Bob, do you own a BMW? You haven’t mentioned it before.

Navistar was the Death Star for diesel technology in general and for IH Diesel engines particular. 

Running Waze on the nav screen is pretty handy.

Because technology never improves. Now, you kids, get off my lawn.  

“To a lesser extent, probably the idea of weight impacting the driving feel.” This illustrates resistance to change well - opposition based upon a vague idea of something intangible. 

3rd - What was the strategic plan behind ReachNow / Share Now? The service was available in two NW cities where I work, and it was awesome.

How does one write about cars and not be familiar with BMW’s stalk functions? It is a feature that has been constant for at least 3 generations (e, f & g). Is this still an automotive site? 

I know! Why couldn’t DIA just do something in beige? Maybe hang a nice water color outside Chef Jimmy’s and not do anything interesting. And what’s with people listening to edgy music? All public spaces should be exclusively to Kenny G.
