    Picked this up at an auction : Bead roller. Everything turns freely. Will take apart, clean, de-rust, paint, lube, reassemble and maybe actually use one day.

    You don't understand Jeep or its customers.

    ^ Well, the above just BEGS to be answered the way you have answered charges in the past RE the G-wagon. IE: customers like the Jeeps the way they are, and customers buy hundreds of thousands of Jeeps and, customers find them to be 4x4 icons, etc etc.

    ^ Plenty of manufacturing facilities are "old", it's not that big of a deal. GM's Janesville Assembly was 90 yrs old when shuttered in '09.

    BMW consumers don't, but Jag can hardly afford to keep the lights on in dealerships across the U.S.. Some early reports are really panning the F_Pace, saying it's not very compelling at its price/ has too much cheapness.

    I would suspect they care about proprietary transmissions as much as they do about cylinder count. But some DO see it as 'admitting defeat' on the engineering front.

    The perception problem with Jag using BMW engines (if anyone actually cares about Jag) is that they are competitors. I don't think any further explanation is necessary.

    Waiting to see if Tesla sticks with "500,000 units for 2018" when 2016 is looking like about 12% of that. I'm not finding it credible that battery supply is the constraint on not being at, say, randomly; 125,000 units for '16...

    I'd rather it be outside the living space (garage or basement). Gotta find a spot for it.

    FapTurbo is the 'Gigafactory of Sarcasm'... - - - - - Was that the profile of a Ford F-150 illustrating Tesla's future pick-up?

    I have just recently been thinking about putting up a pull-up bar. Both for upper body strength & to stretch out the spine.

    Travesty of management. RIP, Chrysler Corporation.

    '71-72 El Camino, white over pale yellow, stock, very clean. 'bathtub' 48-50 Packard, shiny, nestled in garage.

    Sometimes this thread feels like walking in on a kindergarten class when nap-time is overdue.

    That's not her. Werbeloff is/was in Australia and her claim to fame is she falsely stated to have witnessed a shooting there in 2009 at age 19. Video in question was shot in Texas in 2001. I don't think the chick in the video is 11 yrs old there. I'm a pretty good interwebs detective, but this one is eluding me...

    This chick is in Saliva's 'Click Click Boom' video, anyone know who she is? Can't find anything online RE a cast connected to the video. Olds, yer a video hound….

    Random Document from the Balthy Files :: 1998 Olds Intrique, 3.8L V6, vehicle inspection report, March 2000. Mileage : 26,225. NOx ~ standard: 625, reading: 31 HC ~ standard: 78, reading: 2 CO ~ standard: 0.44%, reading: 0.00 Not bad for an engine reported to have been discontinued partially due to emissions standards.

    Congrats, always that much more rewarding to follow a career path that happens to align with one's personal interests. Good luck.

    Yea, those too, but it was still possible to miss entire musical careers, IMO. Maybe I was too busy girl watching.

    Just for you, 442, I looked at a couple Samantha Fox videos. I would never had listened to that sort of sugar pop music (or whatever you'd call it), and without the internet in dem days; it was cassettes/ vinyl or the radio… and avoiding those, entire careers could pass by without you knowing it. I truly don't remember her, and thank God. :shrug: Is there a way to turn spell correct off on this board?

    Rut-roh! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/teslas-master-plan-copy-gm-000000267.html - - - - - Image is the trump card Tesla holds over it's competitors… if that starts to fray around the edges, the 'hill' will get taller.

    Those who insist a brand can only have a singular purpose/definition, IE; "Is Cadillac about sport or luxury?" ... are going to have a myocardial episode over this BMW proclamation.

    As my wheeler-dealer buddy Richie would say "How didja come up wit dat number?" Did Musk just call ALL of his current & past consumers (along with every other motorist) "morally reprehensible" for driving??
