reluctant CP. It is a nice truck given its age, and I do like that generation of F150. But it is still a 25 year old base model 6-cyl single cab F150 with 139K mi (at least it is 4X4 but other than that pretty basic), not exactly something “special” or exceptionally valuable, at $3K-$4K I’d consider it a definite NP,…

Agreed, as good of an engine as the 4.0L I6 is , the 2nd. gen (WJ) Grand Cherokee is a bit of a pig with 4WD variants weighing over 4,000lb. , compared to the ~3,600 lb. 1st. gen (ZJ) Grand Cherokee, or ~3,350 lb. XJ Cherokee (granted later Grand Cherokees were even heavier), making the 195HP/ 230 lb-Ft 4.0L I6 a bit…

“An abrupt braking action could send your ass straight over the windshield, especially on a tall bike like a BMW GS, only to get run over by your own bike. That’s a self-own, those are rare.”

“Racism, hate or intolerance have no place in our world including within the Harley-Davidson community” .... err.... is Harley really that deluded, they just described at least 50% of their customer base.

$6900 for a carbureted Sportster, and a 32 year old hacked up one at that, what have they been smoking?

“The idea is hardly novel—flat-folding seats have existed for many, many years”

So when do we get a Bronco “Juice” edition?

With over 2 million cases (officially, which we know is massively under counting them), there is little point in quarantining returning travelers even if they are coming from “hot spots”, as the virus is now so widespread they aren’t a significantly greater danger than the average person on the street.

An Italian (FCA) vehicle that catches fire, what else is new?

It even conveniently provides its own camp fire.

It is made in China by a German company (Getrag). All ford did was bolt it in the car (not saying they aren’t partially at fault by spec’ing the unit in the first place, but they didn’t build it). 

Agreed, I have no problem with peaceful protesters and fully support their right to assemble, but once it turns into a riot the cops can turn machine guns on than for all I case. At that point they are no longer people but deranged animals hell bent on destruction and violence and the no longer deserve any protection.

74hp.... My motorcycle has more than that (and it only weighs around 450 lbs.).

Worse yet, 2009 puts it in the Cerberus Chrysler era (07-09), the true “low point” in the history of the Chrysler corporation that makes either Daimler or Fiat look spectacular by comparison. These where the days of the “we’re going out of business anyway so who cares if the product is crap?” attitude at Chrysler…

The sticker on a base Yugo GV was $3,990 (Though I believe there were some promotions for $2,995) back in 1987, but that works out to around $9,000 (or $6,800 at the $2,995 price) today with inflation.

“Public Transportation” are you nuts? After all this no one who has a choice will get anywhere near the mobile petri-dishes (buses and trains) for years if ever. Not saying the overall premise of public transportation is a bad one but COVID-19 will to far more to discourage investment in public transportation than…

UP’s steam locomotives have all been converted to burn oil rather than coal. What is coming out of the stack is primarily steam not smoke.

Oh, I know how it works. And I know why it was done, none the less there are pros and cons to every decision and we’re now seeing one of the cons. This was bound to happen sooner or later, that is the problem with lean/just in time in any industry, it is fine most of the time but doesn’t allow for extra capacity for…

Not even close. I’m about the furthest thing from a Socialist. Simply pointing out that this is the ultimate end game of trying to run a health system with “just enough” capacity, it was bound to bite us sooner or later. MBAs run the healthcare industry these days and have tried to apply the same concepts from “Just…
