Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

Consumer Reports based on 3 year study

Most Reliable Mid Size Pickups

 

.
I saw that and it was crazy (watched it all on another site) ... especially the ending.

Could be a good training film on "What NOT to Do" in a chase.

However, they indicated that it was "All By The Book" in the chase.

FWIW ... this video was our main topic of discussion this morning at breakfast.

IMO ... the first cop could have pinned the perp's vehicle up against that brick fence column and NOT given him the space to ram the cop car ... and give the perp space to back up and get away ... just my thoughts.

 

The same consumer reports that thinks the Tundra is unreliable

 

Too much truck for my blood

 

I wonder how reliable Consumer Reports is.

 

They called the fabled 1st gen Taco "an unimpressive compact pickup"

 

Not as reliable as they used to be. I used to be a member until they gave me bum steers on a TV, a washing machine and a coffee maker. They lost it a long time ago in my humble opinion.

 

What always gets me is the reliability winners on vehicles that haven't even gotten out to the consumers yet . I understand lifetime testing and alpha/beta customer testing during development stages (literally part of my job) but IMO that says very little when it comes to real life.

 

There were several instances where a cop was pinning him from the rear and all they needed was a cop to pin the front and it would have been over. It seems like they were too eager to get out of their cars and point guns tho. Think it comes down to odds though, most perps aren't going to ram police cars. They're more likely to hop out and run or hop out and have a shoot out.

 

Consumer Reports is garbage anymore.

 

My point exactly. Especially when they can no longer recommend the Toyota Tundra but completely ignore. All of the Chevy lifter and rod issues that have been plaguing What could have been a great truck for years.

 

^If you LS swap a Tacoma, do you inherit the lifter and rod issues, too?

 

That's a @T1TITAN question

 

Haha i haven't pulled the trigger yet. Hell i might sell that tacoma and buy another 7.3l dinosaur

Spoiler: Ouch

Odd but made me say wtf. I live in a converted cargo trailer. As my space is limited, I try to get as much of the shower water to go down the drain rather than on my towel. That way, my towel dries faster and I have less moisture in my trailer. So, I use my hands as a squeegee to dry off a bit.
I decided to try Dr. Squatch soap for the hell of it. Nice scrub effect with the medium grit and provides a good bit of lather with minimal water. The wtf occurred when using my hand to squeegee my chest (I'm a hairy SOB). The nice slick feeling everywhere else turned into feeling like my hand was wrapped in duct tape (sticky side out) and came to a rapid and painful stop as a handful of hair was ripped off by the edge of my palm. Once dry, back to smooth and slick. I like this stuff, but it's $6/bar.

 

$6 before the Disney licensing fees? https://drsquatch.com/pages/star-wars-collection-II
