I have heard about dibs and how serious it is. So, sounds like this Oates guy needs to take a snow blower to the whole block - problem solved!

Nothing like seeing someone get out of their car yelling at you, you get out and then they apologize and walk away.

Kind of what I was thinking. This is where, in my case, it pays to be a 6 foot 300 pound man.

Yeah my biggest pet peeve is forcing anything with a turbo option to also have leather seats. I hate leather seats, mainly because I have destroyed leather seats in the past with ski poles and the like. 

I think this has more to do with school bus manufacturer contractors feeling the heat and getting their lobbyists involved than any actual threat to children from an 8 mph autonomous bus.

Some will likely say you’ll be waiting a long time. But I have to believe that once the 35K variant does come out, you’ll see depreciation of the more expensive models with more features not long after that because up to that point they all had a higher entry point. Lowering that entry point, I believe, should…

I just inadvertently did this myself. I had to do some training for our 3rd shift team so I worked my normal shift, went home and tried to sleep but couldn’t and went back in to work the entire 3rd shift as well. By the time I got home at 8:30 AM I had been up more than 26 hours and I really did start to get loopy. I…

Funny, I’d be happy driving a car formerly driven by Torch... But royalty too? Where do I sign up?

I have to say, if it were me, I’d go for that Raptor. Although that Ranchero is a beauty!

OK since you said he’s fine I can laugh at the 2 funniest things... 1) the way the car disappears off camera leaving a hubcap behind and 2) the guy sweeping the floor in the shop as he slowly walks out toward the wreck, broom in hand.

But, autonomous cars will never have accidents?!?

Glad I’m not the only one who does that. My wife says it doesn’t work for her at all but most times I barely get to 70 before I am out cold.

I just saw a show where some dude who owns a real 1961 Ferrari GT California is having a replica made so he can drive that around town. Basically he doesn’t want to drive his ride valued at 30 million so he paid this shop a million to build a replica for him... what a nice problem to have eh?

The last point is especially right in terms of those higher volume dealers. I thought I would try to do my most recent car deal with a dealer in a more rural area but they just could not meet the price that I thought they should easily meet. Went to a higher volume dealer in the city and they didn’t even bat an eye,…

Yeah that is the birthplace indeed. Part of my commute is in Gahanna and they’re newer to the roundabout game and people are just going too fast through them to be as safe as they were designed to be. Some of them are too small to signal properly, agreed. I have seen some larger ones that work quite well because you…

You must not be in Columbus. You’d see the flipside of people flying through roundabouts without ever signaling which exit they want.

For my high school grad gift (in 1991, sigh) I was given the 1980 Camaro that I’d been driving for a year. Does that count? Sold it in 92 when I got myself an 86 Iroc Z with T-Tops, a gift to myself!

His name is epic failure, what did you expect? 

I demand to test drive alone or I walk.

Worst test drive ever was after the drive actually. I had just pulled back up to the dealership after test driving a 1992 Chevy Beretta GT and we were just about to sit down when I looked outside because I heard the beeping of a truck backing up. I screamed “NO” and ran outside as I watched another salesperson back a…
