I hate the fact that my speedo is bisected by the top of the wheel in nearly every car - this seems like a good solution.

Why were you googling what an index finger is while writing this?

If it’s the regular top-up balance, they don’t expire - you can turn in the card for the balance & deposit if you don’t need it anymore. I keep a spare oyster in the junk drawer for guests, so I checked with TFL to see if it’s still valid.

Glad to see they ditched the hard plastic on the back of the front seats - makes it hell to sit in the back if you’re over 6'.

As I said in that post, bring back Night Panel! My Saab was great, other than the fact it needed a new condenser every other year.

Building off this - the feature I miss most from my 9-3 is Saab’s “Night Panel”.

This is the only one I’ve seen worth watching. The audio is fantastic.

Man, google with the burn:

I used to hear it from the salty old dudes when I worked on loading docks, usually phrased as “fuck it, send it”. A lot of them were ex-military, so that would make sense.

I’ve never understood the theory that if they physically trap you at the dealership they’ll make the sale.

Some good choices on there, but you absolutely cannot have a driving playlist without including The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. How else are you supposed to pretend you’re an F1 driver?

Best password is one you can’t remember. 64 random characters from something like lastpass or keepass will be much harder to crack than any dictionary words.

I’ve never liked autohold, but I’m the type of person that pulls the handbrake on at lights. I don’t like feeling the car is making that decision for me.

In the UK (possibly the rest of Europe too), you need to turn your hazards on if you’re braking hard - they’re also commonly used as a “thanks for letting me cut in” signal. Bombing down the motorway with them on is idiotic, but there are cases where you’d need to use them while driving.

Hand sanitiser works too, if you don’t have denatured alcohol to hand.

You forgot Asimo’s important work in ape-robot diplomacy:

I just had a rental Focus for the past two weeks, and the tiny “Cancel” button is impossible to find. The Fiesta steering wheel is much better.

VW’s been doing this for years - the Golf got too big, so they brought out the Polo underneath. When that grew too big, the Lupo slotted in underneath. When the Up (replacement for the Lupo) gets to 4m, there’ll probably be a new small VW.
