Honestly? Cameras at every stop light. If you blow through a red light, you’re getting an automatic ticket. If this was put into place (and assuming there’d be systems in place to make the appeals process difficult), people would stop. doing. this.

My understanding is that Toyota allocates models/trims to their 12 US regions based on a model using previous sales data to predict demand, and for the most part, dealers get what Toyota tells them that they get. Dealers can request vehicles and trims, but if there are only X amount for that region, and they’re…

This person has created a Venn diagram with many circles that in no way overlap. I think she needs to find the nicest Toyota Solara V-6 convertible out there, and call it close enough.

My dad owned the original Dart, back before I was born and I remember riding in it until I was maybe 9 or 10. When this new generation was introduced the US auto industry had just gone through some really hard times and I had just bought a GTI. For a while I felt a little guilty buying a VW when US makers needed my…

I thought you were going to say “none of them, because people don’t actually want advice they just want you to confirm what they already were going to get”.

See, now I think you’re just trying to mess with me!  A turn signal??  Must be going straight.

Exception for factory equipment granted.

This is a new thing, and I’ve been seeing it everywhere, student driver bumper stickers on obviously not student driver vehicles. I don’t get the joke, and you’re an asshole. 

GM cars using the reverse lights when the car is unlocked.

Stancing. Stupid, ugly, dangerous. First off, tires aren’t designed to be driven on diagonally. Secondly, you’re concentrating all your wear on one tiny band, which drastically increases wear and the potential for blowouts. Third, your contact patch is now smaller than a fucking bicycle, so you’ve lost all ability to…

“Hey, if the FAA wants to actually be able to tell airplanes what they can and can’t do, then it’s up to Congress to create those rules, in accord with the Founding Fathers’ vision of air travel.”

This truck’s actual utility is informing those around you that you are a d-bag. 

That is how I feel about my 350Z sometimes. Wonderful drive train but the damned doors won’t stay open. Be quick or have sore shins. Also, a large percentage of the switches don’t work and you can’t reset the low tire pressure warning.

I have a fantastic mechanic who will tell me what I need, but also what I don’t. I keep a spreadsheet because Honda messed up the maintenance minder when it was under warranty. I’m religious about my Fit’s  maintenance.

Eons ago my parents made me buy our “little old lady’s car” from our next door neighbor because they wanted me to have something more reliable than my 76' Capri. This was 84 and it was a 71 Pontiac Ventura with 23K miles on it and a 307 V8 under the hood. Literally only driven to the store and back and one trip to the…

No permanent Double Decker? Not interested. I will die on this fucking hill.

My new Lexus takes that into account. There are times when sitting at the light that it will show a message that the start/stop system has been temporarily disabled so that it can meet the needs of the climate control system.

Go to bed, Little Timmy, no one cares. 

Yep, I do think this particular feature is fantastic...

The smoke from the fire is the main factor on closing the airport entirely.
