The headlights work great on the G80 and GV80. Other vehicles it’s hit-and-miss. (IMO, obv)

Premium audio systems. Without our subscription, you get fully tunable AM/FM radio, volume control, and two speakers (probably front doors). To unlock the other eleven speakers, access to equalizer functions and panning, and to receive audio input from sources like USB, AUX, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and …

I have never seen an EcoSport with an external spare. Now it sorta makes sense - same with the handle being on the side rather than the middle somewhere. Is that a market thing - never made it to the NA market? I see Euro plates on your example.

oh i was ‘bout to throw hands sir

So what I got out of this is that you’re one of the people who shops on Thanksgiving. Ew.

The set in the Londes episode felt so cheap and backlot-y... and then I realized they were doing it on purpose and I was totally on board. (At least, it worked for me.) There were others I was on-board with.

I’ve had this happen, though it’s probably from me singing along. The lyric sounds nothing like “Hey Google” or whatever the trigger is, but after three times through, I yelled, “GO THE FUCK AWAY,” and it serious came back saying something along the lines of, “Words are hurtful :’(”

Yeah, I enjoyed it taking the same framework and telling, essentially, a whole new story with it. And how much you liked it mostly resided in how much you were onboard with them doing things differently.

Hey, this looks like a good channel to look at this sort of thing. I saw another one that put an ICE into a Tesla, and it wasn’t about the install, it was about driving down the road with oil burning off and coming out MAYBE an exhaust, and “pranking” a Jiffy Lube or something by taking it in for an oil change.…

The only silver lining is that you can get reimbursed for more with a totaled car. Yeah, you gotta shop this market, but you’ll have more in your pocket than you would normally, so it’s slightly offset.

After yesterday’s QOTD (or the one before?) which had a lot of talk about there being different kinds of car enthusiasts, etc., this article places a lot of weight on the idea that the most important part of being a car enthusiast is the wrenching.

So did mine - which surprises me because it looked like it hung and didn’t actually post 😂 Kinja gonna Kinja.

Some winter driving tips. Double the distance you would normally follow at. Every winter, take your car to an empty parking lot and thrash it to remember what controlled slides feel like. And most importantly, every time it has just snowed or perhaps freezing rained, as soon as you get in the car, hit the brakes hard…

The current one has the Max Regen feature as well, and it’s... regen braking. Not exactly enough to “top up the battery while coasting”.

Yeah; if nothing else, contract renegotiations will certainly allow them to insert a “market adjustment” clause. But if they can flex now and get it done before current contracts are up, so much the better.

2nd Gear: It’s a rough pinch now but suppliers can use this to negotiate for better contracts when said contracts are finally up for renegotiation. Also if they’re facing a labor shortage, they can snap up all the supposed lost jobs from 3rd Gear.

I feel like the biggest idiot is the driver waving out the window, when at any point I feel like the car could shift, the back of the car swinging backwards and pinning them between trailer and b-pillar.

I’m not a fan of the military worship culture that brings about flyovers in the first place, but I don’t see it stopping any time soon; so I’ll say, for rotary-wing aircraft, low is fine so long as they’re not flying under anything and the noise level of their passing isn’t harmful to spectators or bystanders (people…

We did. It was for a film workshop where we were given generic lines and had to figure out what they were referring to, so obviously we missed the deadline on that, but it was still good to check it off.

Six years. Also in retrospect my mom may have paid the repair out of pocket so they weren’t involved anyway. It’s been... over twelve years since then.
