the 30' RV I have is why I have such a big truck myself....I’ve also got 5 cars and would take the Edge or the Cherokee if I had to park in that garage...why make life routinely difficult? MOST people would be better with a 2 car solution than a single car compromise for so many reasons.

that’s what Uber is for!  If I lived downtown Chicago, there’s no way I’d own a car, let alone a truck.

learned something today - some F150's have very low top speed limiters. Love Jalopnik! 

I’m a Ford guy - I’d go with the 5.0 F150, but for this kid, but I’m betting he’ll buy a Ram (cheaper and flashier).

I can’t change physics, that’s true.  Beer’s on me....I don’t know which brewery to pick in Houston, but if you’ll point out the one with the best Hazy, I’ll buy the first few rounds.

I can parallel park a F250 more easily than most sedans - and it fits in all the parking garages I’ve ever tried in Chicago- in fact, most parking garages have better spots for oversized vehicles...maybe you need more practice? I’m also good at saying no to people. Flashy, tacky, tomato to-mah-toe....trucks are like

if you’re getting 10 mpg in that, you’re not using enough pedal....

where do you live with a 95mph speed limiter?  what a buzzkill....

He lives in HOUSTON. He needs a truck. With a V8. Pick one - any one that suits your fancy, son. Young guy, that kind of budget, it’s a single cab short bed, or an extended cab short bed. I’ll bet you lunch he picks a Hemi Ram.

WHY DID YOU KEEP BUYING THEM FOR HIM?!?!?!?

Partly because they don’t pay sustainable wages. Uber is pissing it away on creating autonomous vehicles, because they know that’s the only way to make their business sustainable. Their drivers are just a stop-gap in their plans. Which is why I always have a good laugh when those driver try to protest and petition

sadly, I ate one of them - he ate 2.

and yet, the Mustang II front suspension is the basis for so many ‘things we love’.   That was where the market was at the time - early malaise.  

the wheels on the V6 mustangs have traditionally, and still to this day, been ugly - 2 reasons: 1: It makes buyers want to ‘move up’ to the GT and 2: Keep the price low and 2b: Mustang drivers typically buy rims as their first upgrade and typically don’t want to pay OEM option price for upgraded wheels on the first

that’s why these all look like shit.  My son wrecked 3 of the 4 he had.

No Saab was ever a NP.  It’s a Saab.  Technical foul.  10 yard penalty.  First down.

Nonsense, we already allow a certain tolerance for death when it comes to the NHTSA regulating car safety. You’re just fear mongering.

I mean... They regularly vote for defense budgets, to allow cigarettes to keep being sold, for guns to keep being sold (I know, fuck me right!), for perscription drugs to remain cost prohibitive.

the difference is that nobody can identify specifically which particulate from which source is the killer, and therefore liable.
