I have a problem with hooking up Bluetooth with one of my phones, an S5, to my car. It also has problems hooking up with the Bluetooth speaker in my office. The problem is my phone, not the car, and I’m sure people in similar positions blame it on the car because they don’t have 8 Bluetooth devices periodically…

I sympathize with the problems you’ve inherited thanks to conservative politics which exported your jobs. I voted against them.

Welcome to the world of Millenials, who swear that they have the right to spit on people who lean their seat back. You expect better from them when they’re inconvenienced by someone’s medical emergency?

Add one more to the repertoire of things to keep an eye out for on a bike. Heal fast Sean.

My wife and I both ride, and our household saying is, “That which doesn’t kill you, makes for a good story.”

Pruis is definitely an anti-car. Though I’ve seen slammed versions with a big can. And not slow drivers. I still haven’t recovered from the cognitive dissonance.

I customize my advice on a per person basis. In general, I recommend a Kia Optima fully optioned for people looking for a mid sized sedan, or a Subaru Forester or Outback for people looking for a practical hauler.

Presumably, unlike a human driver, the autonomous vehicle would not pass the last recharging/filling station. Or permit entering a route that exceeds its charge/fuel supply. And for most failures, there are warnings an autonomous vehicle might sense before a driver and before failure, pulling pulling safely to the…

Your post can only be written, because you grew up in a generation where it is unusual for a less than 10 year old car to have complete transmission failure, or lifter failure, or water pump failure, etc. It’s only been true since the mid 1990s.

Wipers, AC, etc from your list certainly affect the functioning of the…

This is why you see a lot of cars that weren’t considered “reliable”, still on the road in fairly large numbers 30 years post new. Sure, they rattle and squeek, and have panel gaps you can stick your head through, but the engines, transmissions and major systems work fine.

2nd gear: agreed. Infotainment should have its own category, and should be removed from “reliability” considerations.

Based on what source? Sounds like enthusiast forum posts.

Since cars are largely reliable today in the classic sense (except maybe Chrysler products) and are largely comparable within a class, automakers have made their Infotainment systems a major part of a model’s selling point.

If infotainment is going to be such a big part of a vehicle’s selling point, automakers who…

It sounds a lot like the system being deployed on the Focus RS.

It looks like a low CUV to me, not a wagon.

Tell me this doesn’t look just like something you would have seen as something worn by some far future society in a science fiction movie or TV show.

In California and dozens of other states, people are not buying these to grow basil and “gourmet herbs”.

American car companies were acclimated to a sales strategy of “You get people into the brand with cheap, shitty small cars, and after a few years, they’ll be begging for our bigger, more powerful and profitable vehicle lines.”

I’m not sure being told what to do by older women, is any better from the younger woman’s point of view, than being told what to do by an older man.

I love the Logitech K740 illuminated keyboard, and am happy they’re still available. My keyboard is in a shadowed part of a well lit room, and it’s the brightest keyboard of its kind. Comfortable, quiet, keys have a nice keypress feel.

Now I’m confused about the definition of “mechanical keyboard”. I thought it meant…

It was a line on the Paris Metro. Not the whole system. It was like this:
