My 2020 Lariat has a column shifter.  Sometimes I need the 6th seat and have a kiddo sit in the middle of the front bench.  SUPER handy when relatives come visit and we don’t have to take 2 cars.

MG / MGB - Tiny, light British sports car that are unreliable but very fun to drive when they work (at least in my and my friends and family’s experience.)  Pretty cheap as far as classics go, especially with a dead dying motor.

Absolutely loved the first two games on the Xbox 360 back in the day.  Dangerously Underrated is right!

Once the carb is cleaned out and rebuilt, build a phenolic spacer, tune it a bit rich and find an ethanol free gas pump. That is, if you keep the mechanical fuel pump. With all three of those, I was able to keep our ‘66 idling during last year’s dream cruise. Otherwise it’ll boil the fuel and lean out.

Not quite that simple. The cash burn doesn’t stop simply because production stops, or even if all employees were furloughed w/o pay. Depreciation, interest, healthcare and pension costs, rent/taxes, software licensing, infrastructure costs ... all still need to be paid.

Companies that do not pay dividends generally do stock buybacks to increase shareholder value. Shareholders are are called shareholders because they are buying a “share” in the companies profits. Returning that profit to shareholders is really only done in either dividend disbursements or capital appreciation. 

It is interesting to watch. But we actually do need a significantly larger amount of food in the house at this point. Simply because my family of 4 will be eating 3 meals a day there 7 days a week instead of 1-2. Generally we go out to eat a couple times a week and lunch is always at school or work.

Boils down to how long the batteries last and how long you can either source new ones or effectively refurbish old ones. The electric motors should last a good long while, few moving parts, low friction etc. The batteries are the question.

A bit ingenuous as they are really complaining about the DRM that Deere put on the machines. A OBD2 reader does make some things much easier on a new car vs an old car though.

I have a similar situation. Could potentially swing it though as our trip is 500 one-way and we generally stop for fuel/food once about 1/2 way. When we stop we actually go in and eat, so if I could quick charge and get another 300 miles in 1/2hr I’d theoretically be good.

Someone in Boba’s armor was in the background when he was getting his pauldron forged ...

Uh no.  It’s 5 years after the fall of the Empire.  The Clone Wars were like 20-30 years before this if I was guessing. 

Just thinking about it from a data standpoint ... would be hard to find a variable upon which to base who is the most sickly given that we don’t have a sick-o-meter on our foreheads. Amount of care one has received seems a decent metric, but it does make the mistake you mentioned where received != needed.

I want to know where this would fit in the current DSLR lineup breakdown.

Cut her in half and count the rings. Only way to know for sure.

Fuel economy standards are tricky in that they impose a behavioral change that customers just don’t want. There were car’s int eh 80's and 90's that got tremendous mileage ... but in no way shape or form could pass safety and likely emissions regulations today.

There just needs to be 1 standard. Too difficult to build cars for each state’s specific standard. Ideally, there would be 1 global standard that would meet people’s needs.

One reason could be that that right now good benefits is a great retention tool without inflating wages. Really big employers probably get really big discounts and can offer more to employees who may be able to make more elsewhere. To be honest, it probably makes good employees less likely to even look outside.

Planning on taking my car over and cruise a lap. Better tonight or early tomrrow?  (I imagine tomorrow afternoon/evening will be a mess)

I’m pretty sure your BEV won’t use much while ... cough ... idling
