$1.2 probably goes a long way in a city council race...

But there are so many other things that one could put that filling in... why peppers?

It was a legitimate question — instant espresso isn’t that common.

“It would be fun to put one in the trunk of a Lemons car and rip it around a track like Laguna Seca.”

All very reasonable advice if you’re the man’s uncle, and you’re having a beer with him, but you know nothing about him, you’re not his uncle, and this is a car enthusiast site. Save your unsolicited “life pro tips” for your nephew.

My sister has a small farm and I can see this being useful there, but at that price its hard to justify over a more-versatile small tractor or used pickup. 

No! Powdered/instant espresso is made by dehydrating brewed espresso, and is water soluble. Even very finely ground/espresso grind coffee is not water soluble. You'll just get water and grit (or mud). Instant espresso is available from many online retailers. 

People don’t stop being people just because they have children. We still want to eat out, have a beer, chat with friends. If there’s an establishment that’s solely for drinking, that’s not someplace I’d take my kid. But If there’s food there, it’s a restaurant and that’s someplace open to all people. Whether a parent…

...and you think parents are the ones who are self-involved....

Maybe those BMW nostrils aren’t helping...

Why is this anyone’s business? It’s no one’s place to ask, and it’s no one’s place to say things like “Daddy’s money” or similar. Guy can afford it, good for him.

Urban sprawl without any consideration of public transportation, instead focusing on only maximizing car speeds. It requires a complete rethink that the US is totally incapable of doing.

...and, if you don’t include your face, you can’t be tracked to your nudes by the ever-more-ubiquitous facial recognition software. At least until nipple recognition software becomes a thing. Which it will. So... maybe don’t take nudes.

If you can find a stat to back that up, that would be great. I looked but couldn’t find any specific numbers for F-150 sales retail vs fleet.

Calvin and Hobbes is my inspiration for parenting.

I feel like the help you need is not mechanical....

Yes,  but that interior should be outlawed.

I don’t disagree that the Rivian is less functional, and that it’s not the kind of truck a landscaper would probably buy, but I’d wager 10% of F-150's are sold for “work.” And I’m guessing that the Lightening XLT with the 300 mile range to match the Rivian R1T, the Lightening will probably cost the same as the Rivian. 

It stands for “miss the utilities” I see? I had no idea - I apologize to WOV2!

I don’t agree with you on the rather-sexist “miss utility truck comment, but I agree that it will be a great work vehicle in many municipal/construction fleet situations, but the Ford F-150 isn’t the top seller because of those situations, nor are those great profit generators. Ford has to appeal to the “Truck Yeah”…
