Follow the rules at all costs then?   I assume that you would be the one to stay in your lane because the car traveling at you in the wrong direction is breaking the rules?

I guess it’s too much to expect that people be intelligent enough to know when to bend the rules a bit?  Even if she didn’t go through proper process it seems like either they are power tripping are not smart enough to know when to be diplomatic and flexible.

Yeah, you are right. ALL the concrete contractors I know are driving 1/2 ton top spec short bed trucks. The best thing for concrete, because you know it is light weight and clean to work with.

Contractors hauling mulch and utility trailers are not pushing these sales numbers, that is a joke. And the ones that are doing it to any real scale have some sort of dump body because pickup trucks are a crap thing for that purpose.

Farmers don’t represent that large of a portion of the population- and because farms have been consolidating for years, this number is shrinking. Most of them use larger trucks anyway and even the small organic kale producing farms use vans or box trucks for most jobs.

We were waiting out better incentives before this all started. Incentives are certainly getting better, with loans especially. Price incentives for what we are looking at haven’t changed that much and I think they will, especially for 2019 leftovers, so we didn’t bite yet.

This is part one of the series at Jalopnik.

Mississippi has a 40% obesity rate. 2nd or 3rd state in heart disease and diabetes. And a governor that thinks that it’s more important to work than to try to separate.

Look up the stats on those conditions and get back to me.   It won’t take as much to have a big impact.

As a gun owner, there is huge population of gun fruitcakes that go and buy up everything every time there is economic or social issue stirring. It’s not proof, it’s just sad. And it’s been happening for many years. Never mind that most of them aren’t skilled in any way and even if they were, they wouldn’t last but a…

Look, I love cars.  But cars in dense cities fucking suck. It’s not a black and white issue.

Not if you remove the inside handle first and call it weight savings.

I currently have a VR6 and a fairly recent 2.0t. The 2.0t is a great motor, the grunt is especially great for just getting around day to day. Better, especially in an enthusiast sense? Not in my opinion. It’s just too plain, even if it performs very well.

200?  That number has been much closer to 500 a day the last few days.

About 20% of people need hospital care. This extends well down into the younger age groups.

Ok, let Audi keep their 5 and just VR6 the thing again.   It’s what the people really want anyway.

Previous comment which was supposed to say they aren’t stashing money.   And pretty much all my comments...

And why is that?  

Power is certainly what you need, the mass misunderstanding of HP and torque drives me nuts too. 

Yup. This matters more than you think for the vast majority of drivers who don’t wind out their cars.

I don’t know about that. I know of a lot of successful small and medium businesses that would be nowhere without financial support.
