Right? They somehow have time to spend on dumb shit like this, but the rear bumpers fill up with water, roofs fly off, etc.? Ford may shit up every release they do, but at least they don’t shit up every release AND spend a bunch of time fucking around.

905$ million for repairs and, srsly?, overtime pay?

THIS. Shit journalism is shit

OT for Egyptian workers for a week and seemingly superficial repairs to the dirt walls of the canal (the damage doesn’t seem to have affected operations) hardly amount to $900 million. A few million at best.

You can’t provide costs for less than 10% of the ask and write off the next 90% with “cost of repairs to the canal and overtime for workers”.

You think a handful of tugboats and a few excavators working 24/7 for a week is worth 900 million?

WHAT ARE YOU REALLY GETTING AT “JASON”?

I’ve worked in trucking for over 50 years. All these answers are wrong. They are called “hotdog doors”. Whenever we go to truck stops to do whatever it is we do there, we also buy lots of hotdogs. Sometimes hot, sometimes cold, it all depends on the altitude of your location. We would store said hotdogs in the…

American companies are too focused on process and not on results. My company adopted the Gimba Walks. Managers all wander around in a group and employees tell them how everything is going great using colored pencils. Managers get upset when the charts are colored properly and on time or when the people presenting is…

Toyota has a really cool manufacturing process and ethos, in general. I toured the Toyota Tundra plant here in Texas after I got my last contract with them, and it was such an eye-opening experience. Their assembly line has this thing called an “Andon Cable” and it’s basically this long rope that stretches the entire…

Toyota literally wrote the book on how to do modern manufacturing. But Obviously they had read Ender’s Game at some point

It has a matching boat for about 5 million with 12 of the motors in the car. It’s fast... For about 10 minutes.

I have seen a few go into limp or protect mode at the sand dunes. They eventually get going again after 20ish minutes of cooling off and sitting with their flashers on blocking a pathway. Who knows what long term damage ws done. All the while my friends are driving around in $500 rusted out 90's Chevy Blazer’s with…

I interned for Porsche R&D in Weissach the summer of 1997. While the other American intern got to analyze Excel files full of exhaust data, I worked in the “Finished Prototype Department,” basically the team of ~12 mechanics who would build and modify prototype, pre-production, and small volume production vehicles. It…

They could try lifting it and putting some black plastic cladding on the wheel wells, I hear that’s pretty popular.

In 2006 I lived in a condo complex that had a “no pickup trucks” rule. The parking lot was not small so it wasn’t a size issue, they just didn’t want semi-rural types living there, I guess. Of course I was unaware of this rule until I bought a 1969 Ford F100 with a 390 and Flowmasters. It sounded like John Force’s…

It’s mine! I just forgot where I parked it. Thanks to the authorities for finding it for me after all this time.

It’s like a deleted scene from Cast Away where Tom Hanks encounters the island’s other inhabitant.  

Postie can dream he’s rolling a TVR Speed 12.
