^This guy gets it. Margins margins margins. Remember when the Maverick debuted with the hybrid for under $20k, but it’s $25k now? Remember when the base Bronco was under $30k, but now starts at $39k? The Bronco Raptor originally MSRP’d at $70k but now it’s $91k? That’s just straight up margin capture when they saw…

just look at all the price hikes every OEM has done over the last 3 years to cover input cost increases.

Well there’s only one year between 2009 and 2011, and it’s 2010.

And you could get the Raptor with an extended cab and smaller 5' bed to minimize wheelbase and maximize maneuverability. The normal F-150 extended cab was only available with the 6' bed.

It’s the other way around - the people in power fund this kind of “research” so to create narratives that get the common folk against any kind of change for the better.

I’ve seen it before. Non-union supervisors bitch and moan about how horrible the unions are and then when the union negotiates for a big fat raise, the supervisors also get a big fat raise to make sure they were still making more than the workers they supervised.

I have to assume they’re paid trolls that come into every EV thread and repeat the standard disinformation so many times that people start to believe it. I mean...no one would waste their own personal time to repeat the same three mistruths in every article on a green-leaning car blog, right? That’d be crazy, right?

Ultimate Adventure is similar - lots of road miles and lots of rock crawling. They don’t have the same type of points/competition, but a lot of the same principles are in place.

“If an establishment doesn’t allowing carrying, then only the criminals will be carrying there!”...is what I heard someone say in order to defend him carrying his gun into schools, restaurants, stadiums, etc.

Did the miss the part of the article where it happened in Hawaii, an isolated island in the middle of the ocean with extremely limited options for multiple criminal enterprises? Check any of the other comments.

The stolen cats aren’t being resold as replacement cats.

Try again.

It’s a shitty trend when it comes to BMWs though

Loved those but never got to own one. Word was they were a bit small and would be cramped for taller riders, but it wouldn’t have been any worse than my Ascot VT500.

I have a soft spot for the Honda Nighthawks.

The only shocker to me is that it wasn’t a Dodge Charger or Challenger doing the terrorism. Somehow Stellantis has managed a chokehold on a...certain type of buyer.

The Taurus SHO came with a 60 degree 32V V8, sounds like a normal V8.

Real boats can’t be towed by a 1/2 ton.

I don’t think “banning car passengers from using cell phones” is a hill you want to die on.
