which cell phone manufacturers could solve tomorrow with an over-the-air update restricting drivers to emergency calls and music apps when driving

I read it in full. You’re advocating for vehicle inspections, ignition interlocks, and even more vehicle regulations that do nothing but make cars more bland and more expensive.

Yeah, and each car should be tracked at all times and an automatic $250 fine should be given anytime the speed limit is breached by 1 mph, and maybe we should have the government shove cameras and trackers up all of our asses that give us a shock anytime we do anything slightly dangerous or anything they disapprove…

Lol, Paige is talking out his ass.

Because if the entry was “I have this 2017 Audi and I’m gonna keep it, just wanted to let you know!” We wouldn’t have a WCSYB column...this is for entertainment purposes. 

Remind me why there is a desire to drop a car that is paid off just because you have to pay for normal maintenance? US materialism and privilege at its finest. 

Lawyers typically get 30% of a settlement, correct?

Besides little details here and there, pretty much all new cars (especially small SUV/crossovers) look the same. Unless they were specifically meaning the Canoo wagon thing. That looks like a potato, and I’m here for it. 😄

Or the obvious answer, a Tesla Model 3 Performance

This town is just like a shell company to buy and sell city cars... but where do they get the tax money to even buy cars? 

Now, the whole ordeal is under investigation, including finding out just why Gordanier has appointed family members to senior positions in the town.

I’ve driven a few different CVTs.  The first was in a Mini - it was quite annoying.  Almost turned me off the CVTs entirely.  Then, I was working on a Jeep Compass, and surprisingly, it seemed to drive more like a standard automatic.  Looser torque converter I believe.  Now I have a Ford C-Max, which uses the Toyota…

Toyotas is completely different. It’s a planetary gear system.

You don’t want a crappy CVT. There is a difference. 

A then-GF and I did the ‘dying leaves’ tour through upstate NY, VT and NH sometime around 1988. After two days, I was bored out of my skull and ready to go home, or at least go to Boston for some proper pub food and maybe a Red Sox game.

That’s great and all, but it looks to still have nearly the same bullshit interior that stopped me from even considering a MK8 R after I spent 5 minutes in it. This is coming from a VAG fanboy whose had multiple VWs and grew up with a dad who had multiple VWs and Audis. Golf R’s don’t have all that much competition,…

the immobilizer is only part of the problem you can literally force the igniting cylinder to turn without the key.

I know it’s the most subjective thing... but it appears the cars of the year no longer have to pass a minimum bar of actually looking good. Every single one of the trucks looks like aggressive dog shit. The long list of crossovers either look identical to each other and boring, or look hyper-futuristic and hideous. How…

I normally just can’t with color matched wheels, but I’m struggling to imagine a different color that would look good on this thing.

As is typical of almost every Honda product, everyone claimed to hate the Element when it was new because it was either too ugly, too slow, too expensive, too uncomfortable/van-like, just based on a CR-V, not off-roady enough, the rear doors sucked, etc. and I have no reason to believe a new Element wouldn’t be…
