Isn’t a huge screen with a picture of the car and “Autopark” a pretty good visual indicator that it’s enabled?

The last car I rented had an electric, push button e-brake (Chrysler 200). There was no “disable handbrake” message when I disabled it. Just a little red light to tell the driver it was enabled.

I love those old Nissans from the 80s. My dad had an ‘85 that passed on to me when I left home. It was a great truck (but definitely could have used more power). Very durable and dependable. I never should have sold it.

Come on. It’s super easy to find a Katana or Bandit donor engine. The Bandit retained the air/oil cooled 600/1200 engine through the late 2000s, and there are a ton of them out there. There are almost 20 for sale on Craigslist locally for me right this minute. Maybe not as common as the Sportster engine (which…

What is that sitting off to the right of the silver 928 Cabrio? Is that a 928 based shooting brake!?

Two words: LS swap.

How do the door handles work, and why does it look like the red and silver cars have totally different handles than the black car?

Can’t fit a bicycle, my dogs, a pressure washer, etc. in the trunk or the frunk.

I feel similarly about adventure bikes. The giant adventure bikes don’t seem to be a good choice for actually taking off road, simply because of their size and weight. However, my last bike was a Versys and it was the best commuter I’ve ever owned. I had no intention of ever going more off road than to a local…

I have a DC07 Animal that I bought in 2001. I have two dogs and my girlfriend has two more, so I do a _lot_ of vacuuming. Other than a torn hose (fixed with duct tape) and scuffs and scrapes, it’s as good as new and works just as well. It can be easily field stripped, is super easy to clean, and works extremely well.…

Have you seen the nightly news...ever? Police assault law abiding citizens on a daily basis, and they virtually never get prosecuted. In the rare instances they do get prosecuted, they’re let off with a slap on the wrist, at worst.

This is the real world. Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances which require a driver to do something that would otherwise be unwise or even illegal.

That’s not what happened. The Google car was in the correct lane, but there was an obstruction in the right hand portion of the lane, preventing the car from being able to turn right. The car was attempting to nudge into the next lane over to get around the obstruction to complete it’s turn. It did exactly what a…

But it’s protected by 17 anti-corrosion methods!

Flat black might work for cop cars in future Detroit, but it makes no damn sense for taxicabs that are trying to be spotted on busy streets (and, knowing Gotham - at night in the rain).

Looks like Garry McCoy in the dry.

I think it looks great. In fact, I’d say it’s way more attractive than the Mini Clubman from every angle.

I am in love with this car. I always wanted a 928 (and, so far, have been reneging on my promise to myself that I would eventually own one) and thought the electrical problems and 30-foot-long-timing-chain of the stock engine were just begging to be replaced with a SBC and more basic electrical. It looks awesome and I…

Pedestrians and bicyclists are killed every single day by automobile drivers. Should they have to wear full face helmets, race leathers, back protectors, etc., so that you don’t have the to bear the “psychological burden” that you might injure one of them? Give me a fucking break.

It looks like I’m in the minority, but I agree that the Clearview font looks better. Much better, in fact. The lower case o and e are much more legible and the small serif on the lower case l makes a big difference. It would be even more apparent if you had an upper case I and a lower case l next to each other (think:…
