Maybe he got a huge signing bonus and golden parachute.

In terms of my engineering buddies, as was said the offers they would give out was pretty darn good. Thankfully I decided to get out of the auto space to go into tech... But even if I didn’t I saw this coming three years ago.

I actually like it, but I have some weird attraction to asymmetrical designs so to each their own?

False. This is a fully functional drifting handbrake, which would cost thousands and a lot of custom fab work otherwise.

I used to work at Toyota and I would tell every co-worker this. Hell, I almost got pissed off enough from driving loaner cars that I wanted to email whoever headed up the infotainment engineering team and curse them out. The infotainment systems in both Toyota and Lexus vehicles are so freaking bad it would be a deal…

I fucking love my Pebble Time. Pebble had the best smartwatch out there in my opinion, and yet they fail. Ugh...

Seriously, I laughed at the tidbit about Elio banking a 250k salary and still living in AZ. It’s pretty obvious that he’s using the company to pay himself well, then when it all falls apart he washes his hands of the mess and leaves with a good chunk of money in the bank.

Wait, the vehicle itself is using live cylinder pressure data?? How very cool, I guess the price of such sensors has finally reached a point where they can be used on a production car.

As someone who owned a manual 9-5 aero wagon, I agree. Everyone should own a Saab at some point. So comfy and so much torque, it was a pleasure to drive even if it understeered decently.

The only issue is now you have two propulsion components to maintain, one being a complex gasoline engine.

It’s sad because the S2k could be amazing for someone who wants a quicker Miata and has a little more money to spend (what I wanted to do).

LOL yeah, when I was car shopping I wanted to get an S2k badly. Once I realized I could get a C5 Z06 for the same price OR LESS, it was a no-friggin-brainer. My 02 Z06 with 80k miles cost less then most of the s2k’s linked on this thread...

I don’t understand the first paragraph. Robo Recall is THE MOST fun I have had with a video gave in a very long time. Technically it’s just a shooter...

Uhh that must have been a car issue. I used android auto in a rental Hyundai and it was pure bliss compared to any OEM system.

Dislocate joints in the legs maybe?

Ugh, Toyota and their horrible infotainment. When I worked for them, I had to refrain from just straight up emailing the head of interior electronics / UI and ask what the fuck they are doing. Even in freaking Lexus systems, there is lag, it’s ugly, not intuitive, and doesn’t integrate with any of the new tech (want…

I can’t wait to get a 27 or 32in OLED monitor one day...

It’s worth the cost just for an OLED screen - I have been waiting a long time to finally get an OLED laptop!!

I feel very lucky that I finally found a job where I work from home/with customers, and only go to the office maybe once a week. The quality of life increase (compounded by the traffic in LA) is worth it, even if I had to take a small pay cut.

I was going to say, why the hell are they highlighting wheel wells!?
