He didn’t trade it in, he sold it to someone else and likely made back most of what he paid for it and then upgraded to the Performance trim to boot.

This reminds me of this total shitstain moron on my Audi forum who got a new bumper for his Atlas Grey A4. He was getting it painted to match and insisted that the guy repaint it multiple times because specifically where the bumper met the rear quarter panels didn’t match. They pictures visibly showed a tonal…

Oh trust me I’d LOVE a mini assistant. My 6-year old couldn’t care less about cars (other than informing me that my car is old and “you really need a new electric one, dad!”). My 2 year old might be into it but he’s still too young. He’d probably dump out trans fluid and start drawing with it on the ground, haha. Or…

Yup, exactly. In my case I wasn’t qualified for the extended warranty since for my model year (2008) they “fixed” the problem and thus I was excluded. But yea I figured they were going to do as little work as possible to kick the can down the road anyway so I just did it myself to save myself the hassle down the road.…

Agreed here with a few caveats:

re picture 2: How about people who buy nicer, somewhat newer cars without warranties and wrench themselves to keep running costs down and scratch the occasional DIY itch? Those of us who enjoy some wrenching here and there are not all masochists like David Tracy. My 2008 A4 has never seen the inside of a Service Bay…

So is this subscription just a lease? Did Volvo just “rebrand” leasing to pander to millenials and younger (I’m a millenial so I’m not just an old man complaining about kids these days)?

So because you think that HE PERSONALLY never was caught up in this absolutely clusterfuck, that therefore he has no responsibility for things that have happened? Hoo boy someone explain what CEO stands for to this sweet sweet summer child.

Ditto. I hate it because its ugly as hell and less practical than a proper wagon.

This author understnds that Lexus was just an American thing in the 90s right? And that its was and always has been Toyota, just Toyota++. The SC was a Toyota in Japan. The Supra was absolutely a Toyota.

Wat? The whole point of the supplier to do testing is that they verify they meet requirements. Why bother having the supplier test them if you’re going to test ever single piece again?

Thats sorta my takeaway, if the conditions are so bad that you NEED chains, you’re better off waiting until conditions improve rather than rolling the dice.

Yea, snoqualmie can get pretty gnarly in the winter. I drive an AWD wagon with snow tires in the winter. I rarely need it in Seattle proper, but this winter tehy’ll get a workout as my daughter is signed up for Ski School (wooo! I get to go skiing for the first time since having kids!) and at least I have the benefit…

Wireless efficiency drops by the square of distance, so unless you’re driving over a raised “rail” that has sensors to adjust in real time to the height of your vehicle, yes wireless charging is very inefficient.

My 2004 A4 had the same thing. This is news?

I sure that the cyclists who were hit will feel MUCH better knowing that the officer got a mark on his permanent record!

I think, more appropriately, we should really consider the carbon footprint these volcanoes have and have a frank chat with the planet about why it was so irresponsible as to have so many volcanoes. The carbon footprint of each volcano must be astronomical over their lifetimes. Even one less volcano could make a real…

This.

Yea...I mean what kind of idiot drives their car..to do stuff...

I was going to say...You sorta lost me at hysteresis.
