agree for the most part. But say EV/hybrid charging stations and adapters would be a case where cooperation and a standard would be ideal.

Compared to what, the for-profit healthcare system or the for-profit prison industry or the for-profit defense industry?

And from whence do you have this intimate knowledge of government institutions and NHTSA in particular? Better yet, do you even have a clue how many or how few employees at NHTSA are actually union employees? How about how many union employees work in defects investigation? Let me go out on a limb here and suggest you…

1st: Every so often, some of the NHTSA complaints will get released for the general public to read. By and large, they’re written by morons who barely have enough intelligence to continue taking in oxygen. These are not people from whom we should be taking safety advice. The answer is what it always will be in these…

Fuck you. Now I want one.

You also have to look at the actors separate from the quality of the movies. Some of the movies had shit for plot and it’s not really the Bond actor’s fault the movie bombed (I’m thinking Die Another Day). It’s no fault of Brosnan that some idiot put an ice palace in Iceland (really, that dumb) that gets melted by a…

0% deformation of the passenger area? What sorcery is this???

it’s their money, and their discretion on how they spend it. But it’s way premature to describe this as “better safety equipment” when you don’t know what it is or what it does.

You see, Mr. Chinese car maker, this is what you are up against, where safety is concerned.

Are you implying that due to the high scrap value of aluminum (versus typical steel body panels), that the pick-n-pull’s (or the first customer who gets there) will just scrap them for melt value, versus selling complete?

If so, consider this: If there were a shortage of F150 aluminum body panels, the market value of…

I don’t see this as being shady on Ford’s end. IIHS making some not-so-great assumptions to reduce tested vehicles. Not testing different trim levels is one thing, but I don’t understand why they thought they could claim similarity on a cab that’s visibly different from 30 ft away.

Please be on the lookout for my industry-shattering article about how some convertible models have additional frame bracing.

Breaking news: longer trucks have longer frames.

Doesn’t just pass it. Spooks it.

That was intentional.

Followed by a “See You There”? Oh yeah, that’s a big red, white and blue middle finger to the most annoying supercar builder on the planet.

I dont think you’re reading to much into that at all.

LOVED the touch by the very end, when the car passes a black stallion.

Weren’t they just paying a decent amount for a regular phone and plan, while also paying for a phone at home? Comes out at a rough wash if I remember past bills correctly.

And one bagpiper.
