I think those are actually alloy wheels; could be mistaken.  They sure do look awesome, though!  

I *regularly* see people driving around after dark with no headlights on. Not even DRLs, just nothing. How they manage to survive the day without choking to death on their own tongues, I have no idea. I try to give them a flick of my highbeams to remind them to turn on their lights, because apparently not being able

Putting your headlights on when it’s raining is a genuinely good idea, though. Visibility is worse, stopping distances are longer—why wouldn’t you want other drivers to be able to see you easily?

Weren’t all of those Nissan vans bought back and scrapped? I seem to remember reading that, for the American market, they used a larger engine, but that resulted in a heavily-compromised engine compartment, and there issues were discovered related to overheating and fires.

That type of seating only looks comfortable, it’s actually quite awful. The ‘92 Olds 88 I learned to drive on had bench seating at the same layout, and it was awkward as hell. The headrests come up to the bottom of your shoulders, meaning they are useless as headrests. The bench doesn’t keep you in place, so any turns

The photographer is the guy standing next to the guy with the floodlights, not the surveyor. Floodlight guy is the photographer’s lighting assistant.

I’m more a fan of the blue myself.

In a future release, any connection to a Wi-Fi network using these old ciphers will be disallowed.

Nah, the Mustang II was a much better car. The Maverick was a 1960 Falcon with fresh sheetmetal, the Mustang II had a better suspension and engine choices.

This is the first design in a decade where I feel like Honda ‘gets it’. No garish vents or chunky-cheap lines, just a clean style with elegant details that compliment function and aren’t afraid to be a little cute.

I thought the third gen was ugly, and that the spy shots for the new one were even worse, but the actual car looks somewhat better than the third gen to me. Especially the version with the grille-less front. It’s surprisingly devoid of unnecessary non-functional scoops and vents for a modern Honda.  Hopefully that

Me. For whatever reason, I always loved the look of this car.

The very LAST thing my parents were ever concerned with was how comfortable my brother and I were in the car. We were lucky to be getting a ride somewhere at all - my parents were NOT in the kid taxi business. We could like it or lump it. And complaining would result in a swat at best or in one case, a long, cold walk

Possibly a more pressing question: what are you doing snooping on your partner's phone?

I’m a 64-year-old American from Ohio, and back in my childhood when I was learning how to speak everyone around me pronounced “data” as “day-tuh,” particularly in the phrase “data processing.” If you said “dah-tuh” people took it you were talking about a school of modern art involving urinals that had been autographed

You’re right.

I’ve long accepted vertical video, portrait is hardly a new thing and it suits some types of video. Why should video be constrained based on the outdated idea that all devices are immovable landscape boxes.

I’m so tired of these bright headlights that keep blind while driving at night. It’s so bad that I have to wear night time glasses because of how stupidly bright car headlights have become.

Supposedly, artificial banana flavor is based on how Gros Michel bananas tasted rather than the Cavendish.

Yeah, I can totally relate to being so successful and in so many projects that I can’t keep them straight.
