The fact is, he purchased the car the week before and in all likelihood was unaware of how to manually unlock the door in a panic inducing situation.

Yes. All Trailblazers, and the platform cousins, have the same type of manual door locks directly above the handle.

I'm perfectly fine with a distracted driver having this if it means they won't sideswipe or rear end me on the highway. The people who rely on a system like this, rather than using it as an emergency backup, are the same people who'd be distracted behind the wheel regardless.

It was likely a hired vehicle/company rather than one that was created by Hyundai for the commercial shoot.

There's no denying that the photo would then not "match" but at the same time, he isn't in full-on drag where you can't tell what he looks like. That's why the entire thing is so laughable because the kid doesn't really look any different without the makeup. It's obviously still him. It's essentially a big deal over…

Well...that's the thing. He DID apply as a male. The problem is that because he's male, they claim he can't wear makeup, even though makeup doesn't define someones sex/gender and he basically looks the same without it.

Nope. He identifies as a male, not as as female (in general, not just on the application). He isn't trans, just non-conforming.

He's not transgender. The article title is assuming something that isn't true. He identifies as a male, he just dresses without regard to gender norms.

I was hoping someone had a picture of our local EXT. I've seen it driving around many times but I never knew if it was actually being used for patrol or other purposes.

In your case however you not only have two incomes working toward that 20% you've also gotten promotions and raises which would theoretically bump you up the affordability list. Sure you may be saving for the same down payment but you're also making more money (making it less burdensome).

The biggest problem I see, probably for a large number of people, is the down payment. For example, Philadelphia is listed right around $200K and the minimum salary is just over $50K. However the calculation assumes a 20% down payment.

....including Volvo's own current offerings. They've had matte wood in the S80 since 2008 I believe. I strongly prefer it over the glossy stuff. I'm very happy to see they're sticking with it as an option.

It's possible they're trying to hide the actual shape of the car and it will be lower profile than expected with these pics.

This is actually quite common, at least in my district. We've had students initiate fights with teachers, the teachers attempt to defend themselves, and the parents want them fired. It's one thing if your 7 year old kid is throwing a fit but if your 15 year old son is trying to fight a teacher you don't have much room…

I don't really understand how red light cameras help rear end collisions at intersections. If anything they would seem to help with cross traffic collisions. People slamming on their brakes for yellow lights out of fear of getting a ticket would seem worse for rear end collisions.

The first angel eyes were actually just halogen bulbs routed through fiber optic rings. A single bulb for both rings which is why they are unfortunately uneven when people replace them with LEDs. I can't remember which vehicle switched to LED versions first but the 3 Series didn't make the switch until 2011.…

Yep, that would be the XC90 which is coming for 2015 (on sale date in N.A. so it may be an early 2016 model). It's supposed to go into production in late 2014 so at some point in the next few months we should see some proper mules/prototypes running around doing testing.

Thankfully they're well aware of this and won't be doing it in the future (allegedly). The XC90 was supposed to be replaced several years ago but the sale of the brand by Ford threw things off a bit and then they ended up scrapping plans and starting anew.

That isn't an XC90 unfortunately. That's another vehicle (a Range Rover I believe) using a fake Volvo style emblem across the grille to throw people off.

While it was nice when it was first released back for the 2007 model year and it's still a great value, especially used, the cars it tries to compete with (on a slightly downmarket value argument) have moved beyond where they were back in 2007. The S80 needs an update so that it can catch up and once again fit that…
