Jeep needs to make a two door gladiator. I did not read the article because I think a chassis cab where the chassis part is all of 3 feet long is utterly useless. It’s basically a choose your own adventure minivan. Put a dump bed in the back for your half yard of mulch. Put toolboxes enough to carry a Stanley home…

I had a great uncle that was a judge. I forget what kind, but he mostly handled big corporate stuff like this. I remember him telling me once that about 90% of his career could have been better handled if he’d been allowed to use a spray bottle and just spritz claimants in the face while saying “no, bad.”

The 2020 VW Harlequin Golf.

I like how we’re glossing over the fact that this thing was built in 11 goddamn weeks. Imagine building a project car in 2 1/2 months, let alone a house sized behemoth.

So the obvious answer is doing a shifter the GM or Ram way, but no, can’t go validating other brands. Also, it being motorized is a disaster waiting to happen, they could have achieved the same thing mechanically. Also Also, have you ever seen a work truck? Both of those cup holders will be filled, and there’ll be…

It's both that safety is less of a concern and the larger size allows for some acceptable crumple zone usually below the driver

I was there too once.

Thank you for just putting the pictures in and not using that awful gallery mode.

The throttle on an automatic is and has largely always been a one input operation. Flooring it means you will accelerate fully to the speed limited by ether mechanically or electronically. There is no “shift” in that input system.

The weirdest thing Ive run across was a rather smart idea in a Chevy Sonic. It had a CVT…

Shift points on CVT’s are completely unnecessary. From an engineering point of view the Throttle pedal (input) is used solely to demand torque from the engine. It does not control engine load or engine RPM, those are things that vary and will be affected by the demand for torque. You may think about this logically,…

Only in Nord America.. I’ve yet to see shared lights elsewhere in the world

Also, pet peeve:

You can build them onsite, but it takes longer and costs more because you have to deal with environmentals (Weather, Traffic, Traveling Workforce). If you can overcome the logistics of transporting the product to the jobsite, building it at a factory can be much better overall.

> that’s nuts.
I see what you did.

I’m more surprised they did it in middle of the day tbh. I’ve been a trucker myself and most of my friends still are. I still haven’t seen or heard about anyone doing this kind of work during the day irl. My driving happened mostly during the night and most of the traffic I encountered were these huge loads.

If there was ever a use case for Superman - this would be a great fit.

This option is available for all Ram trucks rented at Denver international airport.

I think you are spot on with your comments. Seems to me that HD didn’t take the time to understand customers. They just thought that their customers might be afraid to tip over at slow speeds and that is significantly hurting businiess.

Fair enough.

Triumph GT6 springs to mind as an example (hardtop version of the Spitfire).
