My buddy, retired Nov 2019 with 30 years, is a world class dumpster diver, scrounger, and all around cheap skate. He was complaining about doing a tune up on his Hemi Ram. He said he could get the OEM plugs for a couple bucks each, the next better grade for 5-6 each, and the best ones for 8 or so. I said just get the good ones you cheap SOB. He started whining he couldn't afford that much money, plus all new coils. I didn't even know that the Hemi's had gone to two plugs per cylinder. Technology is great, but, the the engineers and lawyers think we are babbling idiots. If you think cars are bad, try guns. I have every American Rifleman magazine from 1948 to date. The post WWII issues would show you how to notch a bolt and reweld it to move it down so you could mount a scope. Saw one article how to cut the bolt off, mill out the left side of the receiver, and weld it back on, to make it left handed. They acted like every one had a Bridgeport mill in the garage. Now, your lucky if they tell you how to put a damp cloth on a dent in the stock and use an iron to pull the dent out. Then the liability disclaimer is as long as the article was.

Do they still tell you how to convert it from semi auto to full auto?

nowhere special
American Rifleman is a shadow of its former self. Down to about 80 pages (from 120 or so) and of those only about 20 are worth reading.

Need a mobile office?
While some RVs are designed with a focus on remote working, Nissan’s vision has something those vehicles lack:
an office section that slides out from the rear door.
Activated via an accompanying app, the feature could appeal to anyone wanting to Zoom while surrounded by nature.
There’s even a polycarbonate floor in this section—imagine taking a break from Excel to watch some wild fish beneath your feet.
Those choosing to work inside the vehicle, whether due to the weather, wild animals, or like Rod, a desire to check out Pornhub,
can activate the electronic shades instantly to ensure privacy.
Take the office into the wilderness with Nissan's concept vehicle
The increasing power and portability of modern laptops allow us to work pretty much anywhere: coffee shops, park benches, planes. Nissan’s Caravan NV350 Office Pod Concept expands on that idea by letting people take the the office with them, kind of.While some RVs are designed with a focus on remote working, Nissan’s vision has something those vehicles lack:

By choosing to go all electric, a huge portion of dealers decided to pack it in.
They (Cadillac) really didn’t have a choice if they still wanted to compete in the luxury market. And it’s not like they build any interesting cars anymore.
