Your trip will only end poorly... Unless this is your support vehicle, driven by the guys pictured.

No amount of lights or bright colors matter when the person hitting you has a cell phone glued to their face. I have recent first hand experience with that.

The complaints about ergonomics, work/life balance and culture do not surprise me at all. Tesla started small then grew real fast. A company cannot grow like that without pain. Jobs that were ergonomically acceptable at a slow pace become man eaters at a fast pace. I just hope they have teams dedicated to

Left or right testicle?

I was living in Detroit in 2003 and had to go home to Western MA for a wedding. I decided that I would take the train overnight rather than drive so I would have some hope of getting sleep that weekend.

I couldn’t agree more with this. Because of the new heavy truck emissions standards, at least two US diesel engine manufacturers have left or mostly left the on the road engine market. CAT stopped on the road engines before 2010 hit. The few engines International builds now have Cummins emissions equipment on them.

Neutral;

Speaking of legendary Chrysler reliability, I saw a Dodge Intrepid in the wild a few days ago. It was broken down on the side of the road.

I did the same when I was doing a clutch job and a lot of other random maintenance/repair work on my Subaru. Half came from RockAuto, the other half from Amazon.

They just need to be proactive about it. The company I work for automatically deletes all emails older than 3 years. All in the name of “data storage constraints”. Should be entertaining if we are ever sued and the lawyers can’t find any old emails.

Same in my area. I live in Tulsa and was watching Live PD this past Friday. The Tulsa officers mentioned the dramatic increase in car thefts during the most recent cold snap, mostly attributed to being left running unattended. They had a lengthy list of cars to look out for. A stolen car was pulled over recovered

If I had to pay for the replacement, it would have stayed broken.

I agree with that list except for the heated steering wheel. Not worth the money to replace when it burns out. Over $400 for a new steering wheel on a 2011 Kia Optima. Fortunately, it broke while barely under warranty.

I would be happy if I could just get a full sized 4x4, regular cab 8' bed truck with 7.5k-10k pound towing capacity for sub $25k MSRP.

10 years from now we will not even be able to fathom how we lived without Alexa/Cortana/Siri. Much like the internet in the early 90's and smart cell phones in the early 2000's, voice activated tech become part of daily life and the expected norm.

I also live in Oklahoma (Tulsa). When I lived in areas that got snow on a regular basis, I spent a lot of time looking for all season tires that had good winter weather capabilities. Now, I just make sure I find all seasons that wont get me stuck on flat, level ground with 1" of snow. Any more accumulation than

If you are standing on the roof of their indoor facility, looking across I-15, You will see the Bellagio.

And at some facilities, getting the “fast” kart. Some places are pretty good about keeping their equipment equal. Some don’t even try.

Did try they reversing the polarity of the transmission buffers? That gets the Enterprise moving every time.
