“And, for the YouTubers who will eventually buy these wrecked on Copart, there’s now a new challenge: Who can build the first two-door Bronco Raptor?”

Always sounded a bit like an inside job. There’s a train that tends to park right across the road I need to use to get to work. In the 10 minutes that train is parked, if I ran out and opened a 2-3 containers, I’m sure I would find a life time supply of pencil sharpeners, an assload of laxatives, a couple reams of…

It’s less of a list and more of a bottomless scroll.

Hey, guy from 2012, buy some Apple stock and bitcoin!

furiously nodding.

according to Ford’s own website, step-vans are a prime candidate

Because that appears to be entirely drive by wire, you could move that driver’s seat to almost anywhere with minimal effort.

Steering wheel, instrument panel, and pedals would all need to come back, but it shouldn’t be that difficult.

Before you demand someone do better, learn what a direct quote is.

You’re not thinking this through all the way. Imagine all of the cars were using this at some point. It will stop drunk cops, that person you took video of that you were certain was drunk but was actually just playing Wordle on their phone, actual drunks, grandma who can’t see completely over the dash so she drives…

Wait. So a shady tow operator is in cahoots with some rogue cops?

I like controls like that. Keep it simple for the simpletons like me. Now let’s marvel at the peak 1970's color on this example from Wikipedia:

I can’t because I’d be a hypocrite, or more so

When the survival of a municipality depends on pilfering its own citizens through traffic stops, code violations and the like, it is a sign that it is time to fold operations become unincorporated. I’d be willing to bet the majority of the budget goes to paying salaries and there are crumbs left for anything else.

Send out checks to everyone—more money supply—so there’s less value. And we get inflation—only an idiot couldn’t see that effect coming.

18-20 year olds are able to carry guns and shoot people in far off lands. Hell, they can drive tanks and even semi-trucks there too! I’m not sure why this is perceived as being so dangerous. As long as they receive adequate training/certification, why is a 21 year old safe, but a 20 year old not?

Not as familiar with Indian products, but in my experience Chinese products are exactly as good as you pay for, but they don’t seem to have a floor. Other places will say no if you severely lowball, lots of Chinese factories instead go “yeah sure, we can built that” and you will get some serious garbage.

Ugh. Trunk spoilers on four door sedans. Just stop.

That’s unfortunate. I was looking forward to big weird ridiculously boxy trucks.

I am intrigued what the reasoning is that the other shops won’t touch the car. The Prius is old enough that workshop procedures and wiring diagrams should be easy to get for any competent auto shop. The high voltage system can easily be depowered for safe working (like less than 5 minutes). Are they just so incompetent…
