they got credit for, probably tied with it’s Civic and Corolla contemporaries.

I’m sure Volvo’s parent company Geely a.k.a. the automotive branch of the Chinese Communist Party would never use cameras watching the driver for anything malicious like mass surveillance, after all Huawei turned out to be 100% trustworthy.

That might work fine somewhere like California, New York, or Toronto, but Try that in Minot, Sudbury, or Calgary that arm is going to be frozen into the base from November to April.

Funk and John Deere came up with this in the 80's it’s basically a scaled down version of the countershaft powershift transmissions that have been used in tractors and heavy equipment for almost 30 years now, but supercar manufacturers adapting technology from ag and heavy duty and claiming it as their own is nothing…
