I didn’t originally comment on this QOTD because I didn’t think I had anything... but most of these answers seem tame. A cloverleaf? Okay.

Every time someone at work brings up cost reductions, reduced inventory, and Just In Time production I always roll my eyes and sigh.

1983.

Way back in 2019 when my wife was pregnant and we found out the gender of the small human growing in her we struggled with how best to disseminate that information to the masses. 

I learned on a VW powered Sandrail when I was 13. I don’t know how but I just took to it like a duck to water... it was a little jerky and sloppy at first but I didn’t stall it. I was not helped by the fact that I couldn’t reach the pedals all the way so I had to push the clutch down with my toes. I still needed…

I had a 2000 Nissan Maxima with nearly 200k miles.

One of many (and I do mean many) useless facts that I know:

I went through the salvage title process when my wife wrecked her car about 2 years ago.

I would like to point out this mistake:

Please tell me that you will be towing this thing back home with a loaner electric pickup, like the Rivian, Hummer, Ford F-150 electric... 

I honestly don’t know why Tesla has ignored that whole segment this long. They could have easily sold the USPS a fleet of electric vans. And since their whole skateboard is swappable they could just take the clownshoe shaped Model X body off and swap on a Van body.... instead of focusing on things like having it be…

I don’t know about ALL electric, at least right away. I don’t foresee the military being keen on converting a HEMTT to all electric. I do see that having hybrid strike vehicles could be an advantage... imagine driving through the war zone under diesel power, then being able to sneak up on the enemy under near silent el…

I take issue with the fact that didn’t use the best 7 series... the true OG ... the E23. 

Funny... the other day I was shocked to find out that they still make the 300.

I, for one, like CarMax.

Having spent 6 months waiting for a legal opinion on who is responsible if a company sells a tool used to calibrate sensors, and we train a service guy to repair the tool if it gets damaged, and if we send the service guy to a customer to repair it, and they repair it incorrectly, and them repairing it incorrectly…

As someone who somehow ended up in a position where I now work daily with tools used to calibrate Drivers Aid sensors...

I look forward to this series of articles.

As a Chicagoland native I took my drivers test in 4 inches of snow in a 1982 BMW 733i with no ABS. They said “Are you sure you want to take the test in this weather? FYI if you slide once you fail”.

It’s truly a sad day when BMWs current design direction makes the Bangle Era look almost acceptable.
