I really never understood the stance that Donna got a raw deal on having her memories wiped, but then Donna was one of my least liked companions over the modern series. I just found the character grating so the idea that she could never know the Doctor again or die seemed like a fitting end to her arc. Having watched…

You see an Urus? I see a Ford Escape...

The NA HR-V is a Honda version of a Ford Escape. Not a compliment. Why they wasted money developing a separate car for this market (this goes for any manufacturer) is idiotic especially in this day and age.

Can someone explain to me how the 94-01 RAM 1500 was so revolutionary in it’s modern styling in comparison to the 88-98 C/K trucks? In my opinion the C/Ks started the trend of rounded/more car like exteriors (the interiors would eventually show up ~93?). I remember thinking when the new RAM pickup came out how the cab…

No where did I say the chip shortage isn’t affecting things. What I am saying is that the chip shortage is a convenient excuse for Tesla to use in delaying a vehicle it has little chance of ever actually building, certainly as has been shown. The factory is months away from being completed still. I’ll be shocked (pun…

I have no idea where you’re getting your $13,000 more price from unless you’re looking at a 2wd reg cab short box pickup, or something pretty much no-one buys. So let’s compare apples to apples. Ford states on their website that a base Lightning will start at $39,974. It is a crewcab/5.5'box 4x4. Go to Ford’s…

Um.... I buy a stick? Indeed, I’m picking up my Mazda3 GT Sport 6MT in this colour combo this week. I had to order it because there were only 5 in country and they were White, Black or Silver and I wanted the Polymetal/Red mix. The turbo is nice don’t get me wrong, but it’s burdened by the automatic (and a DCT would…

No doubt they do but at the same time from a marketing pov, actually delivering a product on time would do them some good PR as well, and if as may people claim they want one actually get one then Y & 3 sales will drop.

What are you basing that either will be outsold by Tesla? They might outsell Rivian but zero chance they will the Lightning. Why? Because it’s an F150 and those basically print money. Plus pricing is par with what most are selling for, so unless you’re doing a lot of long-distance towing why not go for the EV version?…

The only question any HOA should be asking is what direction it needs to go to die a painful agonizing death.  Answer is anywhere that achieves that goal.

Yeah, was wondering this as well. Given it’s water permeable you’re not diverting run off onto the neighbours property or excess onto the street which is good, but I could see there being setback/other rules about this.  Also and more critically, depends on how good friends you are with your neighbours....

Oh the semi-conductor issue is definitely real. That said, I wonder what the semi-conductors are for because I ordered a brand new Mazda3GT Sport in June custom and it arrived at the dealership this week - originally it wasn’t supposed to arrive until late September.  Maybe manuals don’t need that semi conductor?

Yes and no. The chip shortage issue is a convenient scape-goat for Musk given the plant they’re supposed to come out of is months behind schedule and the increase sales of the Y is also “fortunate” happenstance to push production of a vehicle that is still in my opinion a questionable thing altogether. Assuming for…

Going to go make some popcorn to settle in reading all the excuses/defense of delying the Cybertruck by all the Teslafanbois and how this is a “good thing” and that it’s “still coming soon” and will be “the best there is and first one to market” all the while Ford and Rivian will be making deliveries in the next 6…

As laudable as striving for zero traffic deaths might be (politicians really love proclaiming that initiative, especially in Toronto with the “Vision Zero” plan) it is impossible to achieve, even if all vehicles are L5 autonomous, particularly when it comes to pedestrian deaths. But even vehicle to vehicle, systems…

Honestly, GM dropped an opportunity in not reviving Saturn as it’s EV brand back when they decided to do the Volt.  It would have made a good separate division to load up EVs/Hybrid models and really do some things without baggage from other established divisions.  Technically not to late but at the same time with…

I mean, Ninety-9 isn’t entirely wrong in his comparison between Tesla and Apple with their respective customers. This latest FSD BS is a similar kind of shade/stunt Apple was pulling with iPhones not long a with an OS update that slowed them down to prolong battery life without actually telling the users. Apple also…

Hi from my 6 year old PC desktop! My 13 year old XP running 2nd PC I built for $600 also says hello. From my experience, the vast majority of issues on PCs are user-related. That said I know lots of MAC owners who have had as many hardware issues as PC owners (HD failures but also RAM issues) and as for iPhones…

It has never made any sense to me “adjusting” a design to suit a particular market vs designing it once and going with it universally. In this car’s case, if it is basically a Golf sedan, why not just use the Golf front clip? Similarly, I think that the new Maverick is a disaster from a styling point of view but more…

I had a conversation a couple years ago with a Cadillac rep just before the Blackwing CT6 was to come out and I’d commented on how nice it was that car (at the time) still had a conventional lever. He grimaced and said the refresh would be going to an electronic toggle lever due to space savings in the console. But…
