The best is when it's someone in a raised up pickup with improperly aimed $60 Canadian Tire headlights.

I don't wish to alarm you, but caterpillar isn't a very forward thinking company.

They're EPA 2008 highway diesels were so terrible they pawned the design off on international hoping they would sort it out. They then designed a highway truck using the engine without the thought that international might not be able to make it work despite the fact that international is TERRIBLE.

Now they're putting cummins emissions systems onto a navistar engine into their caterpillar truck.

As someone who doesn't know, why is international terrible?

These cheap assed owners are not just limited to cars. Somehow they think paying any amount of money means that they have things that last forever, and will bring up price at any opportunity.

"I paid $500 for this laptop why doesn't it work"

"Why can't my XYZ do this, it cost $1500."

"What do you mean my iPad can't do ___, it cost $500."

"Why do I have to perform ABC maintenance on my car, it's a BMW. And BMWs are expensive. Do you know how much I paid for this?"

"Do you like my coffee table? It only cost $3000 but that's alright I can afford that."


These are also the people who always refer to all of their items by name: "oh I left my iPhone in my bmw."

Really lovely balancing. Think heavy spot + valve in the same place. A good place would remount it and not have to use all that weight.

Why is it that only Lexus has managed to make cars that are both good at crash protection and have any form of visibility these days?

You can sit in a new IS and still expect to see out of the rear passenger side window, And it gets 5 star whatever ratings.

the way the headlights aim is also way better, and visibility up front as well.

basically all trucks should be like this

the worst one is the one in the current ford f150.

it's still a big stick in the center console, except it also folds down out of the way if you're just working inside the truck.

it's obviously computer controlled, so why is there a need for such a huge shifter, even gm's dash mounted thing is a better solution for working inside the truck


bonus: when it first came out, there were reports that the shifter would get jammed in the down position

spray foam has taken over from the previous worst product for fixes, which was just household silicone.

we are long past the days of baling wire and duct tape

I'm starting to wonder if spray foam is ever used in the correct way.

there is like 1 correct use of spray foam in a can (filling in the gaps in door frames and the wall, or window frames and the wall) and not a single other use for it at all.
