“Torque is more important than horsepower.”

I think my personal favorite has to be the office chair mod

Right, the distance isn’t what’s so impressive. It’s the location.

That doesn’t cut it around here, I’m afraid. Almost all my driving is interstate (joys of central KS) so that AC does little to combat all the air around the car.

If any industry needs help or an advantage, it sure as heck isn’t fossil fuels.

Pro-tip for anyone not in the know: depress the little paddle/lever that the pump handle depresses when you hang it back up.

They seem to ignore that a truly good feature shouldn’t need you to “know how to use it”.  I think auto stop/start certainly has a place, but it also should certainly be able to be permanently disabled for those of us who live in areas where the feature makes little sense (hi from a rural state!).

I envy those of you who have climates that let you enjoy a convertible more than about 4-6 weeks out of the year. For me a convertible is just a source of more wind noise and extra heat in the cabin when it’s 90F+ outside.

Steer-by-wire isn’t a horrible idea, but it sounds like Lexus really did a poor job in implementing it all for the sake of using a yoke and severely limiting how far it needs to be turned.

Someone will surely herald the HHR as a great vehicle, but the HHR SS gets my nod for misplaced performance engines.

My big beef with subscriptions is a manufacturer can basically choose at any time to stop supporting it. You could have a ten year old car and should they decide to turn off the service managing your subscriptions those features are now dead. The older the car comes the more likely it will happen.

My only legit complaint about ASS in our Cadi is that it likes to shut the engine off while we’re creeping in that last foot or so in the garage. Apparently it was too much effort to have ASS observe the parking sensors and assume we’re creeping into position rather than think the car has come to a complete stop.

I see what you’re saying and agree the 170 limit is Norfolk Southern policy; I should have been more specific when I stated that. That said I still feel it’s a big stretch to say the train was on fire when it was just at 103 above ambient.

Seems like an awful large stretch to say the “train was already on fire” just because a hub detector indicated a bearing was warm 20 miles before derailment.

So when the lady in the video says, “Send the ball to our NBA test facility in Ada, Ohio, where they would put the ball through rigorous testing”, I guess she meant they just looked at it? It would appear the printed ball went through some post processing (the smoothing process) that must have changed the mechanical…

Teaching my wife to drive a manual. It required so much of her focus that she would routinely ignore traffic laws. Like stopping.

I’ve yet to own a car that didn’t and that is about 12 cars that have ranged from ‘82 to ‘19. Regardless I would think cars that don’t engage the AC with defrost would be the rarity.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Chris’ voice, but that doesn’t change that he was a poor choice for voicing Mario. This whole movie is a massive nostalgia grab and yet it completely abolishes the voice/accent that seals the whole deal; it’s honestly a bit baffling.

I think my vote would have to be our local Chevy dealer, Conklin Cars. They had a Cadillac SRX I was interested in. I tried low-balling them and they met me somewhere in the middle, but we were waiting on tax returns to help with the down payment so I wasn’t in a rush to seal the deal that day and despite a little…

While I haven’t had the pleasure of buying from Davis-Moore yet, I do have a coworker who couldn’t praise them enough and has purchased multiple vehicles through them.
