A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I need to get off this thread because I'm getting angry lol. FORD DIESELS ARE GARBAGE! Scratch that, Fords are garbage. Cummins are pretty good. Duramax, garbage.

Depends on the Ford. imo Ford Australia's final two Falcon models were unkillable, and contained an engine everyone's now wanting to get their hands on due to its bulletproof construction and potential for huge, cheap power.

Source; I've owned an FG Falcon from new which now has over 450,000km on it and never once had any issues (also thousands of taxi drivers over 15 years can't be wrong.)
