To clarify petejayhawk’s comment: parking a car in the city can cost a few hundred dollars a month, easily.

It was a 2003. i don’t know what trim. It was blue. Awful. I went to carmax to get an xterra, but they had sold out of them that morning, so I got that. Ugh.

Can they do an Escape Raptor? That’d be fun. But that’d price it out of the intended market..

(a) Agreed with others here, congrats on the wife. She seems rather concerned with either your happiness or just the same stuff you are. Works out well either way.

I read it as saying that F-150 is so undervalued as part of the business that it alone is worth 1.35x the current market cap of all of Ford. It could mean that some parts of Ford are negative value (looking at you Lincoln, and at you new-Eco-wtf-ugly-thing), but doesn’t necessarily mean that.

I can imagine seeing, and subscribing to, a site where David does nothing all day, every day, but video-blogging fixes to Jeeps.

Probably not, but God Bless You for asking.

Is there another place that the actual mileage is accumulated, that can be checked against for the 500km limit? Or is it just the odometer that you can repeatedly reset?

Shouldn’t they also be reducing the accident rate?

So grown-up software organizations will roll out updates to a small ‘canary’ group first, see how that went, and then slowly roll out updates to other cars in waves, to make sure they can hear back about problems *before* sending it out to more cars.

Yeah, that STX with the maroon stripes and bull bar is damn fine looking.

So when driving around, does everyone have to be buckled in somewhere, or can you take a nap or hang out on the couch?

The pump system could be driven by the motor. In diesels, this could be the only EMP-survivable blinker system in the world. We need this.

Cats. I fish for cats. Usually with a feather on a fishing-style rod.

DeVille loves Cadillacs. News at 11 :-)

I think when the prices are nearly level (with Caddy slightly less, which is important here), you get into subjective qualities quickly. I think Mercedes have been hideous for 15+ yrs, and the latest gen or so of BMW reminds me too much of Hondas. These are completely subjective statements, given. But they affect my…
