I experienced something like this. One of our daughters lives overseas, but her “U.S.” address is ours for mailing purposes. I had to sign a form with my insurance company providing her overseas address and stating that she didn’t live with us.

You shouldn’t be able to see the side of your car in the driver’s side mirror. Adjust your dang mirrors correctly.

Can’t argue with that basic idea, but a turbo 4-cyl probably has fewer parts than a naturally aspirated 8-cyl.

Around there there are signs on the interstate on-ramps that say “Minimum speed 45mph” even.

There is performance to consider. It’s pretty safe to assume EV sports cars are going to be faster than ICE ones. As we saw with that insane Ford van yesterday, some of the fastest vehicles in existence are electric, and we’ve already got a lot of electric sedans that are faster than most ICE sports cars.

Yeah, I was thinking even in my SRT-4 Neon I used to get about 2 laps per gallon on the track. I’m still driving it more than 21 years after I bought it, and it’s pretty normal on gas for a 2.4L making about 300hp. I get 28-30 on the highway and 25-26 around town.

Hope you’ve had a good year!

When I lived in a Dallas suburb, at least the school zones there always had lights that flashed when it was in effect. Years ago when I moved back to rural Illinois, I found that the school zone signs say, “On school days when children are present.” I had to look up on the state attorney general’s site what that means…

Man, this reminds me of several years ago when I was following a car in town that started being very erratic. Slowed way down, sped up again, eventually turned a corner, jumped the curb and drove down the sidewalk. At the next intersection narrowly missed a fire hydrant and ran down the stop sign. By the time it…

Ha! I also had General AltiMaxes as winter tires on my SRT-4 for years, and it was just last Saturday that I swapped my summer Toyos for a new set of Blizzak WS90s. Like you suggested, I keep the winter tires on a set of stock wheels and the summer tires on my treasured old Centerline Storms. I love a clean 5-spoke…

Incognito mode, I hope

600 hp is already enough to get this car to a low 9-second ET, isn’t it? It surely can’t weigh much more than 2000 lbs.

Long ago when I was in high school, a classmate’s father worked at a candy bar factory in our town. He came and spoke to our chemistry class once, and said his job as a “microanalytical entomologist” was to determine if the candy had more than the allowed amount of roach legs and rodent hair in it. The allowed amount.

FWIW I replaced it with a $50 camera from Amazon a couple of weeks ago, and it’s working perfectly. This new camera even has a slightly better picture than the original. It’s a pretty straightforward process, but I suggest following the guidance of one buyer who recommended getting a package of the little clips that…

My 2016 Fusion’s rear camera has started doing that. :-/ I really like the car otherwise, but there’s clearly something wrong with Ford’s cameras. More than half the time now it’s reversed. When that happens it’s also missing the overlay showing where the wheels are going to go. The raw camera image needs to be…

I’ve only flown Turkish once, but I thought the food was really good, even in economy.

GM seems to have discovered the only source of interior plastic worse than what Chrysler uses.

I agree that the Element has an incredible amount of space, especially leg room. But I was in one on a 3000 mile road trip, and it was super-uncomfortable. Great design, terrible ride.

I can’t believe I had to scroll this far down to find the GLHS!
