Yeah around Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto, they have all sorts of cars with strobes tucked away in them. It’s been an unfair playing field for years up here. What pisses me off is the blatant money grab that this is. If it was about public safety, they would be as visible as possible to prevent through…

Um... I am a dealership tech, and I just spent a month fighting with an issue that was only present with the ESE turned on in a 2016 F150 3.5EB. Yes. I am 100% certain it can be turned off. I can’t be bothered to “prove” it to you any more than that.

Not much to tell. It’s a common thing with them. At the bump-stops and at the frame bend right behind the cab. I’ve seen and condemned more than I can count. Never encountered a bent Raptor frame from regular use.

That’s an option and it can be turned off. It’s hardly noticeable anyway.

Can we talk about all the Chevy half tons that snap frames regularly with just normal use, nevermind railing 18" deep squared ditches at 100mph...?

All hail the dog-leg gearbox.

If you own a vehicle like this, it’s your duty to the public to drive it as much as possible, so everyone can share in the wonder and glory of something so magnificent and rare, rather than cloister it in your garage and sip brandy while telling your friends about what it might fetch at auction.

And that has what to do with the sale of tea in China?

My grandmother drives a Corvette and just replaced her IS250 AWD. No one needs to explain the concept of a cool gramma to me. But if the OP, to whom the grandmother comment was referenced, is saying his gam gam doesn’t know cars, then it’s a fair metric, no? And generally speaking, it’s also a fair statement that most…

No one said you’re not entitled to make a living. I would also hope that you might realise that every broad generalization comes with caviats or exceptions to “the rule”; if you really were as upstanding an individual as you’re prattling on about, I would think this might slide more easily off your shoulders. I’ve…

No, it’s the weasely, smarmy, self-absorbed attitude and willingness to push people past what they should reasonably want, need, or afford in the pursuit of pushing your commission just a little higher. It just so happens that your profession attracts that type in droves. Your response reminds me of an expression...…

No. You were implying that the idiots who tried this in real life and died in the attempt were the only ones who’d be effected by it. I was reminding you that the train doesn’t just drive itself and I’m pretty sure there would be a strong feeling of guilt and accountability on the behalf of the engineer if he hit and…

What?

You’re*

Pretty sure the cost of the car is not even remotely on the radar for this type of production.

Except that the engineer has to live with that for the rest of their life, and that’s something no one deserves.

People are gonna shit on you for being a wet blanket, but I wholeheartedly endorse your statements. People are getting dumber by the fucking day and industrial accidents are no joke. I can’t fathom having to live with the train you’re operating hitting someone, or even an empty vehicle. But people don’t think of the…

Sorry, but that’s “in Canada” not “near Canada”....

*Salesmen. Salesmen know as much as your grandmother. They’re all idiots and they all need to burn in hell.

And jogging across 3x the field they play American Football on isn’t tiring? They play for longer too.
