I just did this for the first time a month ago. My flight back home from Amsterdam got canceled due to a mechanical issue, and I was bumped back a day. Once I got home, I sent customer service an email citing the EU law, and got an email back saying they were happy to either mail me the $670 check, or give me a…

I agree... but I really just wanted to point out how terrible that green color was.

Me too... but not that green!

I always thought it looked faded.

Case-in-point, I bought a Mustang GT from CarMax several years ago. It was $10k less than every other Mustang GT of the same year, mileage, and options, both on and off their lot. The difference was that the car had been on the lot for 90 days...

I really hope that Ford takes note of how quickly the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison sold out for 2019, and re-evaluates their decision not to bring the Ranger Raptor stateside...

For all the shit we tend to give driver assist software these days, can we just take a step back for a moment and appreciate how cool the technology is? Watching this SUV avoid all those collisions all by itself is pretty fucking cool. Cars have come a long way.

It's a rolling experiment. Not a Ferrari.

As someone with an aerospace engineering degree, I can all but guarantee that his aerodynamic improvements have netted him way more than a 1-2% decrease in aerodynamic drag. Mirrors alone on a vehicle can be responsible for several percentage points of the overall drag. This is an older Prius. It has a higher Cd than…

Engineers are excellent at optimizing airflow, but they also have to do so while staying within the confines of typical automotive design. I can guarantee you that the vehicle you see is likely significantly more aerodynamically efficient than the standard one, since he didn’t have to worry about things like, “We need…

I agree on the safety aspect. I was more referring to people just shit-talking the concept thinking he was somehow doing it out of necessity or stinginess.

My guess, seeing as the windows are WHITED out, rather than blacked out, is that he is trying to block/reflect as much sunlight as possible to reduce the need to…

I assume this is a sarcastic reply meant to mimic a typical FB response? Lol.

This thing has been making the rounds in all of the FB car groups, and it’s amazing how many people immediately jump down the guy’s throat with comments poking fun at someone who apparently can’t afford gas for the car, or is too stingy if a Prius isn’t economical enough for him.

What the fuck, people. This is awesome.…

I didn’t either, until this happened and I Googled it. They have the same authority as a regular cop, apparently.

I’m picturing how my BRZ would handle if I packed 2,000 lb of exercise weights into it. Yuck.

I caught this insta-karma on my dashcam here in Chicago a few months ago:

ABS, by and large, is MUCH more similar across vehicles than the other systems I described. There may be nuances to how they operate depending on who the ABS supplier is, and the differences in how they are programmed, but for the most part, ABS functions very similarly on all vehicles.

My understanding is that people put them on luggage.

My understanding is that people put them on luggage.

Counterpoint: Things like ABS are standardized because, by and large, they do exactly the same thing on every vehicle.

More advanced systems are harder to standardize, because they don’t always behave the same. Some adaptive cruise control systems only slow to a certain threshold. Some stop. Some will accelerate from a…

Almost as pointless as camo-wrapping a new 911...
