This is what i thought too but because Chinese New Year is a time when Chinese suppliers shut down anyway, they had lots of banked inventory built up. That plus a 5+ week shipping time across the ocean means OEMs should have parts for a while. 

They can only burn you if they catch you, and they wont be catching anyone who is trained in the art of Unagi...

I heard through the internet that the “handles” on the fender are for tying stuff to, like kayaks or canoes. I heard through the internet that the (6 speed) manual is fun to drive and has tons of room in the back.

These have been around for a while and the leaks have just started this week, seems odd. Seems like it passed a milestone, maybe different people are involved with the program and one or two of them are leaky.

Its true Ford designs their mirrors to withstand higher static forces than most other OEMs, but please don’t tie things to them, especially if you have powerfold mirrors.

650,000 F-150s standing in the corner over there would like to have a word with you.

Yes

Judging by the confusion in the comments i’m guessing adding what is usually just another trim level moniker “Sport” to differentiate a completely different vehicle was not a good idea. 

Wranglers look the same these days. Its the reality of having a removable tail gate. 

Locking covers is standard procedure for most OEMs thanks to all the snooping that goes on these days. 

Oh yeah, well i got to drive one, so neener neener neener.

Who’s Gorgeous?

OK as someone who lives in Michigan, i have to ask now. What is a Michigan dog?

And the ultimate Porsche, “Large Wing with Intake” 

I used to think that way but i’m glad i got one without it. The lines are so much cleaner. Fuchs though, can’t imagine a 911 without Fuchs...

The wife Unit is pregnant and missing her IPAs, we both tried the Lagunitas stuff, its not bad. One of the local restaurants has a mocktail using the Lagunitas and some grapefruit juice, it worked really well. 

David, How do you afford to register and insure these vehicles in Michigan, the state with the highest insurance rates in the country (also a bizzare registration cost structure)? Is there some secret “80% Rust” rule that makes insurance cheaper?

Fuck me, you lost it half way through. Do you have a word quota you’re trying to fill? 

Now THERE’S and Eagle the Hobbits should have taken to Mordor.

Leave it to East Coasters to ruin breakfast burritos...
