In my experience, placement towards the right is more common than exactly in the center, so expect to find it there on other brands and models, too. When vehicles are new, there is usually a decal on the garnish indicating where the button is; some vehicles have an embossed mark. And of course some brands use the rear…

“if you lose the remote, you won’t be able to control the power”

It was apparently their choice not to submit it, using a shorter clip. “Ineligible” is a mischaracterization of the circumstances. Presumably the voters, being professionals in the field, would understand the clip was not the entire sequence. Almost all of the categories have some type of limit on the submission.

“Volvo has Volvo Trucks”. Not exactly. AB Volvo is Volvo trucks, buses, and construction equipment. Volvo Cars is a different company with different ownership that shares the logo and museum of its previous affiliate, and nothing else. When Volvo Cars was last for sale, AB Volvo was uninterested.

Olivia Colman has sometimes showed up on the Graham Norton Show unable to remember what project she’s there to promote, or who she played. That all occurred last year (or even longer ago), and she’s thinking about what she’s working on now, in between dealing with her family.

To quote Broadcast News, way to blow the lid off nookie. I don’t know what rock Jalopnik has been living under the past decade, but the fact that emissions credit sales is a major source of Tesla’s revenues, and in some quarters their principal source of profit, has been reported for years. The information which is…

Those wheels weren’t exclusive to the GTI; they were standard on multiple VW models, including this one and the Cabriolet.

Moon and Mars actually play each other in some scholastic sports. There is also a Venus, PA, a short drive away from Oil City.

Next up, ball of celestial flames discovered rising in the east.

Even the reference video concedes that even if its production was delayed, the TC was designed first, so the TC cannot be a “tarted up” LeBaron; the LeBaron was a decontented TC knockoff. A few years later, Nissan at least managed to introduce the 1993 “Stanza” Altima (JDM Bluebird) months after the Infiniti J30 (JDM…

Ford was cashing in on a TV series five years before the series existed? That is an 8-year-old’s logic. They were attempting to capture some of the money going to aftermarket conversion shops, after the fad had already peaked.

I think it is mostly random error or misunderstanding, as I also find cars marked as automatics that clearly show manuals in their photos. And on Sundays when I entertain myself kicking used car tires at closed dealerships, I’ve seen the wrong type of transmission listed on the dealer’s own summary sticker, numerous…

34th anniversary tomorrow

It’s silly, but the availability of US methane exports is viewed even by some sensible people as mitigating the threat should Russia slow methane exports to Ukraine and other parts of Europe, even though that supply can’t be entirely replaced. And don’t forget that methane isn’t solely a fuel, it is a major (in the…

GM and Chrysler’s failure to plan for the last recession before it actually happened is a big reason why they went bankrupt. History is littered with automobile brands for which things looked sweet in a boom, and then they disappeared shortly into or after the next contraction.

HOAs are not that common here, except in some newer developments, but most municipal governments have codes concerning property maintenance (which falls under health and safety) including a maximum grass height (e. g. 6" around the house site, letting meadows grow on outparcels is usually OK and common). A complaint…

They taste like meat to me; they do not taste like beef, which I think is the problem for some people. I’d pick Beyond over ground turkey, though. And the cooking instructions, probably designed to prevent drying out too much, leave it rather “rare” in appearance and texture, which some people don’t like.

Possibly because because people who actually bought manuals bought the GTs, while the Sports sat in place for months. Selling cars makes money, storing unsold cars you owe money on does not.

Bedford was Vauxhall’s commercial vehicle (aka truck) subsidiary. Apparently since Vauxhall itself only offered the Viva as a 2-door saloon, someone decided there was a market for converting the Bedford panel van version into an estate car.

The extra $750 upgrade bonus doesn’t seem to be available in all areas of the country right now. OTOH, in some regions the 2018 incentive is $2500 on the sedan and $3000 on the 5-door.
