this article from Car and Driver helps explain why it’s a sedan and not a liftback:

That version of the T-bird has aged well.  I think it’s still a good looking car.

Does it come standard with a dash cam?

Always entertaining to see the hordes of people driving 15 year old multi-owner jalopys have an opinion on BMW’s retail strategy (and styling!)

The 6GC passing is the only real sadness on the list, but the 8GC is a clear successor and BMW is just cleaning out the 6- name for future use.

*frame snaps in half* “You win again, gravity!”

You say that as if it being a golf bag is somehow better.  It, sir, is not better. It is worse. Far worse. Trump loves golf. Fuck golf.

An attentive human will always be better than an autonomous system (unless we’re talking low-visibility situations, perhaps). An autonomous system may be better than an inattentive human. That’s a pretty low bar, and they haven’t even reliably passed it yet. Until they’re comparable to an attentive human driver I want…

Fact is the bigger the vehicle, the more damage it does when the moron driving it loses it. If some dumbass wants to stunt on a bike, he is mostly only going to kill himself. Some idiot in a 6-7Klb brodozer is going to be just fine when he takes out a carload of widows and orphans. And unfortunately, trucks DO attract…

Get Stinged

Now let’s do this with all the Fords, and start by turning on the engine if it’s not already on. Now disable the airbags. Now, floor it! After three second, put the steering input hard left. That won’t matter for the cars that are contained to a parking structure, except you now have a CO and ignition source that may…

You’re imagining that the hackers would only be able to do one thing. They could easily plant a program that does several things at once. It doesn’t even have to be the same things in all the cars. They could disable all the manual controls. They could exploit the software issues that are causing Telsa batteries to…

no but i need to have alexa in my car to make impulse purchases with based on the adverts i am hearing in the podcasts i am listening to....

I have to admit, I’m sort of excited for the day code cowboys find themselves face to face with humorless government testing regimes that mercilessly tear apart their code and file long, boring reports they have to read telling them how much they suck. Brogrammer meltdowns HO!!!

I’d say that India needs fewer cars & more birth control.

Just stay below 88 MPH

I live downtown, 1 block from trains, subways, buses and a 10 minute walk from an airport and a beautiful lake front and a short ferry ride to a tree filled island with a beach or two (even a nudie beach)...not much wrong with this life either.

(Tiny rant. Pay no mind.)

Yuck. That’s super great and all, but I would rather have a functioning democracy with constitutional protections than some money. Nice priorities.

Hindsight is blinded by the search for the truth about the past. Forget the past. If you never look back, you are never wrong. Unless of course it is someone else’s prediction. Then you expend all available resources finding proof that person was wrong.
