In Ford's defense, everyone in the enthusiast community knew the 5.0 and 3.7L were coming in the '11s before the '10s ever hit the lot. Doing even 5 minutes of research would have found that out.

if you bought an auto Corvette you can also turn in your man card as well.

There's so many ways I could scrape off the top in trucking without getting caught. Lumpers, the entire paperwork chain is fucked, with bogus repairs I could make a killing, there a few huge shippers who for some reason make it stupid easy to steal trailers. At one point a certain T/A in a certain city had 50 trailers…

Unfortunately it is hard to use that $5 tool on the interstate while driving which is where mine indicated a problem in time for me to get to a tire shop to find a bad cut in the tire. Had I waited until it got low enough for me to feel it, I might have been on the shoulder putting on the spare.

Now if it said "paid property taxes on a Jersey Shore house" then I'd suspect the theft was actually much larger than disclosed.

Chemtrails are the only acceptable reason to be in Lincoln, NE?

"The front blinkers are pretty much just cosmetic."

Agreed, automobiles are an expression of our freedom. Thank goodness we can still register classics/antiques the way we want 'em.

heck, after the first million, you'd think he might shoo away quietly...

awesome, I live for reading boring stats documents!

Of course they should. Without CAFE, everybody would be running 6 ton carbureted V8s that get 3MPG...

Can I say what I wish was mandated? Amber turn signals on all cars. I know that many people don't bother using them at all, but I find it easier to notice a turn signal/hazard lights when they are amber. It coincides with the use of flashing yellow traffic lights for warnings.

CAFE regs. The Government should not be dictating the kind of car that I drive. If the market wants fuel efficient cars then the market will demand them. All CAFE does is increase compliance costs and eliminate or make more expensive vehicles that consumers actually want.

I think in Europe they originally served a real purpose. My old Mercedes W123 had parking lights that you could choose which side to turn on, or do both. So if you parallel parked on the street, you'd turn on just the lights towards the street, to warn folks not to hit your car.

Not just uglified, but ruined the handling. In order to make sure the headlight height complied with US legislation, MG saved money and raised the suspension instead of redesigning the front. Cheap and effective, but essentially put the car on stilts.

It removes the need to have your headlights on full or (worse) reduced power at certain times, which these days seems to mean all the time. Plus new fancy cars have those irritating LED parking lights to warn you a douchebag is approaching.

Airbags. They seem to present as much of a risk as a benefit. Maybe not make them come out unless the force of the accident is extreme?

Unfortunately most new mainstream vehicles will never allow you to turn off TCS and SC completely. It will still be working behind the scenes.

The stupid auto seatbelts that were mandated for cars without airbags.

I think this is a well-balanced design. A bit familiar, seems to borrow proportions and stance from VW's offroaders (which is fine), while incorporating key language elements from the classic G (love the turn indicators). I believe it would make a good replacement for the GLK, the GL or the M class, three of the…
