Bingo, I’m technically a “Millennial” and work in a technical field making almost double the average income of the county I live in. I went to a 4 year university on student loans, and accumulated a shit-ton of debt. And less than 10 years after graduation I’ve got most of it paid for.

Everything Harley sells is bloated and comes with too much stuff. When shopping for a Bike I went with a Yamaha V-Star, it was several hundred pounds lighter, just as quick, aftermarket parts didnt cost an arm and a leg, and it was a true bike. Most Harleys I see have more storage space than a Civic, a fairing as big…

Spoiler Alert:

Its the same chassis, suspension, and everything as a Tahoe, approximately 5,000lbs. Then they addded about 1,500 lbs of sheet metal, and other garbage while raising the center of gravity to get the 6,500 lb H2. So it was pretty much a Tahoe pushing max GVW all while unloaded.

Yep, 1965 International Loadstar. Drums on all 4 corners, does have a vacuum assist, but still wont stop a 6 ton loaded truck in under 100 yards.

While cast iron manifolds are heavy and take up space, what about all the upsized parts in the cooling system this would require. You now have another large heat source to cool, so more coolant, larger and higher flowing water pump, larger radiator. All those things add weight, cost, and complexity.

I agree, the EMALS system is the system of the future but its not ready. The Ford is pretty much close to ready. No need to install a non working catapult on an otherwise seaworthy ship, kinda defeats the whole purpose if you cant launch fixed wing aircraft. Get the EMALS fixed, install it on the next ship of the…

That was directed to David, sorry for the confusion. We are on the same page. A goverment issued form full of boxes to check does not make your vehicle any safer. The lack of inspections does not make your state any more dangerous.

I live in South Carolina, no state inspections. I drive 100 miles a day, 30ish miles of 2 lane back road, about 70 highway. Maybe once a week i’ll see someone broken down on the side of the road. Its not like without inspections brake lines or tie-rods just magically fail. If that was the case I would have seen may…

In regards to the Neighbor, they can shove it (as long as David wasn’t throwing mud onto their property, or doing this at some unGodly hour of the night). But he did destroy a groomed, grassed, landscaped yard without asking permission first. In a house that you rent you wouldn’t cut a hole in the wall for a new…

I remember when the DPF was just rolling out there were several news articles of trucks idling in tall grass when the regen cycle began. The tall grass near the DPF then caught fire causing an issue. The owners and probably Ford as well were unaware of the issue because of the new tech.

I’m so glad someone did the research on this. On first glance I called shenanigans but didn’t have the resources (time) to prove it.

This, its not a technological issue, its a Liability issue. The tech will be there within a decade for full autonomous driving, but which insurance company is going to foot the bill? Who will have to carry the insurance, when you get in a bus the bus company insures you because you are not in control, therefore not…

You do know that Uber is made up of “Contractors”, that can set their own work hours which is a huge deal in classifying them as “Independent Contractors”. So the Uber CEO kept his service running, allowing the independent drivers to make their own personal choice if they wanted to work that hour or not. And as I…

To his original point, take the Diesel Pickup Market with large DPFs and Urea injection. Take that off, give it a good tune, and you get 150+ more HP, better reliability, and an extra 3 or 4 MPG. Not to mention the DPF’s take lots of energy to produce, and shipping cow urine all over the country burns a lot of diesel…

He says during the Alcohol test that the cylinder seems to be full of liquid. That’s because he filled the Carb up with alcohol by dumping it in. It wasn’t a metered atomization of the fuel. Even if he did drain the fuel tank and fill it with alcohol, it would be jetted to rich. Gasoline is a more viscous fluid and…

A neighbor put her child in the car, realized she left her purse inside, ran inside for under 90 seconds while the child was still strapped in, car idling 15 feet from her back door. A would be car-jacker hoped in and took off with the car and child. Luckily the car-jacker realized he had a child, and would now be…

Asphalt is not usually used as a “cap” on worn concrete, the expansion joints in the concrete pavement reflect up through the asphalt and result in a rougher ride than the orignal concrete surface. It is occasionally used on concrete roadways that are especially bad off as a stop gap measure untill the roadway can be…

People seem to forget that there is a preset amount of energy in a gallon of gasoline. You cant magically go further per gallon without giving up something. You may give up weight, increase aerodynamics, lower power output, or increase the efficiency of the engine. But you will never put more energy into a gallon of…

Yep, they pretty much get a 215 Mil tax break as they begin production and start doing something that is actually taxable.
