Not a surprise. I remember all the flak it got from a decent amount of commentators. Too small. No usable space in the bed. No useful towing. But it was pretty clear out the gate that this would be a big win for Ford. And it does all the truck that 90% of truck owners need. I hope we see other manufacturers respond.

There is the immature “why can’t everyone buy what I liiiiiiiiike?” argument. I see this argument as being similar to people not liking the paint color that you or I chose for our vehicles. It’s my choice, and it has zero effect on others. Suck it up. So you’re right in that respect.

I worked at Wix, and can attest that they do indeed know a thing or two about filters. Also, don’t use Fram.

almost certainly a tax dodge.

the BVI company will have a Caymans subsidiary that “owns” all the process IP, which it will “license” to the BVI company, which will in turn “license” it to the Minnesota subsidiary, the cost of the license will conveniently align with expected profit margin on both the extraction…

Idk there, a solid 1cm? (Dimensions hard to judge) crack in a welded part that is on visible non-redundant drivetrain parts doesn’t seem like “invisible and unpredictable” until it breaks. It seems more like the kind of thing that bridge inspectors note growing fatigue cracks on for 20 years before anyone actually…

Police would eventually learn that both trucks had been reported stolen

Heck, I still remember working the left-handed threads on the driver’s side lugnuts of 1960s Chrysler products. Makes me think maybe the buddy system would be the most foolproof.

Yeah, give the PR guy a raise. This was probably cheaper than buying a TV ad and I’m sure will sway a lot more buyers to shop at their dealership instead. 

Aw damn! I love reading your stories of your own insanity but this is one where I could have helped! I live in frickin Stanwood and I have entirely furnished, 1,100 square foot unoccupied two bedroom apartment in my basement complete with kitchen, 75 inch TV, Xbox One, and a friendly dipshit dog where you could have…

Let’s not kid ourselves that this isn’t (at least in large part) an opportunity for good PR for Frank Kent MC.
 
Still, motives aside, good on them for stepping in to help out.

This might hold true if car companies were having any trouble selling every new car they make.

It matters if:

1. The car is totaled and you don’t have GAP insurance. (You really should get GAP insurance...).

2. You want to trade it in. (You make poor money decisions if you do this).

Houses and cars are depreciating assets without maintenance. land is an appreciating asset. as luck would have it houses are generally stuck to the land they are built on thus they gain the appreciation of the land regardless of the maintenance. there’s also the fact that the design of a home factors in far less than…

They do require maintenance, but the age of a house doesnt have any direct correlation to its value. In US real estate the value of the house is also intrinsically linked to the land its on because they are so rarely sold seperately. While they are sometimes considered depreciating assetts for tax purposes, in reality…

1st gear:

There’s usually no traffic after midnight unless it’s construction or a car accident.

Because we’ve spent forty years kicking problems down the road for someone to deal with in the future, and the future is now, well, now?

Based on previous Hummer owner’s I have seen at least in my neck of the woods - yes, tacky works.

I’m about an hour and a half from the factory. My count is at 3 car carriers, one of which only had 2 trucks on it in seemingly random locations for... reasons?
