If that was a GM, the side airbags would be deployed.

I had a Subaru Crosstrek rental, which is a wildly popular ‘normal person’ car. I had to exchange it the next day. It was just so slow (rated at 152 hp but I was in Denver so it was more like 99hp), the CVT was super rubberbandy, and it lacked any interior features invented this decade.

The Elon Ride has jumped the shark.

Exactly what I was thinking. From the upside down, huge nostrils to the overly convoluted bumper cover, that front end is turrible.

the environments of planes and cars are very different and analogies between the two don’t transfer well.

Autonomous vehicles will drastically reduce collisions and deaths. But this baby step of Tesla’s advanced cruise control that expects drivers to still pay attention (wink wink) is not ready for many common situations on the road. Sure, there will be crashes along the way of development and bravo to those brave souls…

Silver lining: he has a badass luche libre outfit now.

Article idea: do an explainer on Porsche and BMW chassis codes. Porsche’s numbers jump around (964, 993, 996, 997, backwards to 991, 992) and BMW’s jumped forward by leaps and bounds (decades of Exx, then to F and G in just a few gens).

I hope Jalop and other news outlet start using quotes around Tesla’s “Autopilot” to denote that it is in name only and doesn’t accurately represent its capabilities. Just like cell phone “unlimited” plans.

That is the most American way to die

The hybrid GTI could be named GTI-I, which looks like GTH. I’ll just GTFO now.

I wouldn’t pay full price for a Smashburger but for half price (they offer BOGO coupons almost all the time), it’s good.

Not many people recognize my watch band but I know you guys get me

You’re right

Only clicked this forkin’ post for this.

Who really needs to archive and save their texts? Sure, you might want those naughty pix your bae [insert roll eyes emoji here] sent but otherwise, start fresh on your new phone.

I’ve found great prices and free overnight shipping at RMEuropean.com for my BMW parts. They’re based in Colorado so even if they didn’t provide the overnight shipping, parts still get to the West Coast faster than all those East Coast vendors.

It will happen. They say it will not touch its operations now, but they will change course at some point.

I picked up a barely used Airport Express for my sister’s house a few months ago for $30. Airplay 2 makes it an even better deal now!

Free dog!
