Bingo! Sort of related, but I find it hilarious that all the tech startups do their autonomous testing in places like Arizona where the roads are perfect, whereas Ford and GM are doing their testing at U-Mich and MSU.

“It’s... touching...”

Oh that’s good. And the world can always use more Tony Shaloub.

Neutral: The Ghosn movie would probably be excllent. The real question is: Who plays Carlos Ghosn? My money is on Oliver Platt but Ghosn probably expects it to be Brad Pitt or something.

Indeed, it was a good truck save for that. Every mechanic told us the same thing: “Look man, it’s gonna keep doing that, but it’ll keep doing it for 150k miles, if not further.”

It’s so frustrating because it happens on every level In the UAW. Whether its a high-ranking official, an abusive plant supervisor, or a line worker who regularly shows up high, the union protects them.

Thank God I’m not the only one who saw this. That thing gave me an aneurysm.

Current employee of an IBEW contractor in an *extremely* union state and and I mostly agree. I would just amend this to ways.

Hell yeah, my dad had that in his ‘08. Outrageous they never bothered to fix that thing for being in production that long. The best part was the entirely separate clunk that would develop at highway speed around the 70k-mile-mark any time you put the engine under significant load while staying in the overdrive gear.…

Haha, what year? Is it an ‘06-’12' with that clunky transmission?

As they should!

And yet, the express continues...

*extremely black eyed peas voice* We so 2000-and-LATE

1st Gear: 50$ says the Japanese government got this idea from watching The Sopranos.

I think the point is the American* van scene shifted** from the BOF E-Series to the more European and refined Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, and Ram Promaster (a Fiat something).

This strikes me as just sort of a Viper-ism that everyone who owns one would be okay with.

Fuck that noise too. Nobody asked for buttons to go away, and cars are not better off without them.

And then realizing you can’t sell the thing so you just decide to drive it as long as it runs is basically like being stuck going to the super bowl with Newman.

The funny thing about seeing a 7+year old Land Rover for cheap on NPoCP is my brain immediately goes to: Is this thing worth more in pieces than it is put together? In this case, it actually might!
