Bruh you got like fifty posts under this article alone. Get a job. 

Also, when it doesn’t rain for a long time, oil and gunk build up on the roads.

yeah, where I grew up and went to college, they used rock salt all over the place. When we got a big snow, the roads would start off looking like something below, but rapidly go to just wet looking as the salt melted the snow and formed a brine (like the pictures above). Normally by the next morning the roads would be…

The Bolt is a fly on the windscreen of GM production.

Add to it that no one in the South has winter tires (why would they, it rarely ever gets cold enough for Winter tires to be the better option.) and driving in these conditions is extremely hazardous.

Growing up in Atlanta we’d typically get one of these a year. You’re right that the main issue is for too many people, as soon as they feel themselves sliding they put a second foot on the brake, expecting a better outcome. Watching the slow-motion train wreck of cars gliding into each other is pretty entertaining…

Southern winter weather is rare and if you know what you are doing isn’t that hard to drive in. One problem is that because it is rare, it doesn’t make sense to have winter tires, but I’ve driven in all-seasons in nasty weather and gotten around eventually.

Really because the temperature ranges for grade 3 and 4 of AEC-Q200 is -40c to either 85c or 105c (221f). Those are grades for passenger compartments. Not the engine compartment. Engine compartments have to work up to 125c (257f)

I assure you that the interior of any car gets quite hot in Arizona in August... that’s where the MCU, stack, screens and drivers all live.

Second law cleanly applied to the slant six. My man.

You would think with Ford dumping nearly the entire car portion of their lineup, they could find room for both this AND the explorer. The most iconic 4x4s in NA are the Wrangler and the 4Runner. Ford made a competitor for one, why not the other? Seems like low hanging fruit and a pretty low risk. 

There are some hints at the first-gen Bronco, but I grew up with second and third gen, and CUCV’s, which this looks nothing like.

I was off the mark with the G-wagon though. Doing some more digging it looks more like the newer Landrover Defender than a G-wagon. 

Too bad this wasn’t the new Explorer. While the new Explorer is nice, this would be way cooler. 

Bluetooth jammer? (mostly not serious but if you're really paranoid and don't mind using a headphone jack or USB-C cable on your phone while in the car.) 

You did the conversion to your brother’s (your? I’m out of the loop) Mustang, are you planning to do so on this? Please do

’67!

When I was in high school, were were at the school library. I ripped one of the security tags from a book and slipped it into this kids backpack. So when he left the alarms went off. For some reason the librarians were incensed. “Where’s the book?!?” They searched him and his bag for like 5 minutes. It was amazing.

as opposed to having paper copies of my medical records sitting in filing cabinets and being faxed around by people?

That you live your life like a homeless man, despite being decidedly not homeless?

Probably true, but you can’t tell me that, by the end of that article^, you weren’t at least almost agreeing with the absolutely absurd idea that maybe a rusty Valiant is a better winter car than a freaking Toyota Land Cruiser. Think about the skill needed to bend your mind to that extent.
