I had a 2000 K3500 that was easy to get in and out of and I could actually reach into the bed without standing on the tire/running board/hitch. I don’t know why that can’t still be the case. I loved that truck, but the MPG was abysmal and I had no need for it after selling our boat, still wish I had had the means to…

While I do like trucks, I don’t ever plan on buying a pickup again (except maybe for an EV). I can fit more inside my Suburban with the seats out that a majority of modern trucks and a utility trailer is a cheap investment that can put your payload capacity above most trucks anyways.

Work fast and break things is an extremely efficient way to make huge development leaps. Unfortunately your line of work leads to a bit more collateral damage than a smoldering field.

They hardly have any oversite or documentation for their work. This is a good way to get from zero to 60 real fast, but in the long run, may be unsustainable. 

The biggest issue with autonomous isn’t getting better than the average driver...I wouldn’t be surprised if they are already close to or past it. The biggest issue will be who’s responsible in a crash. Is it the software developer? Is it the automaker? Is it the owner? This is probably the biggest reason the major…

Cadillac not building the Ciel

My dad has a 2001 Ram 2500 Cummins that he bought new. He only tows his camper in the summer with it. It has under 60k miles and has no rust. He has a standing offer to buy the truck from a local diesel shop that he’s had work done at. I’d bet he could get close to his purchase price if he sold it right now.

Why companies have such an issue putting their catalog easily accessible on the internet baffles me. I don’t know how many companies I’ve tried looking up their part on the website to find some more technical information on it, and they don’t even have the part number listed on their website. They just have a line…

Isn’t that just slammed and not stanced? In my head slammed meant lowered to the point the car is basically touching the ground. And stanced is a slammed car that ALSO has negative camber added to the wheels.

I think banning ICE only vehicles would be a great starting point. Electric or plug-in hybrid if you want to offer an ICE vehicle still.

I’m not saying they had it easy in totality, but they absolutely had more opportunity in the labor market available to them. 

That sounds like a good way into the n+1 trap. 

Though, there is a lot of truth to the argument that boomers had it easy. They grew up and made their money during a period of time when the US was the only economic and manufacturing powerhouse. Europe was in shambles from WWII and China/Asia wouldn’t become a manufacturing giant for another 30 years. For those that…

I was wondering about that bit if retirement age was a mandatory thing there.

Or cook it low and slow. We have cooked our turkey for 12+ hours the last few years and it comes out fantastic.

The return to center ones are dumb. I’ve only used the dial ones with different positions for each option.

Shifters that actually move give you physical confirmation that you are in the correct gear.

But I prefer a console mounted shifter

Why do manufacturers still insist on having gigantic shift levers taking up room in the center console? Why that trend started in the first place never made sense to me, the column shifters were perfectly fine and took up no real estate. But now that it’s all electric and no mechanical linkages, why do they still…

Yea, the background definitely looks way more like Ohio than San Francisco.
