This is me, when I bought my truck that I looked 2 years for, my daughter got in and asked how to let the window down, I said "use the crank handle". She then asked how to adjust the mirrors, I said " let the window down and use your hand". Vinyl seats and floor cover, AC, Am, FM no CD radio.

Every time I see a new model car (ICE or EV), and notice more and more being done through some kind of data connection...I sigh. Maybe I'm stuck on a worst case scenario that isn't likely, but I can't help but think that "right to repair" is going to have a wide meaning. The battle over such a concept coming to everybody's individual conveyance in my lifetime worries me.

They probably hung around the saloon saying " Where do these people plan to get gasoline? Grass and water are everywhere."

All we needed was a little mercurochrome and a bandaid to get back into action…if even that.

Why? How does it benefit you for someone else to be stranded? On the EV forums they could post a similar photo of an ICE car stranded out of gas and say "I hope this happens a lot more". Sure it's more convenient to quickly refuel an empty ICE with a gas can than to tow it, but the same basic principal can happen to either type of energy. You gotta watch your fuel/battery gauge. One advantage an EV has that few people with ICE cars have is that you can almost always start your day with a full charge. Plug in at home each night and you always start on Full. Someone brought up a mass evacuation like a hurricane. That's definitely a challenge, but it's also a challenge for ICE cars. Lots of people never make it all the way because they run out of gas and the one gas station for 20 miles ran out hours ago. Last winter there was a big snowstorm somewhere that stranded a bunch of people for a day or two. Gas cars were running out of fuel overnight, mostly because few were on full tanks when the day began. But there was at least one guy in a Tesla who stayed warm all night and was able to drive home after the road reopened because he started the day on a full charge. Another byproduct of the ICE cars in that situation was breathing in toxic fumes. When a car is moving, you don't get that effect, but packed together on a closed roadway and everyone idling, lots of those toxic fumes pool around the car and cars are not airtight.

I was in grade school in the 70's. I never thought we were tough but, now I know we were tough as nails, compared to todays kids.

At some point, we are going to be subscriptioned to financial ruin, though. This is not a trend I like at all. Example, we cut the cable a couple of years ago for a substantial savings. That's been creeping back into cable territory as subscription rates have crept up over the last two years. And yes I know it's our choice, but is it really? As for what I want on a car, well I can be pretty basic. I don't need a lot of whistles and bells. A radio, AC/heat, adjustable mirrors and a comfortable seat, go a long way. Also enough engine and transmission to pull my trailer comfortably, is all I ask for from a truck. Don't care about an onboard GPS, hotspots, or connected service to someone in New Delhi, so they might not make as much money on me as they hope.

I think they are leather cheek pads.

Wow

I wonder how close all this is to the saloon conversations during the 1800's when the horse owners were having questions about the feasibility of horseless conveyances.

I'd like somebody to unplug the teleprompter just once.

That's a deal!

I do not and never have carried open. I do not want anyone to know that I have a gun on me. Ever. Period. Your feelings may vary. I carry multiple ways. First and foremost I almost always have my Micro Eagle in my front left pocket. If it is cold or I am riding my motorcycle, as I wear a leather vest, I will wear a shoulder holster with a Glock 19 under my left arm with two additional magazines under my right arm. If it warm out and I am just wearing jeans and a shirt, I carry a Glock 19 in the waistband appendix carry with an extra magazine. It took some time to adjust to the fact that I have a gun pointed right at my junk, but honestly I am bummed that I didn't convert to this sooner. It is comfortable, easy to conceal and is rapidly accessible. I use a kydex Desantis Pegasus Pipe Hitter, I had to go look it up real quick so I could edit to add.

TREX Arms appendix holster (AIWB) with a Shadow Systems MR920. I have converted to appendix carry since listening to the Shooters Nation podcasts when Mark challenged everyone to stay with it for 3 weeks before giving up on it. Hated it the first week and a half but then it began working for me. It is also a motivating factor to keep my weight down as well!! Planning to try a Keeper’s Concealment AIWB holster or Tier One at some point.

I found my kid a nice 07 GMC truck here on this forum for a very fair price. 40k miles, and just like new! He likes the truck, but hates the manual windows. LOL! I was married for years before I ever had a vehicle with power windows. I’ve replaced several power windows motor assemblies. I’ve never had a problem with hand cranks that grease wouldn’t fix.

This is a very good point. Nothing I own is newer than 2012 and I am A OK with that. I recall my BIL bitchin about crank windows on his old VW Jetta a couple years back and the fact it didn't have a usb charging port, mp3, etc etc etc. Mind you it got 50 mpg but this was before Joey's pump pounding. So he sold it for something with more creature comforts and half as good mpg. He now regrets the choice he made and I do my best to remind him of it every time I talk to him

Monthly subscriptions are where the vehicle companies are hoping the gold is. They will be very aggressive in this area to recoup the costs of converting plants and supply chains to the EV side. Alongside and after that, it'll be to prop up the share price and distribute dividends, or keep a growth story alive. What's worse is that 25% accepting is going to creep up as generations shift. Gen Z and Millennials are used to subscription models for plenty of things as a normal part of their life. Gen X has prefected the art of griping and moving on. Microsoft Office becoming a subscription instead of a new version you could ride out buying every other release is a great example, your smartphone being amortized as part of your monthly service plan is a other. The C-Suites aren't waiting for the boomers to exit gracefully before they flip this switch. They don't need as many people willing to endure a subscription model as some may think, and 25% now isn't a bad metric for where the technology is. The ones who hate it will be drug along kicking and screaming for lack of better options once they have between 50-55% compliance. Griping in a survey is different from voting with your wallet. The future has a lot of cool stuff we haven't even conceptualized yet. It will also have the same style of merchants finding creative, often insidious ways to get you to fork over money to them just like it's been since antiquity.

The light LEM HK’s are outstanding imo. This is one of the best all around CC setups there are. I’ve got a light LEM P2000sk and love it. Great deal for someone in your neck of the woods……… GLWS!!

Ah that makes sense, well thanks for the fix, I'll be upgrading soon!

It’s some kind of fabric. Maybe something to keep a sweaty cheek in place.

Ever raise a teenage boy?

That plays a bit tinfoil hat. I’d think if it’s a question, look at a warranty schedule showing time and mileage cost grids. As the future. I wish we could choose the good parts. Leave out the parts board members all add. The Cox survey references a 25% survey sample who said they were ok with this revenue model: GM is hoping to increase profits by offering a wide variety of in-vehicle features through a subscription model – a strategy that will be enabled by its new connected Vehicle Intelligence Platform and Ultifi end-to-end software platform. The automaker’s own internal research goes against Cox Automotive’s, with the automaker saying its customers are eager to bundle vehicle features together in monthly subscription models. GM’s own survey on customer reactions to subscription services included thousands of participants – more than Cox’s rather low sample size. “Our research indicates that with the right mix of compelling offerings, customers are willing to spend $135 per month on average for products and services,” Alan Wexler, GM’s senior VP of innovation and growth, told TechCrunch in an interview last year. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2022/04/just-25-percent-of-car-buyers-willing-to-pay-for-subscription-services/amp/

Wow, nice deal on the chargemaster. Now find some primers

Duke’s is good I will give you that. However I grew uP on Hellman’s

Anyone who knows mayo knows Duke's is the only right answer.

You ever wonder why every single photo of a UFO looks like they were taken by this security cam?
