Critical mistake. Never get between a university's administration and a pile of cash. That's how you learn that students have zero rights real quick.

Well this wasn't posted directly to the ml instance so it'll stay as long as OP's post. Which will not be long because this propaganda vomit is against the /c/politics rules as it's not a news article or even a link lol

Reminder that all insurance companies are in the business of collecting premiums, NOT paying out insurance claims.

Probably a bit of the board being averse to a low volume halo product, and a bit of the fact that Ford basically sold every single vehicle it made in the 80s and 90s and factory space was at a premium. Setting aside factory volume to squeeze in a 10k-per-year special model was not that attractive. Too small to dedicate its own factory to (like the Explorer), too big to not interfere with existing operations.

They also mention the heavy reliance on imported European parts and engineering, and I imagine that was a bit of a corporate negative at the time.

The unnamed International transmission in my dad's old dump truck has reverse completely to the left and down. Conveniently placing it right in the middle of your goddamn leg.

It might not have been located quite that far over when new but now you basically have to scooch over and hug the driver door whenever you're backing up at all.

Honorable mention to the 6sp ZF trans in my dad's F550 flatbed, where reverse is left-and-up, also putting it near your knees and also in nice range of the hanging keys out of the ignition to whack against it randomly.

The chess square is not aligned with the monitor pixels so it is sharp edged on the bottom and left, but has a blended border on the top and right.

You're welcome.
