Way to spoil a movie that’s like 6 months old.

Except, when it comes to the Chinese government. They will fuck us at every opportunity and will continue to do so via intellectual property theft, currency manipulation, state sponsored espionage, and any number of other methods they can think of to take advantage of us.

1st. Gear: Normally I would be on the side of governments letting free trade do it’s thing and leave private enterprise to the laws of supply and demand.

I had a Spark or Sonic or Aveo (I’m not sure which, I can’t tell them apart) rental car back in 2015. It was the worst car I’ve ever driven. Struggled to maintain speed up mountains. I don’t think I could get it over about 74mph on the interstate. Complete garbage. I don’t expect the Mirage is any better.

One time, back when I was a cop, I stopped this crime ring that was boosting DVD players and car stereos. Long story short, I wound up JOINING the group family and traveling the world committing/stopping crimes. Then I had a kid and they stopped inviting me to the jobs. Kids ruin everything.

Anyone who’s childhood bedroom wall featured a poster of this:

In the end, though, December is over and the first thing I did in the New Year was take my 912E for a very loud and very gasoline-powered drive.

- Flying cars will be “only” 3 years away

Pedestrian injuries did fall 80 percent — from 16 to 3 — during the police crackdown, which ended on July 26, but bike injuries didn’t budge, Hofmann said. The operation focused on dangerous driver behaviors, such as speeding and failure to yield.

... So she still died of severe asthma she suffered from since birth, but now they’re blaming pollution years later because politics have changed?
This is more an extreme example of moving the goalpost than a damning indictment on man-made pollution.
Also: this clickbait belongs on that Earther rag, not Jalopnik. 

Conspicuously absent from this story are the numbers that matter; how many kids have been killed and how many have been injured in side-impact crashes because of these supposedly lax standards? I ask this as a parent with a 4-year-old in a booster and 10-year-old who is getting close to being big enough to ride in the…

the only thing I am one hundred percent sure of is that the Volkswagen ID.4 will be a complete flop in the US.

You forgot one.

Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.

1) Great lap by George for sure

Obviously the mask will make their visors fog up. Not ideal at speed.

A more environmentally friendly way to crash into crowds?

Hasn’t like half of the Jalopnik staff written articles about large trips they’ve taken during the pandemic?

You people? Some of these loathsome and vile people that have to travel over the holidays have a reason other than stuffing the mouths full of stuffing with their kin. College students that are heading home as universities shut down until after the new year and people that have to normally travel for business heading…

So, Tesla intends their cars to fail after 10-12 years. Good to know if you’re thinking of buying one used. The youngest car in my personal fleet is 17 years old and all my machines work perfectly fine, so a 10-12 year intended service life seems remarkably shitty.
