"9 speed automatic"... *eek*how can you not like this?

yes soon pick ups will have more gears than semis. the future is scary.
The F150 has a 10 speed."9 speed automatic"... *eek*

I'd be all for a CVT that actually worked. The technology is brilliant. They just aren't being built for heavy loads. Or even small loads.*shutters*
These damn things are shifting themselves to death! We'd be better off if they'd just build a heavier duty CVT. No wonder everyone is having transmission failures at 100k and doing "lifetime fills" on them. They're just cooking themselves...
What diet are you doing?Still drinking coffee. I've usually quit by 8am but on this "diet" I've been plowing through till 10ish then switching to water till lunch.
May have found the trailer I want for our overlanding. Gonna call about it Friday and try to go grab it. 3.5x5.5 Lowes landscaping trailer.

Speaking of CVTs. All Nissan cars (save the Z and the GT-R) are now equipped with CVT transmissions. Yet they still have things like "manual mode" and they simulate shift points. It's ufcking stupid! It's a CVT! It doesn't shift! But that's how they program them. Which is one reason I think they fail so often. The load change of "shifting" a CVT is something they're not designed for. They're designed for smooth engagement all along the cones. It's ufcking dumb.
oh ufck... i said it.
Agreed. They should have never given in and added the fake shifts. My wife’s 2010 Altima was before they did that. Very smooth. It has over 150k now with no issues what so ever.
That said, I still hate driving it even though I like the concept. We need to sell it lol.

True story. I have a lot of old Ghost Rider books.Ghost rider movie was so trash, but ive been a huge fan since i was but a wee lad. Thinking maybe i need to start back collecting
The problem with the Nissan ones was quality control. The story I got from my buddy who's a master tech was that the 2007ish-2016 transmissions were made by a company called Japco. They were hot garbage. Nissan was pissed. So they bought Japco which put Nissan in charge of quality control. Supposedly the 2017s and newer are much better.CVT transmissions are straight hot funky garbage. Ex Wifes in the Ford 500, failed at 95k. buddies wife's failed in her Altima at 99k. Department ford 500 same shiat. Absolutely the worst ufcking transmission I have ever experienced in LIFE.
Thats good to know. I have avoided any car that has remotely had anything CVT related in it because of the premature failures and super high rebuild costs.The problem with the Nissan ones was quality control.

I think it was 2011 they programmed them to “feel” like a regular automatic with gears and fake shift. Completely defeats the entire purpose of cvt

What diet are you doing?
Fast diet? That one actually worked well for me but had trouble coordinating what I could eat with the rest of the family
Yes. Yes you do.Ghost rider movie was so trash, but ive been a huge fan since i was but a wee lad. Thinking maybe i need to start back collecting
I do love me a good salad.
Its sitting in front of the TV after dark with a glass of delicious bourbon and a bowl of popcorn that affects my weight most I think.
I lost quite a bunch in my recent home flood, which has gotten me thinking about it again. Replacing my read copies with some a bit more Jon Money.Yes. Yes you do.
Miniscule calories in bourbonThe bourbon I budget for. Last night I kept grabbing chocolates for some damn reason. Need to budget that crap as well I guess.
Miniscule calories in bourbon
But can you really put a caloric price on bourbonic bliss?Knob Creek is 127cal/1.5oz

This is why I blend my cheeseburgers and pizza.But those are liquid calories. Everyone knows that fat is more of a solid, so liquid calories don't apply.
