I love the 7.3 (and 5.9 Cummins, and the original Duramax) but cheese and rice do I hate having to drive behind one of the pre-emissions engines.

There will be parts availability on a Ford F-Series pretty much up until the Sun consumes the Earth. It’s a safe bet in this case, and that 7.3 will still be running by then too.

I'm not sure the barista starting every window interaction with "The car in front of you tipped 100% and would like you to keep it going" will be greeted as well.

It allows for prep of multiple orders at once, so the cashier is never waiting on food (or waiting less). It if takes 1 minute to make a meal, and 30 seconds at the window, you can process 2X the number of orders, as the cashier never has to wait 30 seconds extra for the meal to be made.

The person with the 46 dollar order is certainly getting something for free.

For fuxsake, “Pay it forward” at place where moderately affluent people order overpriced coffee from the comfort of their large SUV sounds comically pretentious and tone deaf, even during a time where virtue signalling for sport is common place.

Covid has destroyed drive-thrus for me in general. Nothing like being in a hurry and stopping at my local fast food place, and waiting an inordinate amount of time for the car ahead of me to get their order, only to watch them get two garbage bags worth of food handed to them.

THANK YOU.  Forced generosity or charity is neither.  Also, sorry, not sorry, I don’t want to be the guy who has the cheap and easy order having to pay for the family of 6 behind me - I don’t have to justify my reasons, but sometimes people just can’t afford it.

The pay it forward thing has always been the dumbest thing imaginable. It’s performative charity for people who don’t need it. Want to feel good? Donate time or money to an actual cause. Or, as this article wisely suggests, tip the workers.

I wasn’t aware that rolling a stop sign was a life saving maneuver lol 

I think the bigger concern here is the sentence stating “Will not exit passing lanes”. Does this mean from now on Teslas will be hogging the left lane 100% of the time? Lane hogging is already bad enough as it is. I am not familiar with Autopilot, can you set the speed like cruise control? If so then are we going to…

Aren’t new Broncos incredibly hard to buy for anything close to MSRP? Seems like a false comparison. Ford is selling every vehicle they can build and it’ll likely be years before supply catches up with demand. That’s when you can make a true sales comparison with the Wrangler.

The point is that the comparison to F-series sales to Silverado/Ram 1500 sales isn’t the same comparison. It should be:

I want some other competitor to offer HotWheels cars or something like that and count them towards their sales volume.

“...the company sold a tick over 35,000 Broncos. The company also sold about 108,000 Bronco Sports in all of 2021. Add those numbers together, and the two Broncos sold 143,192 units last year.”

I keep making that same dumb joke because lots of ppl on this forum feel this way - that unless an ev gets 600 miles of range while towing 25k pounds and costing 30k that there is no point to an ev. 

The no sale makes SO much sense.

Yep.  Except this is more like suing you if I steal your gun and start shooting people.

I am sure the default procedure is to send the bill to the registered owner of the car. 99% of the time that is the right person. In this rare instance, he is not the right person and just has to show he was not responsible, notwithstanding that he is the registered owner. This is bureaucracy at its best, nothing more…

If they change his policy without his consent, a good lawyer can probably straighten that out real quick.
