For an alternate take (with NSFW language):

My 1990. The last vehicle I bought new. It had 249,xxx on it and the motor and tranny had never been opened up. It was still running strong when I got rid of her in March because honestly I was tired of all the little things that needed to be worked on. 25 years is a good run. One day I’ll regret not keeping her…

Believe it or not, the work rules can be even more painful. It’s one thing to pay a guy a lot if they are skilled and work efficiently, but if you pay them a lot and the rules make them inefficient that is another. I’m not talking rules for safety here - most of them are job protection rules. Two examples :

Actually you’re forgetting the A#1 reason they do it: Maximum profits for the upper upper management, the CEO, and the top stockbrokers. People who aren’t like you or I or 99.99% of Jalop readers, as in, the 1%. As in, they could keep jobs in the US, people who may be your neighbors, in your community, shop at stores…

Goal posts: Nikki’s videos are no LESS harmful to female identity than Taylor’s. The former portrays a sexy woman as incomplete without a big fat ass. The latter simply portrays a slim body type in the video. Neither have anything to say about ‘average’ body types, about how women don’t need to fall into either…

You guys realize you’re defending and fighting for commercialized corporate top-40 bullshit music right? It’s the McDonalds of the music world.

Nikki’s music celebrates nothing but a woman’s fat ass. Glorifying a slim body, or a curvy one, you’re still compartmentalizing woman. Nikki GTFO your high horse. Your music is nothing but “look at my fat ass” and is no more meaningful than any of Taylor’s tripe.

I love them both. Zero fucks given. That being said I want Trek back on TV, so it can give us different, deeper stories each week instead of being forced into the action movie mould. But as slick eye candy entertainment, nuTrek on the big screen is a delight.

I’ve never understood the UAW pay scale. A guy fresh on the job makes exactly the same as a guy that’s been there for 25 years. What happened to merit raises and all that jazz?

“4th Gear: The Tacoma Comes With A GoPro Mount”

1st gear. GM and FCA merger would be conveninet for the NHTSA since they would only have to call congressional hearings to discuss recalls, or rather lack thereof, for one company, not two.

“Ok … well … How much farther are you going?”

Cut my finger?

BMWs do not have turn signals, never seen them light up if they did lol

Interestingly, it seems that unlike most luxury competitors, Tesla doesn’t offer any kind of fake leather for their cars.

RE Neutral: Better driver’s training.

I missed where it caused a problem...your whole response is kind of blowing things way out of proportion.

I don't see what the problem is.

"you created an idiot proof system that actually is creating problems for good drivers?! "
