As the the dumb asshole in a Mercedes G wagon that runs to the absolute last second and then forces my self on whatever poor unsuspecting bitch happens to be around when I need over I whole heartedly support the zipper merge. Ain’t nobody got time to sit in a line of traffic. More people need to know about this…

I was going to say just this. My mom has a 380sl that she’s had since the mid 80's and dad has a 20 year old Jag XK, but what they spend in property taxes every year is very nearly enough to buy a 458.

Weird, so youre saying that 99.99999% of them were converted to automatic when they were imported to the US?

How do you not get that joke?

Wait! Disney wants to take one of the most profitable things ever and make a TV show out of it??? Say it ain't so!

I can just imagine the car buying shenanigans you'll be getting into with Autotrader backing!

I think you mean it’s the most Texas thing ever!

Our trans have been fine through a lot of towing, but again we only drive them around 100k miles. The only issues we have had are elecronic bugs on a few luxury items on the Laramie Longhorn like push to start and proximity key have given us issues. The tradesman has been bulletproof but it doesn’t even have an…

I refuse to call them Ram, just like I refuse to call the Viper SRT. It's a Dodge Viper and a Dodge 2500

Allow me to elaborate: I’m not a fanboi for any engine. The F250 Platinum 7.3 was probably the best truck we’ve ever had. I truely miss it. The 6.0 was pure shit, it spent most of the first 4 months in the shop and then stranded us on a long haul to Kentucky, and we traded it in less than a year for a Chevy. We went…

Yeah the engines are fine, but there are many other things on a truck besides the engine, like the push button start which just went out last month and stranded the truck at a job site in the Georgia mountains where a tow truck could barely get to it.

We had the first year F150 ecoboost and traded it after a year when the transmission showed evidence of failing. Average economy was about 18 for the year.

That’s remarkable, well we are due for a couple of new trucks this year as our ‘14s are at or above 100k, so I guess we’ll check them out.

Nope that’s spot on. We averaged about 15mpg over the lifetime of our F250's. And that was across multiple generations: ‘02, ‘05, ‘06, ‘08, ‘10. We have a great relationship with our dealer and usually get a couple of days to test drive new trucks, and so I can verify there was no significant change in fuel economy…

Yes, power stroke is garbage

Dodge is where it’s at for fuel economy. Our family business exclusively uses 3/4 tons. When we have had ford’s we struggle to hit 15mpg combined. But dodge’s have never been below 18mpg combined. On long haul trips between Florida and Texas the dodge will do better pulling a trailer (16-17mpg) than a ford without a…

MiataMan, I love your screen name! Please tell me you’re a hair dresser too?? I love to see people openly embrace stereotypes.

“Insert seaman joke here”

He’s undoubtably got better lawyers since then

That's trump, not Bernie.
