They do deserve better. This is a different take than I normally hear from Erik, though, who (90% sure it was him) said “...but it (UAW) is a union, which is inherently good....”
UAW must be a horrific mess if even Shilling isn’t giving them SOME props.

Hugs, kiddo.
Go be more of your best you.

Oh, how I long for the times when I just drive through underbrush that is strong enough to need to be pushed away from the the front of my truck whilst driving at speeds that it will not damage my truck or my brush guard!

I have never seen one of these with wilderness pinstriping, ever, so I feel confident that it is…

Damn.  That should say “...wasn’t having....”

Thank you, David.
I got through the first gear, realized I was having editorial opinion shoved at me, and quickly realized that the MS was written by either you or Tom.

I like that you save your cute observations for the pieces that directly relate to you, which is most of your articles, as you will probably die with a…

This is a similar take to Hammond’s review of the Aventador; it wasn’t properly a Lambo because it wasn’t sweetly whispering “I want to kill you to death” in your ear.
Which begs the question: Is 60k good for whatever this is? If you have supercar money, sure; go buy the Lambo. If you only have 60k, is this the best…

True.
I didn’t communicate very well there.  I did not mean to indicate that they were done facing them.

Yeah, I am about 80 cents per gallon diff for 93.  My 2012 Pathfinder calls for 91 OR 87, but with requisite decrease in spec.  Oddly enough, I can’t always get 91, but I can get 87, 87 without ethanol, 89, and 93 pretty easily, so I keep this weird running average in my head to keep it around 91.  If I end up with…

Statehouses, plain and simple.
Back in the ‘good old days’, the statehouse lawmaker would come back to the district, and he would get to ‘test drive’ a Cadillac for the weekend (or however the hell long he wanted to). Franchise laws for auto dealerships, pushed by the state dealership association lobbying arm, have…

The red flags are there, but I got the itch that this was being flipped. I can’t quantify why, but it feels like he paid 22 for it and decided to ask 29 and take 27.

1 year “Bumper to bumper”, excluding lawn and garden (they aren’t going to keep my grass alive if I don’t bother)
2 years on trades work.
10 years on foundation, settling, cracking.

I closed on the 13th.
It is a stick-built house in a subdivision where the contractors were encouraged to work as fast as possible so that the developer could clear more profit.
But I am okay with it. There was some urgency and a desire to get my kids to this school district. It is in the same school district as my mom,…

I have an angled roof that aligns within about 10 degrees of due south. I am only allowed (via HOA) to put it on the back roof, which is the correct side. I will cram every square inch of it with solar. I just don’t know how much power I use yet, as it is new construction.
My state is finally considering tax incentive…

What is your metric for efficient?
They are getting better all the time, I know, and I can get an array that makes more than I use, so I can top off a battery and feed back to the grid.

Neutral:
My wildest hope is that some thing that is already headed to a landfill could be a battery. The metal in aluminum, the leftover chicken carbonara, or something.

Well, then just starting with the frame would be a big savings.

It isn’t as if it would take more than about 11 seconds before the first message board shared a ‘how-to’ on doing a SAS from the Gladiator.

Follow along with me here...
Why not give it the solid-axle?

Neutral:
Yes? Ram is a separate entity, but I would agree with you.

There is a great book, called Taken for a Ride, that chronicles Daimler’s acquisition/merger (whatever you want to call it) of Chrysler.
Bob Eaton (CEO at the time) was already looking for partners then, foreseeing the excess manufacturing supply in the world.

One of his partnerships was to make the Mini engines at a…

I didn’t know I needed these.
That bad boy is, dare I say it? - somewhat arousing...
