I’m just over here wondering why Chris Thile on the mandolin isn’t the one with the spotlight on him. This guy clearly doesn’t want it, and by listening to him, doesn’t deserve it. Shine the light on a real musician that wants to perform. 

Just a word of advice, the finance guy who will try to sell you the extended warranty is usually the same person you will need to sign all of the paperwork with.

Unless the PTO option is available now, the Roxor is still just too big/heavy/slow/unsafe for me to consider dropping $18k on it. You can buy a Ranger if you want a far superior UTV, or you can buy a CJ-5 if you want a far superior road legal machine. The Roxor sits in this no-mans-land of making absolutely no sense. 

I work for a company out of SoCal. I can tell you, the only thing keeping California together is the “California state of mind”. It’s a superiority complex. They think they pay a premium to enjoy the California life. Real estate prices are low in the midwest because no one wants to live there. 

It might be anecdotal, but I live in Kansas and work remotely for a company out of Riverside County. It’s a small business, maybe 20 employees.

The US Navy would probably disagree. 

The spinning tubes (Flettner Rotors) work using the Magnus Effect, which is a practical application of the Bernoulli Principle. A low pressure zone is created on the side of the spinning cylinder that the Magnus Force is present, resulting in a small amount of “free thrust” for a shipping vessel.

There is an interesting thing happening in the STOL/Bush pilot community. There have been significant advances in the capability and affordability of “off field capable” general aviation aircraft. The traditional “bush flying” of up north has become much more attainable to the amateur.

Two can play that game. 

I think that would the weirdest flex of all the weird flexes. 

Rear drivers side, and our is FWD so there were no axles involved. It was insanely simple to fix. I had to pull off the whole knuckle to be able to hammer out the hub assembly, but it was maybe an hour job tops. 

Same. Our 2015 Titanium has been a workhorse for our small family with no issues except a wheel bearing. I still think it’s one of the most attractively designed mid-size sedans ever, which is an odd thing to say.

“recirculated air” - yeah, recirculated through MERV 17 HEPA filters.

Contributing factors are also lack of signage, or lack of adherence to signage on rural roads. You also have 18 wheelers being driven by very inexperienced operators who usually only dust off their CDL for harvest.

Call me a luddite, but I just don’t see it being possible for me personally to go fully EV until you can replenish 100% of your range in ~15 minutes.

As a 2015 Fusion owner, I took one look inside the new Ranger and couldn’t get past the fact it’s just a Fusion with a bed. Literally. I bet 99% of the interior parts are shared between the Fusion and Ranger. The Fusion is an excellent mid-size sedan and I don’t expect it to have a huge interior.

Galvanic corrosion has been engineered out of the equation by Ford through electrocoating all body panels for electrical and physical isolation. They also coat all fasteners and heavily use adhesives for panel fitment.

There is a huge difference between “oxidation” and body panels falling off from rust. Aluminum will oxidize, sure, but it will never oxidize to the point of seeing a hole through the bed side. Aluminum will stay structurally sound when oxidized, and it will stop oxidizing once the surface is covered. It doesn’t keep…

2015+ F-150's are fully aluminum except for steel frames.
