What a TERRIBLE color combination! Why would you mix pearl white with silver?!?

It completely ruins the truck.

Also, PDI guys, please take the damn blue coating off the RWLs.

Feel free to come check out my Ram at any time. I’ve got 191K on it and it’s still got all the production inspection marks on it. It’s only ever had oil changes, trans fluid changes, plugs, air filter recharges, suspension greasing, tires, one set of brake pads, and an upper control arm replaced out of caution because…

The 300S is certainly an option. That’s a nice-looking but fun car. If you like the overall design of the Charger, but want to stand out a bit less, the 300S is the car for you. It only stands out when you want it to...

The 5.7L is definitely cheaper to operate and maintain, but the 6.4L is equally reliable. The 6.4L…

Yes? I don’t know one person who doesn’t like the seats (well, except for you now).

Then again, every L-car we’ve been in/owned has had the heavily bolstered performance seats, not the standard seats that (I believe?) are found in the base models.

I love those seats! (5'11", 235# - could definitely stand to lose some…

He says “a hybrid MIGHT be cool, but don’t know if they are speedy....”

He’s driving 20 minutes to work. Probably less than 10 miles each way. He can put up with a little worse fuel efficiency to gain a LOT more fun.

Can confirm. Only Mopars in this family, and the “quality” concerns are almost always due to operator error, rather than faulty components/designs.

Another little secret to that most people don’t realize, there are only so many Teir 1 auto suppliers out there... A vast majority of components utilized are not designed…

The only reason this stupid rumor persists is because Toyota has done a VERY, VERY GOOD JOB at convincing it’s naive owners that excessively preventative maintenance is “normal” and including dealer service contracts to cover these repairs with every purchase.

In automotive use, it’s from the early-70s Mopars. “Scat” was used more in terms of “going [away] quickly” in that case, but this definition isn’t far off from even greater historical useage. The 1st definition for “scat” is “to go/leave”. (The 3rd definition is for shitting. ;) )

The obvious answer is obvious:

You’re looking for a Dodge Charger R/T, preferably one with the Road & Track package (An “R/T R/T”, really.)

You don’t need the Scat Pack, the R/T will be plenty sporty for you having come from a Camry. With the 5.7L, the maintenance costs will be lower, and these L-cars are extremely…

While the current design is iconic (and may have served a tactical purpose), it is a bit odd that our plane is colored more like the Argentinean flag than our own...

Same here, fellow enginerd (M[ech].E., myself)... Especially with regards that last quip about “manipulation.”

AI, or rather people’s misguided trust in it, scares the snot out of me. Our whole society will become HIGHLY VULNERABLE to all sorts of attacks if the general population puts their faith in a bit of coding...…

Who’s pulling back? Even the largest movements have a very small initial starting point, not that what is referenced in that article is small at all.

Did you notice this?

Precisely! Prior to that time, most people did not travel far at all. Those that did either did so at great expense, over great durations, and/or to destinations readily accessible by other forms of transportation.

Prior to the car, the vast majority of the population wouldn’t have traveled far enough to go from one…

Yes, but an standard vehicle can be driven WITHOUT roads (especially is it is a properly equipped vehicle).

You’re right, the government already has a LOT of control and power, but that does NOT mean we should so freely hand them even more.

What happens when we learn that these nannies are INCREASING HUMAN ERROR? Driver skills are plummeting already, and low-class AVs are only going to make that worse. I would bet we’ll see a ban on partial AVs in the near future. It will either be a Class V or nothing...

If you think AVs are being pushed on us for our…

But we are not close! They leap from Class II to Class V is like the leap from the Wright Brothers to the F-35 (or higher even)!

Excellent rebuttal, sir!

“Chemtrails” as the internet thinks of them are not real.

Exactly. “For your safety, this area is temporarily restricted.” “For your safety, please remain in your homes.” “For your safety, you can only visit a fast food joint/bar/whatever 1 time per week.” “For your safety, we have diverted you to a new destination...” Etc., etc.

It is all 100% possible with that type of…
