Fuck you jalopnik. Keep your political views to yourself. You dickheads assuming you know an ounce of shit about veterans is a disgrace.

Back in the day we just complained that FTA brought military stuff to to an automotive site. Now FTA is just a shell site for anti-trump pro-gawker pro-theslot liberal garbage. Please do is a favor and either associate FTA with the liberal parts of this site or quit posting your political crap on the jalopnik tree.

We demand 2 stroke engines! Bring back detroit diesels for commuter cars!

Because it’s written by a Gawker “economist”. I’m surprised HamNo didn’t chime in to tell us how it will makes things cheaper somehow. You can’t double the cost of transportation without at least some increase in shipped goods pricing.

*Yes, I know it seems to be broken.

Why does this truck sound like a race car?

This video has a better angle on the whole twin-stick antics:

Let’s use some electronic wizardry to figure this out. Enhance ... enhance ... there! Okay, clean it up a little, correct the parallax ... good. The answer is right there on top of the knob:

So it’s basically what US Customs does to Defenders and Skylines.

This will only add $500 (- $900) to the cost of every car put out.

Low income new car buyers? LOL.
