At least on the Prius, if the battery in the fob goes dead, you tap the key on the starter button.

6 months ago I was riding in the bike lane and someone cut me off to make a right turn, illegally (didn't signal or merge into the bike lane first.) Only because I screamed "HEY!" while slamming on the brakes, and her passenger side window was down, did I avoid getting hooked.

What a complete waste of money start to finish. And at the end of the day, we're paying for this superbowl commercial, which does little more than say "look at the trillions of dollars of you're money we're getting because we bribed congress."

Most dealer inventory is not on Autotrader or Cars.com. Using a search of those sites is pretty pointless in terms of metrics.

2 minutes in, Mom & Dad, I'm guessing? He looks like he's totally loving both the acceleration and Mom's reaction.

Great to see BMW forging new territory in terms of turbocharged, all-wheel-drive high performance luxury sedans!

Uhhhhh, no...driving will warm up the catalytic converter faster. Also, many cars have air injection/bypass/recirc systems to get the cat heated up quicker when cold.

Who said anything about "revving to the moon"?

Anywhere you're seeing "minus forty", you should be running appropriate fluid weights for that temperature.

Camped out in the left lane illegally (which is probably why the cars started to pass him on the right, and why she was impatient) and yakking on the phone to his wife. Guy was probably completely zoned out; after the red car pulls in front, it takes him FIVE SECONDS to start braking (you can hear the jake brake.)

Impressive in part because there's apparently no safety. After a string of crashes that killed a lot of spectators, at least in the US there are some pretty strict rules as to where your routine can be. Basically, at no time can your plane be pointed at or traveling in the direction of the crowd.

Is it your mission to post the most inane, obvious comment you possibly can every time?

Sergio let out a deep sigh as he looked down at the engine.

The tail is damaged from the plane rolling in the field...

Does Geo always take 5 times longer than necessary to tell something to someone, while speaking in a very condescending voice?

Not particularly fast (it's massively heavy), the suspension is infamously unreliable (the left and right sides are hydraulically linked. "Fails coming home from being repaired at the dealer" levels of unreliability), the trunk is near useless (they just tossed the battery in, threw a piece of carpet over it and said

Aaaaand what percentage of its time do you think that truck spends moving? Or going over 15mph?

It's not intriguing; an engine that size in such a small car seriously fucks up the weight balance. You could also buy two used M3's, tune one to similar HP numbers, turn the other into a track car, and still have some money for a cheap tow vehicle and trailer.

Except that increased surface area would increase the heat transfer from sunlight...

The Swedes claim that the purpose of their autonomous drive functions is not to make it easier for people tweet or read newspapers behind the steering wheel, but to keep occupants safe day and night, and in situations where the human eye's range is just not good enough.
