Until the last ten or fifteen years, none of the American brands had notable quality, let alone stellar ratings. GM certainly was no paragon of virtue (hello ignition switch). Ford was a laughing stock 15 years ago.

So weird ... I bought the exact edition you use in your lede image about a month ago.

Terrell, when you posted your “here I am” message the other day, you sounded like an intelligent and knowledgeable fellow who was in possession of critical intellectual faculties with the ability to discuss important matters in a thoughtful and analytical manner.

I’ve only ever seen buses do that in So. Cal., not trucks.

Every car that stays on their lot racks up storage fees and interest for the dealership.

In what universe does physical buttons and an actual wired-to-the-base handset equal “hands free”?

I would imagine that it is body on frame, but the the body itself is effectively one unit ... the bed is not separate from the cab based on the pictures / renderings above. But the Avalanche was body on frame too. It’s not about the frame, it’s about the long sheets of metal that comprise the body being stiffer at one…

I’d rather see it without the buttresses.

The dairy market is full of ups and downs, cost of feed, machinery, maintenance of animals & gear, veterinary care, etc. etc. etc. are costs that a dairy farmer has to take into account when considering to grow or reduce a herd. If someone comes along and offers above market price for his cows, and he’s not doing so…

Eyephones make up about 2/5ths of the smartphone devices in the wild. A patent for software on an Apple device wouldn’t be relevant to software for Android or Windows or other OSes. And holding a patent on one software implementation does not in any way shape or form prevent development of other solutions.

Based on many analyses I’ve read over the years, what you describe is overly simplistic and generally not a realistic depiction of reality.

I have a vague recollection of it being used that way ... I have a fuzzy memory of seeing an old mechanical adding machine (for the youngers: a physical calculator that did not have a display nor use any electricity) with a key marked # and my parental units had to explain what it meant ;-) ... fwiw, I’m on the AARP…

would be the only people who know what we’re referring to

So why not just vent the trailer?

If you made it legal to run a U-Haul storage unit like you run an apartment guess which way apartment quality would head.

trucks and SUVs that consumers are now buying are frankly overkill for the act of transportation

#6: Edge doesn’t support Disconnect. Using Edge opens you up to all kinds of spam and advertiser trackers and other garbage.

So the “read it later” function is downloading the whole page? How does it differentiate garbage from the meat? I mean, MOST web pages nowadays have fucking advertising and spamlinks interspersed throughout as well as surrounding any “content” that a normal human being would be interested in.

Kids recognise quality

In high school I discovered that a 72 Plymouth Duster with a slant six could go at least 105 (indicated).
