Something that could be accomplished by limiting the rpm’s or putting the car in limp mode or other ways that aren’t locking the car in park.

But if you died because you drove your car 180 without even your seat belt on, I’d have a hard time finding sympathy.

The best compromise would be if people would just wear their damn seat belts instead of getting themselves killed so nonsense like this isn’t necessary.

Enough that it would be an inconvenience and if you can’t see that it would be an inconvenience in these types of situations you’re just being obtuse.

I’d love this when I’m backing my car out of the garage to get it out of the way of something I’m working on, or when I move it from the driveway to the garage, or when I’m moving it to get another car out, or doing one of the million other things that don’t really require a seat belt.

If you’re the kind of person who’s always in a big hurry so you speed everywhere and weave in and out of traffic all the time, a pickup truck is probably the worst type of vehicle you could get. Still, I see it daily, particularly from the hillbillies that come to town and throw temper tantrums at every red light.

You know what else they have a lot of in Finland? Mullets. Coincidence? I think not.

In our post fact world, in spite of everyone always carrying devices that can access all of  the knowledge mankind has acquired, the truth is whatever you can get people to believe and people will believe anything they like the sound of.

Those gimmicky doors are stupid, driving without somehow noticing a door is wide open is stupid, smashing your gimmicky door into a bus is stupid.... That’s a lot of stupid for a 28 second video.

That’ll make it easier to stand on the wheel so you can reach into the bed to retrieve something. 

Well you sucked the fun right out of that mildly amusing quip.

Oh the good ol’ days, when we knew what to do with Nazis.

You left the word “ruined” out...twice.

I don’t disagree with you but there are plenty of people buying a car out of necessity, too. Trying to keep a high mileage VW running until the market cools might make less financial sense than just going ahead and buying something, for example.

They’re talking about electrifying the next Miata. This is exactly the reason that worries me. Electric is great and I love many of the electric cars, but I just don’t think it’s ready for the Miata. Batteries are heavy and expensive and they could easily ruin it. When the batteries get cheaper, better and lighter is…

Not captured on camera: The part where the man enthused, “Watch this!”.

I bet there’s been a lot of bootleg VHS porn made inside that thing.

No one in a new Maxima is driving 137 mph. The CVT explodes at 120.

I stand corrected, I only scanned the article and carmakers are traditionally stubborn on these matters.

According to the optimistic projections of a company building charging stations. I wouldn’t hold my breath, but if they do, that’d be great.
