Why?

As a new Sprint customer, I’m convinced it has to be Sprint. #IGreatlyRegretMyDecision

Well if you always signal, then you won't have any issues :)

I dunno. I assume you're doing something wrong if those systems are always nagging you. I've driven a 2018 Subaru with the latest suite of everything and the only time it bothered me was when I intentionally did something dumb.

That still doesn’t explain why they decided to keep that section solid plastic instead of glass, though. Even if they did move it for a different reason.

The biggest offender in this design is that they relocated the mirrors to the door body, but then just filled that triangular area of the window in with BLACK FUCKING PLASTIC!!! The whole fucking point of door-mounted mirrors is to allow you to make that area out of stuff you can see through, like glass, and reduce

Hence why I’m not funding it. But there are plenty of people capable of funding this project, and still paying rent!

To know that you funded a project that has captivated so many people around the globe, and been the passion project of a great many students and engineers for years. To know that you helped a team breach the land speed record in a big way.

Not everything needs a material “return on investment!” People don’t donate to

I did that before buying a BRZ. I was already pretty certain I wanted it, but I was coming from an Outback, and wasn’t 100% certain if I’d be happy with the much lower ride height, and overall ride. I guess I got lucky, but the dealership was more than happy to let me take the car out for an hour or two on my own. I

Dafuq.

People will throw hundreds of millions of dollars at the stupidest fucking Kickstarter campaigns every day. It honestly never even crossed my mind that these guys wouldn’t get the comparatively small $33 million they needed to keep going. How disappointing. C’mon, rich people. Get your shit together!

Haha. I’ve driven a Flexible, and a Fishbowl as well! I used to drive for the Commonwealth Coach and Trolley Museum, so I would occasionally sign up to drive an old bus for a wedding or something on a weekend. The day I drove the Fishbowl, I had to make a u-turn on a two-lane back country road by reversing it into

If you use your turn signal the way you are supposed to, the seat shouldn’t vibrate when you change lanes. Lane departure warning systems expect a lane change when you use your turn signal.

I have no problem with the little indicator on the mirror that lets you know a vehicle has moved into your blind spot. They aren’t

This is a feature that always looked okay when designed properly, but which can really look fucking awesome with modern lighting tech. LEDs, and materials that properly, and evenly, distribute the light make a world of a difference. I like this new trend. I think they look cool (most of the time.)

Most vehicles allow you to disable them if you insist on tailgating.

No. That’s not what I’m saying. Where did I say that?

No. My position is that pedestrian safety shouldn’t rate so highly that a vehicle with otherwise good crash test results in a myriad of other categories ends up with a one star rating overall.

I just got back from Europe two weeks ago. Honestly, I completely forgot we were talking about EURO crash ratings. I’ll admit pedestrian safety is a bit more important over then than it is over here.

That’s a fair point.

The problem is that the vast majority of collisions do not involve pedestrians. So to give a vehicle a very low crash rating for the least common of scenarios, when it might actually be excellent at protecting occupants the rest of the time, is a bit misleading.

How would you like it if I told people that you were an
