I’m nearing it. This place has gone so severely downhill in the past 3-4 years, I’ve gone from checking it 10-15 times per day and being active in the comments, to maybe checking it twice, and usually shaking my head at the lack of anything worthy of my time.

And stupidity. You know it’s a heavy vehicle, and you can tell from pictures the mud isn’t even remotely stable. Therefore, you should be able to realize that if you drive in there, you’re going to sink.

I’d like a talk with those folks, I’ll get 14 unloaded and on a good trip, under 10 while towing. I think they’re boasting a bit there.

So you took a vehicle designed for a pretty particular usage (open desert pre-running), then tried to use it for everything else (high altitude towing, narrow rocky trails), and are bitching about “bad” results? If you need to tow something and want mileage, get a diesel. It’s the trade off, lower $/gal on regular gas…

Same here.

Ja.

I don’t think they do. It’s been a lot of years since you could get an ergonomic keyboard. How do I know? I use one at work, and at home. I first noticed some wrist problem in the midst of my first 16-hours-a-day at a computer tax season. Switched to something built for heavy use, and haven’t had an issue since.

An attitude like that is probably why you’re a “former” employee. Get over yourself bro, they don’t owe you a damn thing, and you just look petty.

Mine is just one of many examples. Other than rust (which is any vehicle from the 80's), I’ve never heard of one single issue those trucks had.

My first vehicle was a 91. At nearly 300k, I wore through the cylinder into the water block, and even 10 years ago, it was hard to find a replacement motor. I still miss that thing and randomly think about buying another one.

More reliable? Says who? I got 280,000+ miles out of my 91 D21. In the entire time we had it, we had one clutch replacement, a harmonic balancer replacement, and a couple sets of tires. That’s it.

I quote those sketches on a very regular basis. Some of the funniest stuff that’s ever been on television.

Skip it, buy a power conditioner instead.

Nah, it’s fine. I’ve got one in my F250, and it functions fine (other than bad mpgs). If you want maximum power, get the diesel. For everyone else, that motor was fine, and could tow most anything you’d need.

You say that, but Monaco is probably the one place McLaren stands any chance at a great finish, simply because passing is so difficult. If the right strategy played out, they could find track position towards the front, and with Fernando’s driving, keep quite a few cars behind him. Any other track, the other cars…

Same with flights, they’ll probably get cheaper for a little bit.

They function really well, until a bad crash happens. These open vertically, imagine how difficult it would be to have the car split after a blown motor, it rotates on it’s side, and slides to rest against the wall with the cockpit wedged in, so the door can’t open. Then what?

If it was as easy as you seem to think, it would already have been done. There are massive technical challenges involved. Aside from fogging and oil/dirt build up on the windshield, crashes prevent the largest source of problems. There is the scenario where a car is upside down and on fire, rare: yes, not impossible.…

It’s not needed anymore. When mechanical typewriters came out, every character was spaced identically, and so to properly designate two sentences, you’d put in a double space. With computers, they automatically adjust character spacing by letter (I’s have a narrower character width than W’s, 1's vs 5, etc.), and you…

Sorry that you’re so wrong in your wrongy wrongness. That car is 80's beautiful!
