It's a bit of both, probably.

The convoluted estimation of fuel economy is like a case study in the absurdity of government bureaucracies. Just drive the damn car down the damn highway and measure how much fuel it uses, and then do the same thing on a stop-and-go course.

I have an intense desire to see a heavy cruiser loaded with a half-dozen 16" guns using these type of shells. 2,000lbs of explosives, being delivered at mach 3 anywhere in a 75-mile radius? Yes, please!

Yes but for asymmetrical warfare like we've been involved in for 15 years, a $50k guided munition is a hell of a lot more cost effective than $1m tomahawks or $30k JDAMs being dropped by multi-million-dollar aircraft.

It's pretty epic. I think that I'll end up paying about $320 of interest over the entire life of the loan.

No kidding. Hyundai offered me 0.9% APR so you're damn right I took the 72-month loan. That's almost free money.

I think these long-term loans are definitely causing a lot of time-shifting in sales (people buying a new car now instead of 2 years from now), but it will come to hurt the car companies in the future as people hold onto their vehicles thanks to the lien on the title. Ultimately, they're great for the consumer,…

Neutral: How Long Will You Keep Your Car? Does it feel old already?

You sound like my wife. She freaked out when I left the car running and unlocked for 15 minutes while it warmed up. Nobody is going to steal your car unless you live in Detroit or something.

lmao your wife sounds like a real keeper

Your mistake there was setting the thermostat to the highest possible heat setting. The defroster will work even if you set the temperature to "medium," and you won't risk breaking your windshield with thermal shock.

This is seriously one of the best movies ever made.

Neutral: Is There A Future For Apple And Tesla?

Great googly moogly, we have a winner.

lol hipsters not paying attention to trends. That's rich.

It died after 250k miles. I'd say it had a good life. Damn do I want another one, though.

But he set the traction control to Snow Mode!

Also, if you had a Ranger with anything smaller than the 4.0L V6, GTFO.

Well, the one I had was an extended cab, but it wouldn't have been a problem anyway because I'm a mere 5'9". Maybe you shouldn't have had such tall parents.

I had a '94 Ranger in college (with a 5-speed, natch). What an incredible little truck that thing was. So much more practical than the giant F-150s and Silverados that other guys had, and it was unbelievably fun to drift around on dirt roads.
