You fools! We’ve spent decades trying to get BMW drivers to use their blinkers, and you go and give those penny pinching 3 Series M Sport assholes all the ammunition they need to never use them again!

I am continually shocked that FCA took the Challenger/300 profits and plowed them into useless extraneous ventures instead of updating the platform. Last I saw news of it, we’re looking at 2020-2022 for a platform replacement for those models. That’s insane. The platform will be old enough to get a license.

Serious question- if they sell Jeep, what the hell keeps their balance sheets in the green?

The continual erosion of driver skill with ‘assist’ technologies such as backup cameras and lane change warnings will mean that all that $$$ spent to ‘save lives’ will end up looking rather foolish when traffic accident deaths don’t really decline much. Auto-braking systems are the only ones that I feel like I can…

One good example of the relative term ‘recent’ would be comparing taking the dash out of my 1972 Challenger with taking out the dash of my 1969 Cougar. By 1969, Ford had switched to printed circuit boards and a single connection plug for the entire dash. In 1972, the Mopar dash was still individual gauges with a mass…

Thank you for the link, that was very informative.

What are these injuries? Construction-related as they build a new plant while simultaneously building product? Cuts? Systemic issues with how humans interact with the production line?

If that someone is trying to sneak in said firearm and knows it will be used to kill people* Just to complete the analogy

Not to mention that if they had let him by, would that meth have ended up killing someone else?

Micro cars/cab overs do not come anywhere NEAR modern crash test standards, unfortunately. As road vehicles, they will fall farther and farther out of use

The Panhead leaks like crazy

I agree. My view would be to keep the choice not to have this camera on my purchased vehicle if I don’t want it. But that argument is over, and the costs have already been passed on to the consumer.

It costs the manufacturer that. It costs the CONSUMER more. And yes, costs will come down as it becomes a standard thing.

I would LOVE to see a car, past or present, where the backup camera option only cost $40. Or did you just make that number up?

No, certainly not. It ups the price by $300-900 based on what manufacturers actually have charged for that specific option on vehicles. Which is 1-2.5% of the purchase price of the vehicle.

Then you drink the bottle really quickly after you discover the bike still leaks oil even with the new part.

The camera is the most inexpensive bit of the whole setup. You need the wiring, the screen to display it on, and the most expensive part- the software that ties it all together. And no, backup cameras should not be standard unless you’re talking about a quad cab long bed monstrosity. If you don’t want a backup camera…

I honestly don’t notice a big difference. I guess I’m used to seeing them tucked.

Fun Fact: Not only is this cheaper than buying Harley parts at a dealer, but you also get free Gin.
