Ya, it’s someone’s onanizing concept; nothing more 260Z than laying claim to formerly being one. The “patriot”-izing scheme has long since crossed the finish line for practically requiring social derision. Seriously, a lot of people have an unhealthy obsession with flying the country’s flag and colors any chance they…

There is a sub-culture of idiots that cream over trucks like this for one thing and one thing only: “there ain’t no DPF crap on those trucks!”

You’re thinking of the one used in the 2005-2010 Dodge Charger and Magnum. The outside is very much Saturn Ion though, yes.

It may be a garbage placement for a screen that’s supposed to be useful, but 2 decades later it doesn’t matter because all that *does* matter for people chasing these oddities as collectibles is that you have one with literally everything on it.

Honestly, given the dominance of the Big 3 in the commercial space, the fact that I see Nissan NV vans pretty much every time I drive around town tells me they’ve been pretty successful. Especially given the fact that their largest offering is in the traditional American van form factor rather than the European one.…

Can we as a nation just start calling these displays what they are? Religion in the form of hyper-nationalist, jingoistic isolationism.

I thought that was the path from Shmuck a L’orange’s colon into the brains of his sycophants.

Unfortunately we’ll only know if they’re actually in those death throes if they get trounced this November and in 2024. Since neither of those potential outcomes should ever be taken as a foregone conclusion, I suggest everyone vote their asses off.

Being asked to act like grown-ass adults.

He doesn’t use Google because these mental cases think Google is part of the Big Tech - Deep State pipeline. While that’s not necessarily wrong per se, it is in the way they think about it...as they use their Google-based, very trackable smartphones to search the Web for all the latest COVID conspiracies involving the…

They don’t need a good reason, it’s only about grabbing news cycles to push Fascism.

That and I don’t think that, as stupid as these things are, much is being interrupted at 11:57 at night. In my part of the States the intersection/on-road burnouts tend to be hit-n-run affairs done at 2 in the morning and not in front of lanes of rush hour traffic. Spending police resources to enact a bust and roundup…

I’d love a world where cops are hired/fired on the basis of character and not because they’re a warm body that can drive a car and operate a light bar.

Eh, less of a concern because contractor trailers are going to range between 1500 and 3500 lbs and loaded they will be another ton or so, which is within the rated capability of most versions of an E-150 of nearly any year in the last 25.

Well ya, moving just itself and 2 people on the highway at or slightly above the speed limit 21 MPG is not surprising.

Umm, as a diesel owner I’d have to see video of a diesel towing and only losing 1-2 MPG. They do lose fewer MPGs towing, but they *do not* get in the teens unless you’re towing very light, and even then it would have to be along mostly 0 grades.

Why would you want some detailing lackey - even if you paid $500 for the service - spraying random non-engine chemicals all over the inside of your engine bay? Particularly one housing a relatively modern diesel? Engine cleaning can be a sketchy proposition if care is not taken.

The 6.0 is nothing in upkeep compared to the 6.4. The 6.4 is considered a throwaway engine. The 6.0's problems *are* bulletproof-able and plenty of aftermarket companies have stuff to make that engine regularly reliable. A friend of mine with an 05 6.0 Excursion has made most of those changes and had no issues. (I know…

Ford and GM did not “refuse” to make them. This is 2005, 2 years before GM and DaimlerChrysler needed a buyout. These trucks stopped due to the coming emissions regs, and because people even in the heyday of the Hummer H2 decided sub-14 MPG trucks were hitting their wallet too often.

Oh. You’re one of *those* commenters...
