“Actually Tesla is still losing money on each vehicle, but makes it up in carbon offset credits it sells to traditional auto makers”.

I used to work at a company that supplied cable tie type fasteners to the big 3. I couldn’t believe how tight the ordering and shipping was. 

Don’t you think it’s a little ironic that dentists are so well represented in a group of people that are afraid of smiling?

“Stockman drove his custom Bronco for a while, averaging around 24 MPG, but scoring as high as 30 on the highway. That got him thinking: “Well shoot, if I can can get this kind of mileage out of an old IDI 7.3, what can I do out of a computerized one?”

You might want Google “crankcase explosions”. The big fellas have problems exclusive to size.

Any vehicle with a entertainment head that controls heater or any other functions locks you into an soon obsolete system with no update path. 

I believe I researched Janus and they use Chinese powerplants, please correct me if I am in error. I wouldn’t pay more than $2k for any ride with a Made in China motor.

They are nowhere as effective as hand soldering. Won’t work on anything other than clean copper.

Drunk driving laws should be proportionate to the potential damage. Unless you have a passenger, a motorcycle crash is likely only going to kill you. A motorized skateboard, even less dangerous to others. A loaded tractor trailer, maybe you should get serious jail time.

At 66, I have found melatonin and ibuprofen before bed to be helpful.

I am afraid the media does that by only giving press to the extremes.

Someone should take a fuel pump and hook it to a battery and let it run dry. I would be curious hold long before heat damage.

I realize there is a performance trade off but is it feasible to delete the VANOS at a cheaper price point? I have a F150 5.4 3v with VCT delete and was happy with price, performance and reliability. It was a few hundred cheaper to reprogram the PCU and lock the cam gears instead of replacing with the same defective…

Maybe Elon can have the techies program a noise above the human threshold to scare the critters away when you enter the car. 

So refreshing to hear that. Thinking about a Indian made bike, myself. 

Isn’t Chinese control of FCA something that is news worthy? Why haven’t I heard of that aspect until now?

I have been snow plowing for at least ten years, working for a landscaper in Massachusetts. The new trucks have terrible visibility with a plow mounted. We use GM trucks and our newest is 2018. Since 2000, it’s been a quest to keep up (with Dodge?), similar to fins on the rear quarter panels in my youth. The newer…

NP, but hopefully the new owner spends most of their time at sea level. The drop off in power is very noticeable in a NA diesel.
