Direct combat doesn’t mean crap. do you think the war in vietnam wouldn’t have been different if China didn’t have hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed in the north?

What’s your point? They had 300,000+ troops at their peak (probably more) and supplied ammunition, artillery and supplies. That’s twice the amount that the US had in Iraq at it’s peak and nobody would say that the US was never in Iraq.

Both but Vietnam was more recent

China basically “won” Vietnam by flooding it with soldiers and cheap equipment.

Yeah dude a front wheel drive torsion economy car is gonna be as good as a RWD Cadillac based on the next generation Alpha platform that underpins the Camaro ZL1

What’s with the users and harping all damn day about interiors? It’s fine. My friend has one, it’s extremely pleasant to drive.

I occasionally link up with some hardcore Jeep enthusiasts. They routinely buy these $40,000-$60,000 Jeeps and will add $20,000 in mods on top of them. The Jeep is their cheap hobby, they have trophy trucks, Baja race vehicles, prerunners, helicopters, jetboats, $100,000 diesel RV’s. The amount of money they spend is…

Depends on the kind of offroader you are. Most of the really hardcore offroad guys want manuals because of self-serviceability and just because they actually like them better.

I doubt anyone is leasing a diesel Wrangler. Diesel drivers tend to be enthusiasts/into diesel and I don’t know too many enthusiasts who lease offroad vehicles.

Yup, nobody has mentioned that Honda basically builds a similar (better arguably) bike nowadays - NC700X. Honda really, really wants mid-sized commuters to be a thing. I wish I lived in a world where lots more people rode for utility reasons.

Muscle cars bottomed out and just became “cars” at one point but Daytonas were never worthless

Also GMC’s typically are higher trim so they’re likely making MORE money by having the Sierra cannibalize sales.

A Prius V doesn’t need charging. It literally drives around like a gas vehicle. It charges the battery when you hit the brakes.

My HF doesn’t ever have individual sockets, just the kits that don’t usually go up that large and skip a bunch of sizes

Was just watching James May’s Cars of the People and he talked about Chrysler handing out jet cars as a consumer test and how that would never happen today in this age of customer liability.

Battery tech changes everyday so I might be wrong but I believe the pouch cells are semi-inferior to the regular laptop battery style that Tesla uses as well from a cooling/energy density standpoint.

Nobody is going to commute to work on a two stroke, they are terrible/unuseable on the road for anything longer than 10-15 minutes. Half, the comments on this site are complaining how “unliveable” the interior of a Chysler is, you think any significant number of people are going to ride a unrestricted dirt bike to…

On one hand I like clean air.

Could have bought a Harbor Freight drill for $17.99 and drilled a few holes in the airbox and saved yourself $2200.

Nobody cares Mazda PR guy
