I have a 1969 C10. It’s not as bad as people think so long as you can get a similar configuration. I.E. if you can find a single cab short bed Silverado (discontinued in like 2018 I think), it’s actually not that much bigger than my short bed C10. The biggest difference is height and the generally tough guy bulky…

For most half ton trucks, you can max out the payload before you max out the bed space if you are loading heavy things like mulch, gravel, dirt, blocks, bricks, pavers, etc.

With no testing, we can’t really verify that it is any less safe than the more traditional setups. Maybe Mercedes new setup is as safe as everyone else’s setup and the current loose regulations are actually stringent enough that regardless of traditional single SIS vs new split SIS, both actually establish a similar…

Maybe I’m just a small brained dummy, but I am 100% for anything that is within the letter of the rule book but outside the spirit of the rule itself. It’s how you get innovation and differentiation. Unfortunately, that type of innovation typically gets shot down when the rule book is changed to eliminate that…

Besides having a more squared off roofline, how does a 300 have more interior space than a Charger? Is it just different seats or something that are less bulky?

Hmmm, that is a good point I didn’t think of. Really would suck to have to evacuate after using your Silverado to power your house for a few days, only to find out you have 20 miles of range left. But, I think this is probably more for generic heat waves and not for evacuation type disasters. So think big heatwaves…

though, there ain’t anywhere else to go but up when you are at the bottom.

At least in Canada it seems to require the use of emergency powers; even then straight up seizure is still up in the air if it’s entirely possible/legal or not. In the US, the government can already, and regularly does, steal property from citizens every year via asset forfeiture. IDK, maybe Canada has issues with…

Easily, the Dodge Charger. It went from a kind of awkward looking and expensive Coronet that didn’t sell well to the greatest looking American car of all time that way out sold Dodge’s expectations.

Isn’t Chevy a much bigger contributor/partner to the indy engine development and construction than simply going to Ilmor and slapping their name on it? I had always thought it was more of a true partnership with much more shared contributions, is it not?

I want a wide body scat pack Charger, but you’re 100% right about the big luxury cars. Their affordable prices keep interesting me considering their initial purchase price from only a few years ago and the crazy number of features you get with them. I never thought I’d be debating between …

I did when I first bought my Tacoma. So.....

The “too nice” complaint is 100% bologna. You can get base model HD trucks, that are really really basic. Hell, you can get sub-base model commercial/fleet spec models even if you want to.

Not everywhere people off road is tight or technical stuff. Depending on what you are doing, full size stuff can be better than the smaller stuff. I kind of like big off road stuff if it is actually functional and think stuff like a AEV Prospector XL would be sweet.

What? No way. At the beginning there was no federal income tax or corporate tax. Federal funding was mostly raised via tariffs payed for by importers. Sure, the cost is passed along to the consumer, but importers paid the taxes.

I mean, Erin is a professional after all.

I know, but the article is clearly not talking about payroll taxes, so why mention them at all? It is clearly about corporate taxes, that the author, perhaps poorly, referred to as “federal taxes”, and the fact at how laughably easy it is for corporations like Tesla to legally avoid paying.

No it doesn’t. Like I said, Tesla didn’t pay income tax, the employee did. Tesla merely took the amount the employee specified on their W4 and sent it to the government on behalf of the employee. What’s next, you’ll tell me that most religious organizations & non-profits pay taxes because they employ people who do?

Ok, I’ll bite, why should payroll taxes have anything to do with “federal taxes” in the context of this article? As I’m sure you are aware, payroll taxes are only payed by the employer on behalf of the employee and don’t really have any relation to discussions about corporate tax, other than the fact that labor…

LA is already used to using architecture to hide things they don’t wanna see too.
