They do. I dug around online and see the ones we made were Supertruck 2 DOE program, that Kenworth is Paccar's Supertruck 3 program product. SuperTruck 3 Program Participants Named Looks like my work's last Supertruck got similar mileage to my 3/4 ton gas truck just driving around with no...

The US Department of Energy provides funding to over the road truck builders to develop these concepts. I doubt you'll ever see that Kenworth rig on the market, but certain efficiency improvements that are developed in these concept builds do get carried over into updates on presently available...

Stellantis seems like they are trying to destroy CDJR, I am not sure if it’s intentional though. Stellantis itself isn’t doing poorly financially with their global operations it’s just Chrysler that’s suffering. I work at a truck OEM and I’ve seen firsthand how management can come in and hurt a...

They turned into appliances. A row of refrigerators would be just as exciting.

I don't see how many cars of trucks built in the last few decades will be serviceable after a certain time. Call it planned obsolescence or perhaps those designing vehicles really don't think of or have any reason to be concerned with products they are designing being able to be repaired after...

I had a real bad DVT blood clot in late 2020 and blood thinners are part of my diet now too. Shocking how expensive the one I take is, I think it lists at $650 a month! I get emails at work every month from our insurance encouraging me to switch to antiquated cumiden to save money, fact is if I...

The weather was great for the show last Sunday and turnout was great. I got a space in the swap meet this year and managed to part with some of my clutter. I also managed to sneak off a few times to take a few pictures of the show. Had a great time! CMC Mo-Power Show 6-2-24

I had issues with Levi’s splitting in the back where the top of the back pocket was sewn in. The last time that happened was with a new pair I doubt I’d worn more than a time or too. My *** isn’t that fat so 0 excuse for that! I haven’t bought a pair of Levi’s since then. Wranglers and Lee...

After a very soggy Saturday, tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day, dry, cloudy early with sun coming out mid day, and mid 70s. Hoping for a good turnout!

Back in 2011 a tornado, fortunately one low on the strength scale, traveled in line right over my house causing a lot of trees down in my neighborhood. The tree on the property line behind my detached garage fell north onto my neighbors garage, instead of south, onto my then 3 year old three...

I wonder about that. I have a Super track pack V code Challenger that I’ve owned over 10 years, and the times I’ve taken it on highway runs to car shows, I’ve been surprised how little gas it uses. On the other hand, I also have a 383 Challenger with a 3:23 rear and it seems to guzzle gas on...

The Chicagoland Mopar Connection is hosting their annual spring car show at Cozzis Corner Restaurant in Downers Grove Illinois. This is a great show that has been drawing 150+ cars and also has a swap meet full of Mopar goodies. More details here: From Modern to Classics | Chicagoland MOPAR Club

I have over 30 years worth of car magazines here and have from time to time looked through them for something but it’s been awhile. I had 30 years worth of aviation related magazines here too, and a few years ago I realized I’d never look at them again , so why save them? Problem is I’d want...

Unless the company went bankrupt I don’t understand why they aren’t obligated to refund all the subscribers of all the titles they published refunds for the part of their subscription unfilled. If you paid a contractor a portion of the cost of a project, they did some of it, then told you they...

That’s what scares me about auction cars, how to vet them before deciding to bid. Some are “known” cars, others who knows what is up with them, if they have skeletons in the closet or are 100% legit. The V code Coronet vert I mentioned I’ve not seen before, you can’t get underneath these cars...

My engineering coworker at Navistar (International) had eyes on the 75 IHC 200 pickup running Wednesday. He hoped to get it for low to mid 20s. He ended up riding home in the right seat of my Ram instead of the drivers seat of the IHC, as it hammered for about twice his target! Trucks and...

There was a lot of talk about the purple AARs and the pink one on E bodies.org. One of the purple ones is allegedly restamped block to make it “matching numbers”. The chin spoilers being installed upside down was amusing! On the pink one the radiator support VIN stamp is questionable. A FJ6 ‘71...

The V code Coronet vert sold for $181,500. If my ‘71 V code Challenger was sold I might have been trying for it. I’ve been looking for a good 69 or 70 for quite some time, but really am aiming for a 4 barrel one.

I went down to Indy for the day earlier this week. Had a good time spectating. If planets aligned better I’d have had ideas on bidding on the V code Coronet R/T convertible. Mecum Auction Indianapolis May 2024
