Go back a re-read the first 6 words of my comment, please. I said I was not defending his actions, my point was about the judge saying “It’s one of the busiest streets in Darwin...”

Not to defend him or anything, but it’s not as if this was during mid day traffic or anything.

I’ll stand by the fact that my fiance’s CRV is the perfect car for her. It’s super practical, holds a ton of stuff, is comfortable, gets decent mileage, has a nice high load floor, and has been as reliable as a car can be for 160k miles.

Very true.

True, even 16" wheels these days can’t fit over a lot of modern brakes.

Nice! I have a 2.7 Allroad.

Still in love with my 300ZX’s interior...

This. Fucking nailed it.

The good thing about this is that it’s not wired into anything. They plug into the connector on the back where your trailer would plug in.

Do you have a C5 A6, by chance?

People have been saying that about every single significant technological advancement since the dawn of the automobile. I always point back to my beloved grandfather who swore up and down that he would never buy one of those newfangled overcomplicated fuel injected cars.

Blame efficiency regulations.

As a consumer, what’s wrong with choice?

Some guys on the forums have already made one with the needed resistors to trick the system. I think one guy is trying to put them into production.

I’ve only experienced it in a manual car so far (rental Fiat 500x when visiting the UK), but it was completely unobtrusive for me. It only turned off the engine if you were in neutral with the clutch out, and then it starts up as soon as you push the clutch in, and it’s had plenty of time to get ready by the time you…

Cars pollute more on start-up only because the catalytic converters haven’t heated up. When starting off at a light after you’ve been driving, they will still be well with in their efficient temperature range.

And my grandpa swore he would never buy a car with that newfangled fuel injection nonsense that they’re putting in cars these days.

And I miss my black FoST ST3 some days. Like once a week or so.

Really? I feel the exact opposite, I think they look very expensive.

...I like it.
