Verizon's main voice network (CDMA) doesn't use SIM cards. Same goes for Sprint. The GSM systems (AT&T, T-Mobile) use SIM cards, as do a bunch of other virtual carriers that piggyback on AT&T and T-Mobile's network. I don't have an LTE phone, so I don't know for sure, but that may be why Verizon includes them now on a…

Neutral: I'd buy a car without a steering wheel. I do really love to drive, so I don't think I'd ever not have a car I could drive myself. However, I do enjoy a good train trip and I like how I don't have to pay any attention to making sure it stays on course. I like looking out the windows and seeing the world, I…

Can't blame Toyota too much. Sure, their designs are boring enough to put the drivers into a near-coma state, but I think that reflects mostly on the people who buy them and how they would prefer to tune out the world of driving rather than be an active part of it. They will be driving something regardless, and would…

Neutral: I'm all for American companies playing in China as long as they keep the engineering and design state-side. I would prefer we do assembly here as well and export to China, but with tariffs and trade restrictions on imports, that is a tough nut to swallow when they have to compete with the Chinese domestics.…

My friend has a 4-door SS, but his is turbocharged, not supercharged. I think they only offered the turbo SS one year. Still goes like hell.

The only thing missing in that Subaru picture is a golden retriever. Otherwise it checks all of the Subaru boxes.

Neutral: I really dislike crash avoidance systems. We already have problems with distracted driving, and now people are going to get even more nonchalant about their driving. These bad habits can transfer to other cars (driving a friend's car, rentals in other cities, etc.) that probably won't have these systems,…

I can only imagine how bad the weight balancing is on this thing now. That heavy weight up front will probably help the body roll issues (Suzukis were always the poster child for SUV rollover demonstrations), if the drive is going aft, I have to think that the wheels are barely on the ground. That said...NP. May as…

I-96 is nearly the same way. And they in fact are going to fix it...by shutting down the highway for an entire year. At least they're wising up and doing the right thing, but damn is it going to suck for anyone trying to use 696.

I'm sorry, but Notre Dame is highly overrated. Can we throw away the legacy/history card on this one? They're terrible. They didn't do well against Purdue (who nearly lost to Indiana State) and lost to a team that could barely beat Akron. The ND defense gets smoked for 5 TDs while Akron can take 3 INTs and a fumble…

I have to put my vote in for the Austin exit on the WB Eisenhower (I-290) in Chicago/Oak Park. It's less the exit itself, but the mayhem it causes on the highway beneath it. It is on the left, going against most standard practice, and it also removes a lane (4 lanes to 3) on one of the busiest thoroughfares in…

I end up just going on to Newburgh and getting on 275-N at 7 mile. (left turn lane there, as opposed to the Michigan Left to go WB on 6-mile back to 275)

Honestly, it's probably a lot less. There's a lot of space in engine blocks. I'd peg this one around 30 lbs, and I think I'm being generous.

Agreed. I've met some extremely talented engineers at all OEMs. The thing that keeps them from persevering is having to convince multiple committees to make design decisions (and where they believe that any change is expensive, even if it isn't, and is populated with people that know nothing about engineering) whereas…

diesel in your oil - they're probably doing a catalyst regen with a rich burn in the cylinder as opposed to a fuel doser in the exhaust. Leads to a lot of fuel blowby. Part of the effort to get by without SCR, I'm afraid.

The swap looks pretty clean, but this price is only good if it was an LS swap, not an LT. Also, with the frame, god knows what this guy has taken it through. CP.

Ford built it and built the bombers, but I think GM took it over later on to build transmissions. (Kind of like how GM built the B-24 engine plant in Melrose Park, IL, and then International Harvester took it over after the war.)

Neutral: Until we get a good selection of wagons and/or affordable diesel engines to choose from state-side, we can't let up on anybody.

The 2014 Corolla: When you only care about the destination.

Had a government decided to budget for preventative simulations. I can't think of any government that would go back and check any of this.
