Did you know you can option many Rolls Royce and Bentleys with dash clocks that can cost up to $100,000? That’s probably not that surprising, to be honest.

That’s the way it should work. My vehicle will also go down to zero, but if it’s stopped for more than a second or so, I have to tap the accelerator to move again (CC is still on, though.)

With most adaptive cruise control systems, the following distance is in seconds, not car lengths. That means when traffic is slower, it follows more closely. I’m not sure how Lexus handles it, but I’d assume it’s similar.

Add in lane-centering (Level 2 ADAS systems like Autopilot, ProPilot, etc) and fatigue on long trips is greatly reduced. You even have the ability to admire the surroundings without having to constantly worry about traffic in front of you.

That was the compromise for using a compact car platform but trying to shoehorn in two complete powertrains.

Exactly. How many tons of oil are consumed everyday? Let’s see:

IIRC, it was only John DiMaggio who held out. And he finally won. Well, not actually. He finally decided he wanted to be the voice of Bender and accepted the terms that were offered.

I have a feeling that once you try to turn the engine over the whole thing is going to turn to dust.

I mean...Aston Martin put a V12 in what was effectively a Toyota iQ.

It’s already visible to consumers who are interested in EVs. Given a long enough timeline with the general trends, the only people left buying Toyotas will be people who only buy Toyotas.

Not to mention, it’s much easier to track down a badly polluting power plant and force it to install emissions controls than it is to track down every ricer wanna-be who removes their cats and mufflers or every hoopty, barely-moves-under-its-own-power POS spewing untreated emissions. Because, you know, even big metro…

$60 for games has been a key price point for much longer than that. I remember games for the Nintendo and Sega consoles were $60 for the big name games. If they followed inflation, the same quality games would be around $200 now.

Well now I kind of want to play this game. LoL. $35 for what looks like hundreds of hours of playtime is a bargain. I mean, the local strip club charges $20 for a lapdance and that’s like three minutes.

I believe the issue in the rear is that the rear motor and inverter take up space, so a flat floor isn’t possible unless there’s a FWD version. Which, I guess, isn’t totally out of the question at some point.

Having owned a Model 3, I can attest that the wind and road noise are...not well controlled.

And half of their sales used to be the RX. Not sure what the mix is now.

This happened about 6 weeks ago, so we can assume the police have done some sleuthing since then. Such as “What happened, sir?”

Ironically, of all the vehicles Adam cites as maybe sometimes qualifying for the tax credit, none of them are available as FWD only. They’re all either RWD or AWD.

About the same as the exchange rate from Schrute Bucks to Stanley Nickels.
