People will argue to no end that premium doesn’t make a difference, but I’m with you on this one. My car runs like shit on lesser fuels than it does on the good stuff, 94 octane.

The original NSX was miles ahead of anything else at the time.

Considering Acura has had 1 brand specific engine (at least for the North American market) in the last 30 years, my money is also on the “Acura” V6 being a mild derivative of the Honda engine.

Subaru has been using the same platform for years and has had a “tuning” community for most of it. You shouldn’t be surprised when anything, particularly a new design, or one with less of a following, has less options.

What’s a hot spot? Windchills have been near -40 since Christmas, except for a couple of random days.

A regular cab half ton is probably within inches of the “new” Ranger.

My prediction is that for most people who would potentially be interested in one, they will be overpriced. So they’ll simply end up buying a used F150.

Part of the problem, at least with buying a small work truck is, the price is usually close to that of a similar half ton. So you might as well just buy a half ton and have the extra capacity if needed.

On a PC everything except for media, assuming no extra processing is added, will theoretically upscale as far as is supported by the software and hardware. So if you’re playing a game that supports 8K, you’ll see that resolution.

Theoretically, if the program, hardware and other software support it, a computer should be able to output it. Realistically, even high end hardware can barely run 4k @ 60hz across the board in games. For some reason computer monitors have also stayed fairly expensive compared to TVs.

If you know beforehand that you will be doing the seasonal changes yourself, a competent tire shop should be able to clone the TPMS IDs so this isn’t an issue. Although occasionally you may have to wait a few extra miles for a sensor to “wake up” without a TPMS tool.

Every make is different. Some TPMS resets are stupid easy, others require a pro grade scan tool.

It depends on how it’s specifically classified. I’ve known people that drive smaller trucks than the one in the video that fall into CDL range. The one in the video had airbrakes, so you would at least have needed an airbrake endorsement.

In some jurisdictions and depending on what classification the truck had, the driver may have far greater liability than a regularly licensed driver operating their car.

Driving a commercial truck, similar to the one in the video but 13'-6" tall, this is my biggest fear. Being “that guy” on the news that hits a bridge.

Americans don’t like to leave America because they can’t take their guns with them.

Also in Canada you can pay a premium for faster service.

Large dealer group I worked for paid the advisers a zero, nadda, nothing on warranty work. They literally volunteered their time on warranty claims.

I don’t think many people realize how much weight the service advisor carries in this case. They can both easily sway the tech to adjust their right up and push the warranty clerk to let it through. The only way I’ve ever saw corporate involved was when the customer had approached them, usually after the claim had
