Is Stonehenge larger than 18" ?

Watched the video yesterday and a couple takeaways

My 15 year old Dodge is 1800 lbs.

same goes for all the cadillacs, chevrolets, lexus, audis etc that have the exact same system for the past 20 years...

Why do automakers insist on installing electrically powered doors? Just give us manual door locks like we’ve had forever. They work. They are easy to fix. They don’t require idiotic emergency levers. Stop overcomplicating things that work perfectly fine.

Don’t get dumped while using your BumperDumper. 

Apparently this truck can’t even handle one of those Harbor Freight “trailers-in-the-box”.

These electric door releases need a redesign. There should be one handle per door. Half a pull - electric release, full / hard pull - mechanical.

I was once a mechanic and the number of 6 figure car drivers that are running around with bald tires and begging their mechanic to put in cheap regular oil instead of synthetic oil is insane. Half of these guys don’t have 2 dimes to rub together.

It’s probably out of warranty by now. ;-)

I hope, if nothing else, this story dispels any myth that wealth is synonymous with higher intelligence.

Well, that’s the first time Nissan balked at sending out a poorly engineered product! (I’m not letting spelling get in the way of this joke.)
