4 door Porsches are for poseurs and sellouts. Fight me. 

Fuck. I usually check this site first thing in the morning and periodically throughout the day. Today was weird. No time to eat let alone check Jalopnik. Now I sit here with my favorite combo from my favorite Chinese place trying to read my favorite writer and I’ve completely lost my appetite. I’m pretty sure I’m…

As others have said, the hatch is all Escort. The grill looks like a Mazda part. 

Personally, I’ll kick anyone out of bed for eating crackers, or anything else. It’s just not civilized.

Do they ever test to the point of failure? I'd love to see that, not for any scientific reasons but just because it sounds freaking awesome...

Exactly. So it's not the "first" Z06. It's a preproduction mule or prototype.

What causes accidents isn’t speed per se, it’s differences in speed. Allowing you to go faster while everyone else has to go slower would bring vehicles into conflict with each other and make the problem worse. Besides, how would LE differentiate between the two? 

Wkth all of that said, if it was the first “production” Z06, it would be street legal, wouldn’t it?

Well, anywhere people live, they're all going to do laundry, constantly throughout the year. Farmers are confined to rural areas, and only use fertilizer at certain times of the year. Not sure how it balances in the long run though.

Dude, chill out. 80 percent of US power production is from burning fossil fuels. That’s just a fact. And EVs AREN’T going to magically solve climate change, and theres no research anywhere that says otherwise. Now you are going to comment something back, and it will likely be insulting because that’s the only way you…

No battery powered F150 is going to make diesels obsolete. Diesels go in big trucks. F150's are only big trucks to those who don’t drive trucks. 

I knew it! Well, I almost knew it. I figured it would sit for a couple years until you decided to put it in service as a winter beater. However, I do predict that by the end you will no longer not care about it all. You will fall in love with it, and respect it for soldiering on in the face of its own crapcan-ness.…

Sure, if it's just OBDII.  The issue is that Deere uses proprietary software, that they won't sell to the consumer or even to a third party repair shop. You've literally got to take it to Deere. Also, farmers don't "own" the tractor. They "own" the hardware and are "licensing" the (proprietary) software. 

I can't help but think that any manufacturer who built a tractor that used standard, automotive OBDII technology would make an absolute killing. 

Te parking brake thing, for sure. For 30+ years, I cannot shut off a car without hearing my grandfather say "your driveline isn't a goddamn kickstand!"

Yeah, I did. Nice little place on 3 acres in the middle of nowhere. The apartment suggestion was for the people pretending they enjoy homelessness.

Im impressed that you pulled such legit sounding arguments out of your ass. But Amazon pays their warehouse workers peanuts. $15 an hour with a 90 day break between? Yeah. They're living in a van for the same reason my 20 year old (an Amazon warehouse worker) still occupies my back bedroom. 

And keeping up a VW is super cheap. Buying them, not so much. 

Thats my whole point. It sounds like you were young when you had your bug. Young people are mainly concerned about fun, not reliability, or long term economics when it comes to maintenance. Sure a Bug is easy to work on. It better be. You have to adjust the valves every 5k, and if you don’t you’ll burn that #3 exhaust…

Oh are we swinging our dicks around now? You might make more, maybe. But when you're too old to live in a van, I'm pretty sure real estate will turn out to be the better investment. #homeless.
