The Ford Vulcan V6. Simple, reliable, easy to repair and maintain, used companywide for over twenty years. Cars, trucks, vans. A little basic care and it'll last forever.

Am I a fan of the automated driving aids promised on the Edge Concept? No, not really, although even I'll admit the remote parking feature is a neat trick. But when we start to see high-end stuff like this on humble Ford crossover vehicles, I think it's proof that these kinds of technologies really are the future.

Amen, brother. I'm so tall, my knees dig into the back of the seat in front of me even without them reclining. If they recline, or try to recline, it is a direct assault on my kneecaps. If they persist, I will inform them that I am sorry, but they cannot recline their seat while I am sitting behind them. If they still…

I'm tall-ish, but by no means unusually so. A fraction of an inch under 6 feet. I have yet to sit in a coach seat on a plane without having my knees in the back of the seat in front of me, even when it's fully upright. That means that the person in front of me can't recline. I'm not trying to be a dick about it,…

Fair enough. I'll be the first to admit that I can be passive aggressive, which is why I let my knees block people from reclining rather than speaking to them.

You're not tall, are you ?

Being Gerard Depardieu

The seatback thing is the only thing I care about. I'm 6'4", and on Delta that means about .5" of legroom (fly Sun Airways instead, since Delta's merger Sun is friendlier, cheaper and, most importantly, has an inch or two more of leg room). When someone leans their seat back, I WILL ask them to kindly put it up again.…

In the real world, missaccounting for leases and preorders results in big financial penalties. That is why GAAP accounting matters.

From a building cars perspective, they're probably doing things about as correctly as they can. From a business perspective, they're shady and spend a lot of time trying to confuse the truth behind anything with a $ sign. Remember their marketing plan of "buy a Tesla for only $600/mo" or whatever that was a bunch of…

preorders and accounting tomfoolery.

1st - Tesla overhyped?

Now he doesn't have to make that daily commute to work. he lives there!

And sticking together empty words into throw away sentences with no evidence to back them up is exactly what got the GOP into the position it is in today, a splintered and increasingly marginalized group that has the self awareness of a toddler.

My girlfriend(who is in her 40s) works fora tiny publishing company that doesn't offer health care. We have not been able to afford to add her to my insurance because it would cost $and extra $7280/year($606.67/month) we don't have. Under the health insurance exchanges set up under the affordable care act she will be…

Repubs just need to get over it. Obamacare passed in House and Senate, and the Executive signed it. The Supreme Court then affirmed it. That's all 3 branches of government that gave it the OK. As for using the debt ceiling as a negotiating tool, it's not up for negotiation. These are debts that have been incurred,…

If you didn't watch Breaking Bad yet, well, this isn't a spoiler.
