They bungled the Explorer/Aviator launch pretty hard. The Focus RS had those great head gasket issues. I seem to recall other recent launches they didn’t do so hot on either. I really wouldn’t trust a Ford vehicle from within the first couple years of manufacture.

Well the goal of these Reddit posts is ALWAYS to rush to point out that both people are assholes, because that way they get to feel superior to everyone in the situation. It’s diet Enlightened Centrism.

All components fold or collapse into parts that can be easily stowed in the Cybertruck vault, preserving EV range during transport.

While I don’t work in crane ops, I did take a rigging course from a sling company before. And (when done right) it’s much more involved than “eh throw a sling on it.” Especially when lifting very heavy loads, trying to get each leg to see relatively equal forces, all that stuff...

How it feels trying to decipher all of this:

Ice has been a known piece of shit for as long as I’ve had the misfortune of knowing of him. Anyone getting ripped off by him at this point basically deserves it.

Yeah I forgot about Porsche somehow. I’ll take the brave stance that Porsches are cooler than Hyundais.

I told someone recently that the GV70 is the only crossover that is remotely cool

Now your bike can look like a SEMA reject from the factory! (disclaimer: I don’t know if there are bikes at SEMA).

Well... it finally went later.

He’ll be elected to our Florida Senate next cycle I’m sure.

You get the ingredients, then assemble them yourself

For real, that was my sticking point. At my job they were handing out exemptions like fucking candy apparently, since the people responsible for approving them don’t think the vaccine is necessary. Yaaay....

When I do motorcycle track days, a stop at the McDonalds on the way back is nearly a ritual. After that much exercise for so long, I don’t feel bad inhaling some subpar food, I just need calories. And McD’s has that comfort factor for sure.
