It’s easy to make fun of the guys that never use pickups. I know, I have done it. However, a pickup as a secondary vehicle makes a hell of a lot of sense, even if you only use the bed once a year.

The Raptor isn’t a “tuner boy racer”, it’s a Baja off-roader and it does it very well.

You’re looking at this from the wrong angle: these are good things.

Imagine an ICE car with the base model having the following standard features: RWD, 283hp, 0-60 5.1 seconds, 18" alloy wheels, ACC and lane keeping, panoramic roof, large 15" touch screen, real wood veneer in the dash, pleather seats, soft surfaces everywhere you touch, 12-way power and heated seats. In what world…

A Model 3 road noise is on par with most midsize sedans. Most (all?) full size trucks are now quieter. A ram 1500 is significantly quieter for example. Luxury car? - I think you’d have to make your own fart noises.

I don’t think he hit her though, he definitely spat back which was funny and then she went off. Nah Women need to control themselves just as much as men. Wanna pick a fight with someone, you better actually know how to throw down. Men are not your dam punching bags.

For this to work, it has to be treated as a matter of National Security, with funding present to keep the foundries propped up and available for smaller (relative to Intel, AMD, etc.) orders. It would be nice to have US-based chip capability that would be interested in doing everything from multiple project wafers to…

Ride sharing services were never meant to be primary income for anyone. Just because certain groups of people decided to try to make it primary income doesn’t change that fact...and the fact they don’t get benefits or the pay they want helps point that out. Quit trying to make it out to be something it isn’t and…

Bullshit.

2.7 million views for his YouTube channel is why.

Elon Musk stated recently that Auto Pilot could not be used w/o someone in the driver’s seat. It’s proves again that he’s a liar or not as smart as people think.

Because the companies made it really attractive with matching shares and shit, hyped up the do well for the company and you'll reap the rewards angles too.

Boom.

Paying for beta versions has been all the rage on gaming platforms for decades. Valheim has over 4 million sales and is still in beta. Minecraft had 1 million sales by the time its beta ended.

Since you named your Cougar “Karen” (chapeau!) I suggest “Chad” for the Merc.

Neutral: I used to name my cars. First car (‘00 Focus ZX3) was Petra. Next car (‘02 Cougar) was Karen. Next car (06 Wrangler) was Dianna Boss. Next car (‘13 Charger SRT) was Arnold. ‘14 Accord was Kiki. Now I have an 08 E550 and it doesn’t have a name but my wife commonly refers to it as “your damn Mercedes”.

The big issue with trains in the US is our lack of population density, AND our lack of *destination* density. Even city to city, outside of the dense OLD cities of the northeast (which has excellent train service, surprise, surprise) hardly anyone is going city center to city center like in Europe. It’s all this far…
