I wonder how many Tacoma buyers are just people who regularly need to haul shit, but don’t need or want the size/power of the F-150. Whenever I see an F-150 in the affluent city I live in, it’s a spotless crew cab some clown can’t street park. Whenever I see a Tacoma it’s got the bed covered or a bunch of tools in the…

Shame on you for putting yourself before your cats needs.

Long-time Tacoma owner here. I have a 1996 Tacoma. The little 2Wd version no longer made.

Smaller towns still have them, a legacy of when the Big 3 were the only game in town.

I am not sure that what America really needs is more people at work in factory jobs, but I’m also not exactly sure our economy is set up for any alternative.

I’ve been watching some classic Motor Week episodes on Youtube lately, and the price you could get heavy duty trucks and full size SUVs in the early 90s was insane.

Why do people act so surprised that america has high demand for cars?  It’s literally the only consistent way to get around our country. 

It’s nice to see more obscure Group B rally cars. 

The lynchpin for Uber’s success as a disrupter for taxi services (an industry begging for disruption) was having a maverick CEO who’s antics could distract investors from their need to be in the black right now. Companies who’s product are the future need to be ran by those myth-makers like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs…

Neutral: I gotta go with the Colorado River Irrigation Company, land developers who wanted to irrigate a bunch of land in the Coachella Valley in California by diverting the Colorado River through a series of canals. In 1905, the Colorado flooded and overwhelmed the canals and over the next 18 months, water spilled…

Here’s the thing: when your country’s safety net has become the charitable whims of a very wealthy few, there’s not a lot to celebrate about this story.

They got the idea from someone else.

ford is probably going to be launching the “bronco” as a standalone brand like “Jeep” this is just my speculation at least. 

I don’t think this should be called a Bronco. The “Sport” moniker sounds like a trim level when it is actually a completely different vehicle.

Neutral: I’ve detailed all cars in preparation for winter, my lawn has been cleaned up, and my christmas lights are strung. My skis are waxed and my snow tires are ready to install. Winter is one of my favorite seasons, it only sucks if you don’t try your best to make it better. Go outside and enjoy the winter. Go for…

Seriously. Did “siding with the Trump administration on emission standards” actually mean something? Do we really think working on more efficient ICE’s and EV’s wasn’t still part of GM’s long term plan even with Trump in office? This is just good business practice. 

First Gear:

1st Gear: I think we can cut Mary Barra some slack here. Her job is to advocate for what’s good for GM, period. She is going to saddle up with whoever is in office out of sheer pragmatism.

They are often in unison when discussing where the power for EVs originates.

As a mechanical engineer, it never ceases to amaze me what we are able to engineer together. This is one of the most metal things I’ve ever seen.
