My dad is 62 and mom is 59. I wouldn’t really consider them old. Mom does crossfit and dad works out. Both are tech savvy. They’re still active, go traveling, go out drinking with friends... they just seem decidedly middle aged to me.

I agree, the Trans Am is white trash. The only good thing about Trans Ams is they easily let you know who to avoid. And I’m an American.
Not turning the car off is an honest mistake. Not putting it in park after a crash and JUMPING OUT OF THE CAR WHEN IT STARTS ROLLING is a dumb mistake.
Just for the record, I’m going on year 3 with mine. Mileage is 155,000. I’ve replaced the clutch (was going when I bought it), lots of tires, and other wear parts like bulbs... Oddly enough I haven’t touched the brakes yet.
Probably the most unreliable car BMW ever produced.
My high school math teacher claims she was hit in the head by a lugnut that bounced off the road, her hood and into her forehead. She said she turned back around and the truck driver was angry that she had it.
I agree, but I don’t think that’s a good argument against Chip and pin. Sure it has flaws, but it’s an improvement. You’ll never find an affordable, practical, 100% secure solution. And if you do, it won’t be 100% secure for long. It’s about incremental improvements rather than accepting defeat and not doing anything.
I once rode a bus for 18 straight hours across Morocco (with the same driver!) and they would throw boxes under the bus at every station and take some off. It was like a discounted bus shipping service. I think greyhound may do that in America.
But they are more secure than magnetic. Just because they can be cracked too doesn’t mean they’re not ahead in terms of security. The article you linked references some very rare instances. Not something thousands of Joe schmoes across the US do every day, like popping in a skimmer.
Atm skimmers are notoriously common too so be careful where you get cash. I always use credit cards with 100% fraud protection. Plus I get miles on them.
I have an odd respect for the Prius. It’s a feat of engineering to make something that advanced for such a low price. It also lasts forever and costs nothing to run. I still could never stomach buying one, but it’s a very, very good car in many respects.
This website (and its readership) just spent time whining about people whining about hotel perks, rather than spending time with their families or building houses. How meta. How ironic.
*European. Every Euro brand uses them, except Jag and Land Rover thanks to Ford’s meddling.
My friend had a 2014 escape as a rental. A first gen neon rear ended him, tented the hood, smashed the windshield, set off an air bag and totaled the car. The left exhaust tip was bent down about an inch, but enterprise didn’t even notice
That’s my dad! He dailyed his 06 Sierra to a quarter million miles and traded it in for a Sierra on a whim. Zero research. Took one right off the lot because he liked his last one.
It baffles me how much more attractive BMWs used to be than Mercs back in that day. Especially interior wise
I still haven’t found a better appliance car. It’s huge on the inside, efficient, cheap to buy and dirt cheap to own. I think the enviro-elite have moved on to the Leaf.
They don’t have a torque converter. There is an electric motor that acts as a torque converter + motor.
