I used to live down the road from a moose refuge in Alaska. Cows aren’t necessarily any less belligerent than bulls, especially if they have a calf or two. I’ve had a cow charge me just because I was rolling a cabbage to her in a parking lot one year when they were all starving (ungrateful beast). 

20 years in federal lockup

I forget the cost, but the manufacturing license is an NFA Form 2 and doesn’t let you make select-fire weapons. It’s the same form if you want to cut off the barrel of your AR short enough that it becomes an SBR. The tax stamp for a Form 4, which lets you transfer NFA restricted weapons is $200.

I can’t say for anything other than mine (2010 Sienna), but it has a small faux-console between the front seats that folds down if you want it to.  So that one does allow for Mom Terror.

Ford stopped making tractors in the 1950s

The new systems literally will NOT recognize components, unless a John Deere Representative comes out and runs their recognition USB key to unlock the tractor.

This would be like if you needed to change the brakes on your car and could only go to the dealership, because the moment you removed the wheel, the engine…

I think the problem isn’t just ‘needing a computer’. If I remember right, it’s like dealer only diagnostic tools with cars. It’s that it has to be a Deere authorized mechanic with a proprietary set of hardware that they won’t sell you, and you can’t just use any old laptop.

Yeah, here’s a quote from one of the earlier…

That was brilliantly said. I see it every day in my field too.

It started happening on Hondas as soon as they put in dash displays that were always lit. In town, where there are streetlamps, the difference in brightness between the DRLs and the low beams isn’t super obvious.

Can the IIHS tackle DRL LEDs that are so bright the driver thinks their headlights are on even when they’re not? I run into this all the time now, because dashboards are always lit, even with the headlights off, and DRLs are so bright the owners think their lights are on. I’ve been stuck behind someone without their…

Neutral: “Hey India, what’s going on?”

LNRyan--the Prosecutor--is absolutely 100% right—unfortunately you can’t trust the Sheriff. Two years ago I had poachers on my property and tried to stop them with methods totally within the law—placing dead trees and brush on my fence line. The same day, I was arrested on a bogus warrant by a Deputy that I later…

It’s not about pollution or CO2. It’s about control. It’s about stomping out any manufacturer that manages to produce affordable vehicles for the masses in spite of an ever tightening noose of regulation to stop them.

It’s only a short film, but here’s Richard Madden (Robb Stark in GoT) playing a fictional Group B rally driver.

A movie about early 2000s rally racing or group b rally racing needs to happen! 

When I don’t use my blinkers in a BMW, I’m an asshole, but not using them in my Tesla is just a sensible range extension strategy.

Once the Koreans figure out a pickup truck and a GTR killer, it’s game over for Nissan.

1st gear. This is what happens when you rest on your laurels. If you make products just good enough, then why would someone buy them? I would buy a comparable Korean car 100 times over anything Nissan is selling right now.

Just look up the Fulda Gap; it would've been a literal superhighway for Soviet armor columns straight into Europe. When you're facing tens of thousands of Soviet tanks backed up by a literal fuckton of mechanized infantry, artillery and CAS, nuclear weapons are your best bet at evening the odds.
