I haven’t been following the Max debacle but among my friend that do fly it, none of them are worried, they had the proper training prior to the aircraft and now have again been trained with an additional simulator session for the specific issue

The point of at least 50% of Morning Shifts (and damn near 100% of Orlove’s) seems to be designed to have some combination of thinking the whole world is like Brooklyn, and shaming people who have the audacity not to agree with that.

That’s just Raph’s shtick. He’s the journalistic embodiment of “If you can’t get attention by doing something well, you can still get attention by doing it badly.”

“I often spend a few idle minutes wondering what America would look like if air travel went back to being ridiculously expensive and we all just drove to Wally World instead of flying to Hawaii.” 

Confession: At the time, I really liked the Mercury Cougar from the early 2000s.

Chevy has one EV vehicle right now? And it has a stop sale on it for catching on fire right? They should be commended for trying but this statement feels a little overoptimistic on GM.

I just have a hard time with the $143,000 price point. It’s worth every penny of $80,000, and that’s a fair price.

The right thing to do, obviously, is re-nationalize GM. All right, I don’t know how that would help in this case in particular, I just feel like it would.

My take is a lot of those 2020 stimulus checks found their way into the hands of motorbike/powersports dealers. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad, but I am convinced 1) Americans are terrible at personal finance, and B) motorcycles are a fucking awesome antidote to this stupid pandemic.

I bet you can get the username “Idiot who sold 6.2 Raptor”

Not a horror movie but its still a damn good advertisement. The Raptor is the only truck ive ever been interested in buying and that is still the case. What a beast. Its comical to see how fast that thing can go in desert terrain compared to what i drive. If i were dumber w/my money id absolutely buy one. 

Sounds like a neat fantasy, but that thing’s almost level with the parking lot. This looks more like someone was told to move their shitbox or it was just abandoned. After numerous times of having to clear snow around the shitbox  with a huge loader, the operator finally looked at this thing, let out a huge sigh, said…

So if Ford didn’t have those “one-time charges”, they’d have made $1.8 billion this year?

I guess you could go with more modern seats, with a period correct fabric and skip that hideous dash though.

Carrying over the yellow on white motif to the seats and the really bad wood trim wasn’t strictly necessary, however. 

Are you talking fit/finish of the interior, or styling? Styling wise I can’t stand Mopar interiors, so goddamn busy.

Jalopnik: V8 Cadillacs are bad and they should be making EV SUV’s instead.

Bit of a missed opportunity for a PowerBoost hybrid Raptor imo, if only to prove the durability of the tech to sell more normal F-150s with that powertrain.

Coil sprung rear? Hell yeah!
