So, umm, what are they going to do with those Gladiators now?

I’m a short (5'5") guy who drives a Ram 1500, and I’ve had no problem seeing over the steering wheel.

Climbing in can be a challenge because I don’t have running boards, and also I’m fat.

I’ve got the perfect sport for her:

I’m mad that Dodge never sold the post-’93 Ramcharger that they sold in Mexico here.

I’m mad that companies don’t offer more and more exciting colors for cars. And fake woodgrain. But not on the same car.

I’m mad that Dodge stopped making the Ram C/V, the cargo van version of the Caravan, which is the perfect size in…

And the people who write about trucks really hate trucks. 

Vehicle design cycles take years, from idea to design to testing to getting federal approvals and building. FCA was planning this way before anyone had any idea what COVID was, and while I’m sure they would prefer not to be releasing it in a global pandemic either, but they might as well try to make as much back as…

They are partly the post office.  FedEx or UPS delivers it to the closest post office, and they handle the “last mile” delivery to your house, since they are going there anyway.   But since it’s the cheapest method, it gets delivered when they have time/room, not as soon as it hits the post office. 

Not really.  Very few private businesses have pensions anymore, they instead contribute to tax-advantaged retirement accounts like 401k’s.   So instead of having to figure out how to pay you $x a year for retirement, they give you $y now and you have to figure it out. 

Badging them as Dodges also gave Dodge dealers a van to sell as a replacement for the 20-something-year-old Ram that it replaced.  And Freightliner gave it a dealer network that already had a built-in buyer base for commercial vehicles - hey, you can buy your vans and your box trucks from the same guy and get them…

It also cuts down in theft, because if there is one out there in private hands it’s obviously stolen.

Really? You are suggesting that instead of buying a compact SUV, they should buy a Chinese low speed vehicle that can’t be driven legally (or safely) on the interstate, or a 25 year old limited edition JDM vehicle with the steering wheel on the wrong side and no domestic dealer support? That’s not realistic for anyone…

Back in 2017, I went from Baltimore to Las Vegas and back. I did I-70 going and I-40 to I-81 coming back. Honestly, the best part of it was seeing landscapes I hadn’t seen before - it was my first time driving past Indiana. Rocky mountains, desert, etc.

I also saved all my dashcam footage and got my resident video…

If you are using the vehicle for business there are tax advantages to doing a lease over a purchase - with a lease, you deduct the full lease payment, with a purchase you get depreciation, which is typically over a longer period.

(Note that I am not a tax professional and this is not legal advice.  Don’t make…

If the ad uses the word “kindly” it’s probably a scam. 

Yeah, as a bright color enthusiast (and the owner of a Hills Green Ram 1500), the one big advantage I could see about direct sales is moving away from buying cars off the dealer lot and more custom orders.  Which would allow more options, especially for things like colors.  Yes, I know you can do custom orders, but…

Part of the reason for the high MSRP and discounts is for financing people with bad credit, especially if they are trading in a car they are upside down on. Banks won’t finance over MSRP, but they will finance MSRP. So you can offset your $5000 in negative equity on your old Dodge Journey with the $5000 discounts and…

I took a couple road trips this year to pick up inventory for my eBay business. There are definitely a few things I miss, like being able to eat in a restaurant or unwind at a bar at the end of the night. Most hotels aren’t serving breakfast, and they’ve taken the pens out of the room which I usually steal.

As far as…

Touching surfaces doesn’t seem to be a major spreader of COVID, airborn is a much bigger risk. Hence the emphasis on masks and social distancing.

Washing your hands is certainly a good idea for other reasons, like other diseases that do spread via surfaces. Or poop. But washing your hands in the bathroom and…

I wonder if some of it was because she was going out of the country. 

We had some of those lampshade G4 iMacs like Torch references at work, and after a few years the arm would sag and refuse to stay up.

Also, small LCD touchscreens are really really cheap these days.  It probably costs less to put a second one in than to make a swivel setup.
