I’ve always been of the mindset that the best way to take care of the student loan bubble would be to remove bankruptcy protections from student debt.

“No, one is from Tesla, where lack of build quality is part of the charm, and the other is Ford, which hasn’t successfully debuted a car in like 30 years.”

This is a bit morbid to reduce to numbers, but here it goes. 27 passengers is 20 more than designed for, but if we figure those 20 extra passengers weigh an average of 175lbs, it’s an extra 3,500lbs of load. So it was probably like driving an Expedition towing either a camper or medium sized boat.

If only it was that easy.

THE 710 EVEN HAS THE CHRYSLER FADER/BALANCE JOYSTICK!!!!

It's kind of hard to throw the book at the guy who's holding it.

Don’t disagree, but we’re not talking about making sure there are one or two charging stations at each post office, you’d need one for each postal truck that parks there at night. Not only that, you’d now also have to make sure the individual post office building can handle the increased load, the power lines near the…

Watched a salesman tell a customer, looking at a Mustang GT, the underhood sound deadening was part of the “Race Prep Package,” and it was designed as a built in fire blanket. “If there’s ever and engine fire while you’re on the track, the plastic clips are designed to melt and drop the blanket over the engine to put…

I totally agree that the USPS should go all, or almost all, electric, but until every post office is retrofitted with charge cords in every parking space, it's not feasible. Modular architecture at lease allows production to change as infrastructure improves. 

Now, with AWD, there are just more drivers overconfident in their vehicles with less clue about what’s going on between the rubber and the road.

That’s the same reason Chrysler is dying. All the development went into Crossovers and SUVs. It just so happens that an SUV carries a lot more weight with a Jeep badge than it would as a Chrysler. The lineup between Jeep and Chrysler is almost a mirror image of what it was 30 years ago. Back then there were only 3…

This might sound counterintuitive, but Chrysler could use this as the opportunity to go full luxe. Use the new French platforms and make a real run for the luxury market. Without it, it has no real reason to exist.

What about integration of panels into the hardtops. Yes, it's only good for a relatively limited number of miles per day, but it completely frees you from any sort of land based infrastructure (albeit slowly). Even gasoline can only get you as far as your Jerry cans can go. Built in solar offers a basically unlimited…

Everything referenced in the article IS established tech. A missing locknut on a ball joint punch bolt? Missing hardware in an electrical junction box? Improperly stamped body panels? That's all old tech, and potentially hazardous. Tesla may be on the bleeding edge, but that's no excuse for slacking on basic quality…

Apple Maps was a kneejerk reaction to kick Google out of the Apple ecosystem. Given how heated things were between the two companies at the time, I’d say it was luck that there was any map software when Google was pushed out.

Every minute, try every 10 seconds. Every bolt was animated coming out. that means a new frame every 2-3 turns of the bolts. I’m amazed he was able to do this within one day.

Fair point, but this day and age, you’re much more likely to have at least one piston in the engine than either a carburetor or a mechanical fan.

Logistically, the best bet here is to convert one of the drivetrains to a slushbox. That probably means the Subaru. You could put the autostick in the VW side, but you'd still be shifting with two hands and zero hands on the wheel. 

Not only that, if you’re going to make that big of a change, why make the icon LESS distinctive. If anything, go with something more easily recognized as “Engine”
