Walmart sells Mongoose too, and they’re just as bad as the Schwinns they sell. None of the old names mean anything, anymore...

I’ll just follow Orlove’s advice and steal a proper bike.

Along with the Chevy designers it appears Toyota has also found the “chamfer” option in autocad. Not as bad but still noticeable.

As a technician, I appreciate....deeply.....the amount of data that my scan tool provides me. I want to see it ALL. I want to see what the ECU sees when I press a window button, activate a dome light, or what gear is being commanded.

I also want to see freeze frame data from when your MIL illuminated. What was the…

Oh man, who the hell is going to pull 14k pounds of trailer with those 6 lug wheels?  GAH!

the camaro will be a compact crossover by then.

Let’s be real, he’s a hyper miler, he didn’t “nail the brakes,” as the brakes just turn useful kinetic energy into heat, which is waste.

In fact, I generally try to drive with some “buffer” in stop and go, leaving a bit of space…

That’s why I kind of roll my eyes when people claim Tesla doesn’t test their software enough, while traditional automakers are “fully tested”, when the reality is there is plenty of software used by automakers that run into issues when used in the real world (it just isn’t as widely reported). VW ran into similar…

Everyone thinks “Nobody wants to work anymore” , no its nobody wants to work for shit pay when the CEO is making 12 Billion a year.

2020 Mirage G4 had a base MSRP of $ 14,995. They’re literally asking double the price from new for a used Mirage.

“Fuck the motorcycle guy. He could have called the police and waited from a distance, or just gone home. The crazy lady is at fault but so is he.”

Instead, she said, dealerships now offer digital purchase options, help with financing and clean facilities during a pandemic — all of which have made the experience tolerable, even enjoyable.

Deja vu?

That may be true but also... I don’t think Toyota is especially cash-strapped.

She was shocked because it’s a wealthy area,

Just so I understand, this guy isn’t a cop or military or anything? He’s just a cosplayer?
