I work for an automotive OEM and sometimes attend future vehicle clinics. Basically we hide all the badging on the cars in the study including our future vehicle, and then bring in consumers to rate pretty much everything. Some of the consumers come back for focus groups. I don’t run the groups but get to observe…

No one buys those, so do they really count?

Definitely better than whatever the hell this shit is:

No EPA ratings, not a half-ton truck.

I believe that is called a 5/8 Ton.

Tom, now I’m taking personal offense to your posts. I hereby challenge you to a dual! Step outside, mister!

I want to tell her to calm down but then I think about the seething existential rage I experience at people that walk three wide in hallways and amble, or left lane hogs, or people that take too long to use the sugar/cream station at Starbucks, or people that forgot the form at the Post Office, or try and get on the…

Haha! Only a Jeep guy could call a blown motor a feature :)

Things have come a remarkably long way in the last 5-6 years

Who the fuck is buying 70k trucks?! I would love to see the average loan term on one of these....has to be close to 7 years, with a massive percentage of buyers defaulting. I can’t even look at the price of an F150 without gagging.

What professional would show up to the office in something this ridiculous?

It’s hideous. Sorry. Too much going on and insanely boy-racer.

Ball joints and wheel bearings are absolutely considered normal maintenance.

As luck would have it, the hydrant went dry. The hose went limp from the lack of pressure. The firefighters looked at each other in dismay, for there was nothing more that could be done.

I don’t think anyone buying these behemoths are all that concerned about fuel economy.

You’re missing low flying pelicans, pokemon go, inaccurate tire pressure gauges, and showing off for the kids who are filming you leave Cars & Coffee.

There is “heading in general direction” and then there is “driving at them down a residential road”

I don't understand why people are blaming tesla. Autopilot didn't kill him, his inability to look where he was going did.
