Grow up and stop bitching about them. They’re a toy. Hundreds of kids have hurt themselves on bikes and rollerblades. The battery exploding thing is only an issue with the cheap, chinese knockoffs, and should be addressed as its own issue. I see no reason to stop buying the quality, certified models.

I have an utter disdain for the RX and its drivers, but this new one looks damn good. Especially that interior! It’s not going to drive like a BMW, but should a crossover really focus on handling over comfort? I don’t think so.

Luckily this Texan was on vacation in Oklahoma. If he was at home in Texas, he would’ve just shot that place up like Waco

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.

I’ve tried a lot of sites, but Spotify is still king for me. I love how they have all the different genres/moods to choose play lists from. And the discover section has gotten eerily Good the longer I use the app.

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.

Yes. My 1997 540i/6. I sold it to buy an M5. But I still miss the smooth, sublime engine and quiet interior. My M5 is a beast compared to this car. This 540i also looked like it rolled off the lot a year ago. I finally got it EXACTLY how I wanted it before I sold it.

He won’t be smiling for long.

Yeah I guess it does that under ‘your music’. I don’t have any full albums on my, so I haven’t looked for them in “my music”

Yeah, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Mine defaults to album. I’m actually annoyed it doesn’t default to every song (that’s how I prefer to search).

You don’t need to make playlists. You can just add songs to your library. Also they have a Pandora style radio. They also release a weekly “Discovery” playlist based on what you’ve been listening too lately (it’s a damn good one, too).

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.
