I read that as the American Society of Pedantics at first and just started laughing hysterically at work.

Even good for some mild off roading as well.

If he’s bound and determined to get a sedan, there’s the GLI as well. With 8K plus trade he might get close enough to new to finance the minimum amout and pay it off in a year or two.

The fact that the Corvair was an example used to highlight the general lack of safety in the auto industry and especially the small car segment resulted in the death of the Corvair and nothing else changing until the 80s is both incredibly sad and incredibly funny at the same time.

I would. I love Corvairs.

Price is one thing, finding one is harder because I’m pretty sure the Mid-Ohio School buys every one that comes to market as backups.

Seems like everyone in the comments forgets that GMC exists.

From everything I’m seeing it was only on the 2500HD and 3500HD pickups for the first two years. Evidently the ZF 6-speed was also an option on the pickups. Neither of these options were ever on the Avalanche or Suburban

Even the TT-S isn’t that much of a value proposition over the Golf R. The only one that was worth anything is the TT-RS.

Unfortunately the Avalanche didn’t come out until after the 8.1/Allison combination was dropped from the HD trucks. I think they only did that for a couple years before the Allison became diesel only.

The old F100 unibody trucks weren’t really unibody vehicles. They were body on frame like normal pickup but they removed the separation between the cab and bed.

General rule in our family was if it was truck based, it’s a truck. If it’s car based, it’s a car. Got all of the nuance out of the way.

Missouri was interesting in that it followed those rules, but an SUV/CUV/passenger van can be licensed as either a car or a truck. This is how it was when I left 5 years ago, but I’m not sure if it has changed.

And if you need more there was 3/4 ton version of the first generation.

I did the exact same thing.

Already happening. The final packing step is still done by humans but otherwise the warehouses are pretty much staffed by robots.

Pretty much. With wage stagnation being what it is, we are almost all serfs, but instead of working on a farm out in the open, we work in air conditioned cubicle farms, for the most part.

Let me introduce you to the wonders of industrial automation. It has been taking jobs since the 1950s when relay logic started to be installed in many factories. The first Programmable Logic Controller was invented in 1968 and started to be installed throughout the US in the 70s in the small scale. Once the 1980s hit…

Those were the episodes released to DVD in the US. These are the earlier Japanese shows that are being brought over.

If you notice he always gets the most tuned and best set up cars. I bet he had first choice written into his contracts.
