I went to a Cadillac dealership this weekend to check out some ATSes and ATS-Vs as potential replacements for my diesel A3 in case I end up turning it in later this year. I didn’t drive any of them yet (the only ATS-V they had was on the show floor, and the only ATSes they had were the base 2.5L 4-cyl ones; no 2.0…

Pressure to be the first (by even a few seconds) of a thousand outlets to report tends to have a negative effect on fact checking.

Honestly, this is the first I’ve ever heard that childhood friends getting married is somehow strange. Most people I know think it’s sweet. How do I know this? I’ve been friends with my two oldest friends since kindergarten, and I was the one who officiated their wedding about a year ago. That’s right, two people who…

Some of these cosplays are just......bad.

I’ll add that to the long list of reasons I don’t live in SF..

yeah, 4 of the top 8 are DC suburbs. They would be TERRIBLE places to retire. Cost of living is very high, traffic is insane. Does a 75 yr old person want to deal with traffic, fighting for a parking spot, and waiting 30 minutes for a table? No, they want to stroll into applebees and get seated immediately.

What a stupid shifter design...not because it doesn’t work as designed, mind you, but that it wasn’t designed for its intended audience: human beings who have shifted automatics one way all their lives.

Have a parent/grand parent, teach yourself, be married to a teacher, or have a good friend that is a teacher. Then get back to me. My entire family including my wife are or have been teachers. The amount of shit they put the verbal abuse they take from students, parents, and the administration is astronomical. There…

It’s not actually UT’s policy though, it’s state law, which has made the top universities (UT and A&M) basically impossible to get in if you don’t meet the percentage. UT has to get a legal exemption every year because they literally don’t have the capacity to accept the number of top 10% of graduates that apply, only…

Except....this is a Republic, not a Democracy.

Hi, I make my modest living working for a company that produces executive jets. I’m glad society supports their existence because it’s nice to put food on my table.

Anton Yelchin’s death has really upset me, and I can see how this happened. Especially if he was in a hurry.

The chime issue bothers me too. If I leave the engine running while I go to grab the mail or whatever, I’m probably going to ignore those chimes because I’m assuming that they’re going off on account some combination of the door being ajar, the key being in the ignition, my seat belt being disconnected, the lights…

I really disliked this shifter when I test drove a 2012 Charger, the lack of a positive engagement in each gear wasn’t something I was happy about. The dial in the 300 is pretty awful too for the same reason. In either case, the driver probably shouldn’t be required to look at the shifter to confirm they are in the…

I have a 2015 JGC and can see how this occurred. The shifter is easy to use but if you are not paying attention, you can most certainly put the car in reverse or neutral and not realize it.

I'm assuming that's because the Audi engages the electronic parking brake if you exit the vehicle without putting in park, just like the BMW shifter of the same/similar design.

His name was Odd Thomas. :(

The last thing FCA wants is a high profile death.

Andrew, it’s the shifter that is confusing on these Grand Cherokees, not the parking brake.

A basic human right? Wow. You guys can take something as simple as bottle water and turn it into some bull-shit bleeding-heart liberal human rights cause. Giz has gone so far downhill recently it's appalling.
