I too feel on fire when I have too much Cayenne

I honestly don’t have a problem with these films. We don’t seem to censor anything else in society so why should we censor the real world consequences of bad decisions on the road. Sheltering kids doesn’t make them safer. By driving age kids have seen far worse in movies and on the internet.

“We Drivers is also an early example of blaming drivers, rather than road or car design, for all crashes;”

“Don’t be evil*”

We’ve been married 14 years so we must be doing something right...

Upside there are no weeds in humans. 

Right with you on the, environmentalists or civil rights.

Petulant little children. And yes, it gets more and more ridiculous what they are being allowed to get away with.

I feel that! At Chrysler, the fact that the “Powertrain Team” was a separate entity from the “Vehicle Team” is literal insanity, and caused soooo many problems.

Agreed. One of the most amazingly stupid things I’ve experienced is when a team will design their subsystem to a certain price target, but that design makes two interfacing subsystems more expensive. The whole car would have been cheaper if they’d have made their subsystem more expensive, but then they get yelled at…

Yes, absolutely. I sort of alluded to this when I mentioned the Versa’s engine going into other vehicles that might not have room in front for a manifold.

Developing cars is so incredibly complex, with pressures from purchasing and higher management.

Often times, if engineers had their way, a car would be better.…

9 out of 10 times this has nothing to do with engineering and everything to do with management or department bullshit.

Replacing a fog lamp bulb on a Suzuki SX4 required far more work and parts removal than the task justified. Pennsylvania inspection requires all lights present to be in working order.

The scariest part is how quickly the driver turns to justifying what happened. That level of blind support for anything is a commentary on so much of what is happening around us... on either side of any issue.

Yeah. By gosh, why are they going to a company that makes overalls?

“1. Why didn’t they contract, ya know, a car company to build these?”

which begs the question: “Why the hell are these not EVs then?” it’s literally the perfect use case for EVs since idling does not waste energy like it does in an ICE.

Haven’t looked up the numbers myself, but apparently the new mail truck can carry twice the weight of the old LLV.
Fully loaded it would be considerably more economical.
I reckon that if you would limit the power to the 90ish hp of the LLV, that you’d also get much better fuel economy.

That said: WHY THE FUCK DOES A…

Not defending the choice of these turds in any way but consider that these trucks are basically doing stop and go every 60-80 ft in an urban neighborhood and I can completely understand how the mileage is going to be complete crap. I expect that if you did this drive cycle in a Honda Fit you would get crap mileage as…
