Money is only real to tax paying citizens. It doesn’t matter to the financiers who control our government. Money IS the weapon not the ordinance.

I know its kind of crass but all I keep thinking about is: 100 million of ordinance was just fired. (1.6 million a pop).

Look man.... I don’t like it any more than yo do, but I’m in too deep at this point. Two...okay three more videos and then after launch, no one will talk about this car ever again. I promise :D

ENOUGH ABOUT THIS FUCKING CAR ALREADY

I DD a 20 year old 4Runner and yeah, this thing is remarkable. 349,000 miles and counting, daily driven on a 45 mile round trip.

I daily drive a 25 year old Toyota 4Runner with no updates besides regular maintenance and an engine rebuild(head gaskets, bearings etc, not really a full rebuild) about 10 years ago. It starts every morning, has required no major work and with the addition of a phone mount lacks few features compared to a modern…

Aston Martin Lagonda. AM’s first attempt at a sedan.

That’s based on the rates of chartering one of the Central Park horse & carriage tours. If you’re starting in NYC, that’s by far the easiest access to a horse and carriage.

Carollton, KY church bus crash of 1988 is the reason why all buses became diesel.

When I was a kid, I walked to school. Uphill. Both ways.

Nope. Crossover mileage is close enough to sedan mileage now that no one would use that as a decisive shopping metric. The couple of MPG difference is FAR outweighed by the cargo and family hauling increase you get with the crossover body style.

If Starbucks would just lower their drive-thru windows by six goddamn inches nobody would need a crossover.

Because in the US, a school bus is a medium-duty truck chassis with a cheaply built passenger box on it, at least most of the time. And most medium-duty trucks are diesels.

Is it just me or do school bus fumes smell different than other diesels? I can always recognize the smell of a bus because it’s like diesel mixed with glue...

After the tragic Carrollton Bus Disaster of 1988, Kentucky, at least, mandated that all school buses be diesel-powered because diesel is less flammable, which is something to consider when you have as many as 65 children’s lives, plus that of the driver, at stake.

If they were low to the ground they’d get hung up on railroad crossings and cresting hills because the wheelbase is so long.

What gas engine you know that can sit for 3 months over the summer, run thousands of miles in stop and go traffic in suburban areas, and is reliable enough to transport children?

Up here in the frozen north, most busses are gasoline, not diesel.

3' off the ground because of graded crossings, diesel because service/maintenance schedules due to heavy usage.

It will pay for the first two years of the study on replacing school busses, afterwards there wont be any money left so they will have to use stuff from David Tracy’s back yard instead
