Scott's "I review cars while hating them" gimmick was funny for a little while, but wore thin for me.

Yeah at first it was funny until I realized it turned into a gimmick for the show and then it was just dumb. I wonder if SG got sick of it and cut him off from the show.

But tbh, most mechanics/techs I know hate most of the cars they work on anyway :v:

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

In addition to that, Scott was pretty clearly only ever interested in the track worthy cars, dude works on regular cars for living already and gets enough of driving Corollas and base 3-series.

Dude the second that Joe Biden wins in November all of the assholes that are keeping the stock market artificially inflated are going to let that poo poo crash so hard it’s going to make 1929 look like a cake walk. The only way the GOP figures they can get themselves back into power is to loving crater the economy and make things so bad they can blame the Democrats for everything and hope that enough people buy their bullshit that they can retake the Senate in 2022.

Well, when you dump nearly unlimited funds and cut safety regulations to the quick for the effect of propping something up, at least for a little while, it will go up. When will it catch up to us? Monday? November? Either way, not too far off.

To quote the relevant meme, 'Money printer go BRRRRRRRR".

Ford Truck Month waits for no one

The power inverter and the 12 inch screen standard on XLT and up F-150s seem to be the headlining features. 2.0 kW available on any F-150, 2.4 kW standard on the hybrid, and 7.2 kW available as an upgrade on the hybrid. Ford shrunk the bezels on the existing F-150 screen to get to 12 inches instead of slapping a tablet in the center of the car like they did on the Mach E. Traditional knobs and buttons remain for climate and media controls.

the power inverter seems really cool for car camping, tailgating, and construction functions

It's a visual trick to make the arch look like it sticks out further than it actually does.
