Consider that you’re not Toyota, and you’re competing with Toyota. If you can now reduce your prices without decreasing your profits, and that decrease gives you an advantage over Toyota, then you are going to decrease your costs in an attempt to sell more cars and lure a few Toyota customers away.

This is simple…

Why??? No one is forcing anyone to buy from that manufacturer. If you don’t want to buy manufacturer-direct, you don’t have to...

You’re full of it, man. You want others to conform to your way of thinking, that’s all.

But you’re arguing that the law preventing the direct-sales-only model should be preserved. So you are arguing that others should have buy from dealers, which is you preferred method. You can’t say you want to allow others the choice while also saying you want to preserve laws that eliminate that choice.

They’ll have to compete if they want to sell products. They will either need to offer premium products, provide premium services/features, or cut prices.

Otherwise they won’t sell anything and they will go out of business.

That’s how market economics work.

Do you think it is not possible for manufactures to have SHOWCASES?

Think of things like electronics. You go to the store, they have a TV on the wall. you play with it, you look at it, etc. You like it. You take one a box from the rack below or the back home with you.

Also, Amazon, eBay (et. al.) show that you can sell…

No. Manufacturers already stock inventory. This has been in the news lately because of the chip shortages.

If manufacturers stocked MORE of the inventory, they’d need a bit more capital at first, but they’d find a balance soon. Also, they’d get far more reliable and accurate data on what customers actually want. Right…

This.

Jeep Grand Cherokee is the correct answer.

This is why you need to RTFM, make sure you use the correct grade of oil from a quality manufacturer, and you should always allow you vehicle to idle for a bit after startup so that things can get nice and lubed up before they start seeing any real loads.

Also, remember that your transmission’s oil is cold also, so…

Texas’ “castle doctrine” extends to all private property, so anywhere on your property is fair game for some pew-pews to be pewed if you feel threatened.

They also include your vehicle(s) and public spaces while directly transiting from private property to private property. (i.e. crossing a public road to go from your…

So you’ve only received a portion of the successful products and you make no mention of the unsuccessful ones. You see what you’ve admitted to, right???

And?

Do you want me or anyone else to be able to tell you what you can or cannot own/drive/like?

If you answer anything other than a resounding “yes”, stop being a hypocrite and grow up.

But, by that definition then, it is not above a Class 2 system.

No. You keep saying “better than average”. That’s not better than humans. That’s better than SOME humans. By definition, you’re advocating for at least half of population to become WORSE.

You’re chasing the least common denominator. That’s not a viable long-term approach. Over time, due to loss of experience/skill, the…

Wanna help me out since you got some love? Pro-tip, if you delete your “following” and “followers” lists, you grey yourself.

Additionally, aviation requires very-highly-trained operators to back up all the tech, and, by and large, have much longer periods of time to address/correct any issues that do occur.

You’re naïve.

Planes have redundant systems and everyone still wants a very-highly-trained and experienced person behind the controls in case the systems get it wrong.

We are far better removing all safety nets and investing in actual driver training (meaning vehicle dynamics and control, not the bullshit system we have…

Same here. These signals serve one purpose; to alert other driver’s of my intentions and to notify me of theirs. I want to see and recognize them as quickly and clearly as possible.

I actually installed a special “strobe” CHMSL (3 rapid flashes, then solid) on my truck after seeing it on some newer offerings, because…

You are so naive...

The world around you and everything you love and take advantage of is made possible by and with petroleum. Period. Get rid of it, and we’re back to killing whales & sheep, cutting down even more trees, everyone being in bed shortly after sundown, and no one venturing more than a few miles from their…

Revs/Mile is a terrible tire specification. It’s rounded to the nearest complete circumference, so it’s not really accurate.
