lol...good reply Sarah. There is no pleasing some.

First let me say that I agree with your points as I am more about the destination vice the journey so I stop very little as well. But I think the author makes a good point for her argument. Just don’t think “have to rent a room”. And a hotel can be designed more easily than McDs for those longer stops. A hotel with a…

They sold those pulley systems for Jeep hardtops back in the ‘80s

More features? Have you seen these things lately? A/C, cameras front an rear, and even power windows.

This...I can’t stand that feeling of water in the ear. I use the q-tip to just soak that up, not to actually go deep and clean.

I see a missed opportunity. I’m sure engineering is great but what does it have to sway a buyer from the Ram for overall or the Ford if you want a hybrid? The Ram just feels like a luxury car and can be optioned so many ways. The Ford hybrid is very nice and adds that great electrical power feature. Actually useful.

I’ve been to this facility, full of great, young, intelligent, engineers.....and very few truck owners, if any. I actually asked and no one said they were. (granted, years ago now) First thing I remarked to them was to add a front tailgate as lifting anything over the top too load just doesn’t make sense. Odd looks…

All these comments and no one got the big one....that somehow, by placing a battery on concrete, it will magically discharge in mere minutes! I was taught that by my father who was a mechanic. I guarantee that if you go into shops around the world, you’ll still find them sitting on a slab of would vice the concrete…

That depends my friend. I have read owner’s manuals where it is only described as an emergency brake. Pretty much why people call it that.

Third—- It’s just too easy. I liken it to pain-in-the-ass maintenance. I can do it but I do not want to spend the time doing it and he is a professional who will do it quicker and better than I.

A shit ton of Roombas!

Totally agree. Like all businesses created with good intentions, in the end, it’s just about survival and that’s about the money.

Happy Birthday David! Truly impressive how much you have accomplished in a mere 30 years. By that age, I had only rebuilt two Jeep CJs.

But no where close to being like equipped. If you want a Ram Tradesman Diesel, sure, maybe it can be had for less than $50k. Then compare that to the Santa Cruz SE at $25K. Back to a 40-50% difference.

It’s not all about mpg, it’s price and ease of ownership. A replacement full-size truck stickers around $70k. My drive to work is 5 miles and I average 12k a year or less so mpg is irrelevant. I own a full-size truck but my needs for a full-size have diminished with changes but I still need a place to throw tools,…

Totally agree. A two-door full-sized Jimmy with barn doors was my dream vehicle.

Odd, I read the exact opposite about the Tucson. The hybrid really shines. Maybe the small 4 is weak.

And yet here we are...not only has he made money from it but now random writers are just pointing to it and making more money. God we are pitiful.....

Read the headline, fully expecting to see the Changli being transported in a canoe. Greatly disappointed Jason....... 

If you use it to unlock the doors, then you are transmitting. They only need to be nearby to also receive the signal and spoof it later. If something is transmitting, it can be received and duplicated. At the end of the day, better security of the code is the only answer. Or use a physical key which has its own…
