I was going to suggest the Aztek as a joke, and it actually made the top 5.

That 944 variant is awesome.

I agree with you there. I think 2018 is a very aggressive timeline, but I think 2020-2022 is definitely do-able. And with the speed at which progress is being made, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if estimates get revised to be sooner rather than later.

The way most humans operate is to simply blindly follow the car in front. But with a self-driving car, once you navigate it correctly once, every other car will know how to do it correctly too.

The ability of an autonomous vehicle to “see” in bad weather has gotten exponentially better in the last couple of years. Developments like multi-camera polarization will make it much, much better (far superior to a human), and will not be subject to the deficiencies of LIDAR. Also, the ability to map individual lane…

I actually saw a pre-85 Nissan truck the other day that looked almost brand new. It still had the “ST” graphics on the corner of the bed. The driver was hauling something around the neighborhood where I work. I used to own an ‘85 (last of the non-”hardbody” models) and loved that truck. Never should have sold it -…

It’s got manual brakes, as well.

I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the Gremlin, and have come close to buying one off Craigslist or eBay more than once. My dad had one just like the ad. ‘73 model Gremlin X in green with a white stripe. It had a 304 and a 4-speed (or it may have been a 3-speed, I don’t recall) and was actually quite fast for…

The rear lights are too large and too high. Combined with the relatively high belt line and minimal glass, it just doesn’t look right. Visibility looks on par with the Camaro.

My two dogs won’t fit in there. Neither will the load of crap I brought home from Home Depot two weeks ago. Neither will a clothes dryer, a 55” TV, etc. I can’t really sleep in that car when I go camping (not remotely comfortably, anyway).

I’ve done the “fly down, drive back” car purchase many times, but that won’t work so well for an electric car with a 50 mile range.

How did they get such a low cd with that barn door grille?

Plenty of people driver older cars because there is no compelling reason to drive something newer. My car is 15 years old and, other than Bluetooth and a couple mpg improvement, buying a brand new car today would gain me exactly nothing. Both cars do the job of getting me from A to B in the same exact way and with…

Maybe autonomous vehicles will be the end of snowy, icy roads. Autonomous plows have the potential to drastically increase efficiency, since they can operate virtually non-stop 24/7. Getting rid of the cab means that you can make them lighter, smaller, and faster (or you can offset that weight with more salt, so they…

When I say “hatchback” I’m talking about a car with actual usable space in the back. While the Volt has a lift gate, you’re not going to fit two dogs or a new 55” TV back there. For all intents and purposes, the Volt is a sedan with a trunk. Some of us need a car that can haul more than just 4 adults and a golf bag.

The Volt has some benefits, but the form factor and nice interior of the i3 totally outclass the Volt. If GM could figure out a Volt hatchback, and could cure their reliance on hard plastic interior bits, then we’d be talking.

Other than being pro-life, I don’t see any of Paul’s views as being far-right at all. He’s anti-big government, anti-big military, and pro-legalization of weed and consensual “crimes”. Doesn’t seem very far right to me.

My Bandit 1200 was stolen the first night I left it out of the garage (this was in Daly City, just south of SF). At the time, we had one cheap car that my girlfriend drove and my Bandit. The bike was the garage queen, because the car was a $500 POS. I had to use the garage to do some maintenance on the car, and didn’t…

Okay, I see your point of view. I think “grossed out” might be a bit of a strong reaction, but I understand where you’re coming from. As a guy, I didn’t even really notice the flag girl. I had completely forgotten about it by the end of the video. Where you saw objectification of a woman, I just saw eight buddies…

How does this alienate women riders? It might not cater to them, but I don’t see how it’s dismissive or negative to women.
