A backhoe can pull itself through mud with it’s wheels spinning the opposite direction. It can pick all 4 wheels off the ground.at These idiots didn’t recognize the situation and it looks like used the armto push themselves beyond the point where the hoe could get a bite of Earth. Basically they are in soup and can’t…

Shadenfreude fits my feelings

In the right hands, backhoe>tractor. The backhoe is likely only stuck because they are morons. I’ve dragged them across mud using the hoe with the wheels just spinning. They are difficult to really get stuck unless you keep going so far that the hoe loses all resistance in mud and can’t push itself. And even then you…

Hoa’s are special classes of corporations called a mutual benefit corporation, commonly called a non profit corporation. Special rules and purposes

If a company exists solely to produce a product, a full warehouse of unsold product is just as good as sold products. Claiming the goal is a product or profit is folly. They are dependent upon one another. Neither can happen for long withoutthe other.

That way he could pay a mortgage in gas bills

I suspect Jalopnik writer wages are low enough that a 21% tax rate could be a huge federal tax increase

I’m on the east coast and you can find one at every few Ford dealers lot new and maybe one used model. Larger dealerships might have 2-3 each. We wish we had held out for a model with a roof rack but otherwise love it. I wish I had pushed harder against getting a white one but my wife was ready to buy. Everybody who…

I’m jealous.

Good luck getting one for $20,000 without 80,000 miles and 3-4 years on it. At least in my area

The Ecoboost is tuned to run on 87,89,91,& 93 and anything between. Performance is slightly, but rarely cost effectively better in higher octanes. I run 87 in mine except when towing. I don’t need much performance on the average trip, but pulling up a mountain it does matter.

I had one for 7 years. 8' bed, 2wd, reg cab Silverado. Itwasn’t a problem so muchas an annoyance. The rear end ofthese trucks is so light unloaded that the additional resistance from making a moderate turn from a stop with very little throttle will cause moderate wheel spin on dry pavement. You get accustomed to it…

Now that sounds more like it!

You quit doing hay for a dislocated finger? Wuss. Lol. I nearly cut mine off on a trailer Jack as a teenager, looked at it, and figured I still had nine more and grabbed another Bale after a few minutes of eye watering pain. Farm life teaches pain tolerance. I’m routinely asked by my son where my latest boo boo came…

You haven’t driven a regular cab 2wd long bed have you. It basically hasnegative weight in the rear end. Fun when on purpose.

I agree but cars like the Ford flex and mini get it right imo.

Ford flex from several years back sayshi

I don’t coast in neutral, but I can’t fathom a scenario where I’d need to accelerate when going downhill to avoid a problem. On public highways accelerating out of a problem in general is an unlikely scenario.

Fuel injectors are turned off under deceleration if the vehicle computer determines that the rpms and ground speed are above a preset threshold. So, in such a scenario, the wheels are turning the transmission which is turning the engine unless in neutral. The engine acts in this case as a weak brakeon the cars…

I’ve thrown burning matches into buckets of gas. Showed a guy that one day and he was flabbergasted. Then I vigorously stirred it, left lots of headspace, put it outside and showed him the result. Bucket of fumes was more exciting.
