Anyone else see a positive in this? I'd much rather they unlock my car where I have nothing of significant value as opposed to smashing the window. The f-ing window glass and labor costs more than my radio.

That made me think of George Carlin's discussion of "a near miss":

My first thought is that if I were a judge I would make vertical video inadmissible in criminal trials.

Anyone else wonder if the white car at 0:58 was a casualty of a previous attempt?

I'm surprised that Fiat came up with this before Tesla did. This seems like a much better solution to the range anxiety problem. I honestly have a pretty good sense of when I'd need to take the car outside of its range, and this would address the majority of those difficulties.

If you actively mislead someone about your intentions, then maybe there is an argument you got it under false pretenses. (Karmically, not legally.) For example, a professed love of the vehicle might get you a better price.

I sold an old car to a kid for less money because they knew something about it and had all these…

Hmmmm.... seems like Murano product erosion.

This makes me weep for my future repair costs, even without the manual.

I just called a guy that works on them to ask if you were getting screwed, and he says it can take 8-hours of labor (!!!) to get it done, and the part alone is something like $1500. Mother of God.

Looks too Jetta.

Of course, that may be spite. As a current A3 owner, I can say that their decision to kill the compact wagon will be what drives me to another car brand after I get rid of my A3. Not the expensive repairs. Not the lack of manual transmission. Not the fact that when you say you drive an Audi,…

Awwww, look at the 12. So full.

...the fewer? Oh. This is something else. I'll be in the basement.....

Hey, they said it would be painful, and government agencies need to make sure that the impact won't contradict what they said it would be.

Are we really going to bash the EMB-120 for failing apart because someone failed to bolt it back together? That is like blaming my Xterra for brake failure when the mechanic forgot to close the bleeder valves. That is a maintenance issue, not a design issue. Here's a quick aircraft maintenance tip: if you have…

(And, yes, I know he said apart from the engine, but I'm trying to distinguish all the other stuff in there.)

For me, the real beauty is in the engine bay. Unlike many of its semi-contemporary supercars out there, such as the Carrera GT, the R8, or the Veyron, whose engines are hidden beneath shrouds of carbon fiber and aluminum cowlings, the Enzo's engine bay exudes engineering pedigree. It reminds me of cars like the…

Agreed that they are not key marks. I'm just thinking about his job. If Ford is going to lend him more trucks, it helps if it is hit-and-run as opposed to a botched left. (Although, it isn't the first time a press-car has gotten a little banged up. I seem to remember reading about a writer missing a downshift in a…

I was told when I bought my first bike to watch out because you have to think of yourself as invisible to the other drivers. I quickly found out that it was much worse: they were actively trying to kill me.

Hey guys, it is a borrowed truck. Give him the benefit of the doubt. The V-shapes could be someone backing into him, and then pulling forward to drive away.

Does not look like a keying. Much more like someone tried to push something past your truck or had something on their car and rubbed you.

Ugh. Don't ask me why I know this, but, the one she received as a "gift" was yellow. Her "new" one is white. (It is very possible that the yellow one was a"two-year" gift until the lease ran out, since they were only leased at the beginning.)
