I know... it would would be ridiculous...

Hey, those have been prepped for David Tracy.

Because no one here owns one.

*screams internally* Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck. Somehow I blotted that hunk of shit 6.4L diesel out. We had an 08 F-350 with that fucking hunk of shit in it and somehow the fucking thing squeaked past lemon laws. I think over the years we had it in the fleet we probably spent as much fixing that pile of shit as we did…

It’s ok though, ice floats ;)

You’d need a different ECU to run it as a 6 speed too.  Could it be a lexus versus toyota thing?

Why the anger comrade? I’m fully supporting ending policing. If police ain’t gonna police why would they need cars? Seems like a waste of money that could be better spent on removing street signs and traffic lights.  

Why the anger comrade? I’m fully behind your anarchy plans. You've convinced me. Butterflies and unicorns will once again spread freely across this great land. 

Welcome at last, comrade.

City bus cost: $250k. The chassis are expected to last 12-20 years, engines about the same.

You can think all that... but you’d be misguided. Fuel economy is at most 1mpg off of a sedan. Storage space is comparable, if not better, and it’s more usable, since loading kids/stuff is easier in a CUV. Handling? Nobody is taking a Murano to a track day. The handling constraints of a modern daily driver spec car…

I think Toyota and Dodge are competing for the slowest model update frequency. The charger is a key player in that battle. Toyota’s sticking with the 12 year old 4Runner still running a 5 speed from the 90s (literally it’s still the same one introduced in the 90s). I think it’s a battle of who blinks first. I can’t…

My 300,000 mile 05 f150 5.4

Buses, garbage trucks, fire engines and snow plows don’t run 24-hours a day. Not saying others don’t need replacement too, but as a former municipal treasurer, I can tell you cop cars get more wear than any other vehicles owned by local governments. It’s not just the mileage either. Cop cars are often idling when…

Not sure where you live. My fire department gets anything they want anytime they want. That’s why fire trucks are $$. They could be far cheaper if for departments had meaningful budget constraints and had to choose off the shelf models. Instead they custom design then one at a time. And in my state public teachers get…

Actually the Charger still sells about 60K units a year, and since the tooling was amortized probably 10 years ago, it’s basically a money printing machine for Stellantis.

“to their detractors”

Did you read the article or just skip it to post that?

That was really well written. Thank you.
