There’s a puncher’s chance that we’ve already met, if you go to the games. Save for 2020, I have attended every single matchup between NU and Northwestern since NU joined the B1G and have enjoyed tailgating in Evanston. But we typically fly into MDW, stay in River North, and take the Purple line up... But if I could…

It is absolutely human nature, and I apologize for my transgression. Capitalism is the natural order of things. The laws of economics are right up there with the laws of physics. People can try to break them all they want, but they always prevail. Even when & where communism and socialism have been tried, market…

I wouldn’t take this on a super long trip but would 100% rock this as my tailgate rig. Just 45 miles from my place to Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, three hours to Arrowhead, <five hours to Kinnick, 7 hours to Ryan Field... This could be a match made in heaven.

I’m with you on the glass roof thing. Why would I want the sun beating down on my while I drive West on I80 on a 90 degree day?

Lane keep assist. Keeping one’s vehicle centered in one’s lane is not difficult. How about, instead of offering a crutch for distracted drivers, we give distracted driving laws some teeth and raise the bar for who we license to operate a motor vehicle?

I completely agree. The dealership in question is trash and the market will hopefully treat it as such. The author could have written what I just wrote full stop. Instead he chose to attack a pretty basic tenant of economics and human nature. What a bone head.

I’ll take, individual who needs to pick up a book one time in his life for $200, Alex

“The one fallacy of our capitalistic market system — one that enables and allows individuals to (bafflingly, at least to me) charge more for something that is in short supply — is the arbitrary notion of assigning value to goods,…

Well, the driver shortage is not total bullshit and it can’t be solved simply by improving logistics and raising wages. Like nurses and lab techs, there are not enough humans in the United States who are trained and willing to do the job. Wages can increase all the carriers want, and it still won’t solve the issue of…

IDK man, I’ve done engine mounts on three vehicles (all longitudinally mounted engines) and they were a relative cakewalk. Never even had a lift to do them on, either. All three times were in my driveway and took less than 90 minutes.

There are just too many cars that are better all arounders that I’d rather have for the same money. It’s a no from me, dog.

But the Mustang had torque and sound on its side.

You have kind of a point here, but when Tesla changes one very specific component midway through the model year and it makes an appreciable change in the characteristics of a vehicle, future buys will want to know if the vehicle they’re looking at was produced before or after that change.

Like queef horns or whatever tf Elons tweets about next week?

This stuff is going to start decreasing the resale values of Tesla vehicles. A consumer, in order to be informed about their used car purchase, will have to know the build date of their vehicle to find accurate specs. This tied with Tesla’s history of removing features that were already paid for once the vehicle…

I don’t think of VW as down market because of its history with the Beetle. I think of VW as down market because of the relative lack of reliability and the number of Volkswagens I’ve seen with all of the paint missing from most of their dash buttons. I’ve also noticed, back when I drove a a rental every week, that the…

A great percentage of new vehicle sales being luxury does not indicate simply “the rich get richer”. Kind of the opposite. And if you really want to use car prices as an indicator of wealth, which is a shite idea, then new non-luxury prices have skyrocketed which would indicate all ships rising with the tide.

Horns Down and Go Big Red!

I’d like to second the proposal that the car not sound like it has a shitty tune. I don’t need pops and crackles by way of dumping fuel. A good, steady engine note at a reasonable volume would be great.

I’m a Runza man. Anybody who hasn’t tried a Runza cheeseburger, should.

Yea, the Lariat wasn’t even an option for me, but I love leather seats so I’ll have a Katzkin interior installed.
I’m getting a Rapid Red XLT, only option box I checked is the tailgate step. Thought about getting the XL because I wanted more physical buttons but Didn’t love the look of the front without the full width…
