Twenty years ago private pilots called their day trips to random airstrips the “$100 Hamburger” since that’s what it cost to fly, land, have lunch, then go home. I imagine it’s probably up to $300 by now.

Do they want to run this down the same assembly line where they build S-X or 3-Y? Or do they want to set up a line just to do trucks? I own a wonderful set of shop tools at home, but I don’t bring them to work.

GUUUUUUH I’m so tired of answering this question. The sources are not hard to find if you look.

LOL, okay, cam down.

II had a similar knee-jerk reaction. When I first saw it I thought “kill it with fire“ but the more I look at it the more I love it and at this point I need one in my driveway

Not an SUV, amen to that

Enough about the BMW X7, can we get back to the tractor now?

Aero doesn’t matter as much in AutoX, and they don’t often require tow hooks or ban fender flares. 🤷‍♂️

Considering we’re talking about China here, both certainly apply. The only benefit you need to keep Chinese slave labor from unionizing is the promise of a softer landing when they throw themselves out a window.

You can say that again...

Maybe trying to recreate this?
