When you pay an extra 30% for the tickets, it will feel even more premium!

Every merger statement: “This will benefit customers.”

Well, when two trucks love each other very much...

Yeah, I’m 42 and I think, since the time I made it to the “make stupid purchasing decisions solo” age, I’ve only had one auto loan over 5%, and that was almost 20 years ago.  

Ding, ding ding, we have a winner! It’s mostly not the trucks, it’s all the idiots on the road driving cars that make them feel invincible, AND in many cases are hard to see out of to start with, and they are all fucking with their phones and infotainment systems. As one who is travelling all over the country all the…

The phasing out of American Cab Over to conventional really started big in 1982 when regulations changed to specify allowable length to be the trailer, not trailer + tractor/cab. Conventional cabs are roomier, different work on, etc.

Also cabovers are preferred as EU length restrictions include the tractor, while North America only considers trailer length. 

The ride is apparently worse in the cabover versions as well leading to more driver fatigue and/or health issues.

This, right here! Though I don’t drive semi/trailer trucks I do have a lot of friends that do. They are always complaining about idiots cutting them off last second, dealing with road raging idiots who think break checking a semi is a bright idea. Word to the wise, it isn’t!

As much as we want to put the blame on…

Conventional trucks are generally cheaper to build and service than their cabover counterparts.  Cabovers are shorter and appeal to tight quarters which is why they are popular in the EU.

It’s nice to cite trucks as the reason for the increase but I have to believe the increase of idiots in cars is as much of a contributing factor as the trucks themselves are.

Why’s the North American trucking industry insists on using semis with long noses instead over cabovers like in europe ?

I can’t get over the fact that someone got halfway through this and then saw it through. How would you not stop and ask yourself what the fuck you’re doing at the midway point? It somehow manages to be well-executed and absolutely terrible at the same time.

Go Bots, that is definitely Go Bots level of animation.

It looks like it’s from the old Transformers cartoon, but one where it was in a mass shot and they weren’t really trying.

I find it’s better to think of it as how much interest you’re paying over the term of the loan, not based on what you’re paying monthly.

0% isn’t a thing, but a lot of manufacturers are offering under 3% financing as incentives...

While some brands may “offer” 0% APR usually the terms are for 24-36 months and they know that very few consumers actually take loans for 2-3 years. If someone wants a 60 or 72 month term the APR cranks up. This allows a brand to advertise a 0% offering even though most people can’t take advantage of it. 

I don’t think he can outbid an insurance company in bribes lobbying fees.

Honestly I’m just kind of done with Fatalities at this point. They were shocking way back when they first appeared and them being secrets added a layer of allure.
