You know the best part of a truck or SUV? No one will ever see your roof! I use a 24" garage floor push broom on my roof, tonneau and windshield of my truck, then I clear off the hood carefully. It takes me all of 3 minutes to do the whole car. The roof actually isnt scratched

Just enough snow cleared to see a little out the front. I got out of my car, opened the trunk, and cleared off the douche-nozzle’s car. When he honked, I gave him the finger. I made sure he missed the green light too.

There are two things I really want the OPP to crack down on more.

That’s great.  I recently read a tweet from someone who said they were in a local softball league and their team was called “No Game Scheduled,” leading to several forfeits by eventually disgruntled would-be opponents who of course didn’t show up. 

A two-by-four in the engine bay might just be the best thing to ever happen to that ugly bugger.

City contractors that spend lots of time idling? The EPA city MPG of the 2.7T is notably better than the 5.3L

It’s because the “driving at 43 mph and part throttle everywhere” is exactly how the EPA determines MPG. They’re just gaming the system just like everyone else. 

Body-on-frame for toughness. Diesel because that’s what they use a lot in India. And purple because why the fuck not.

It’s a little strange this purple people-mover was at the show at all

Until you get a bad little feature, then it screws everything up and your drag increases by 10%. Because aero is nonlinear like that.

It’s extremely unlikely that airflow is getting meaningfully stuck in those “pockets.” Chances are they are inside the aerodynamic envelope created by the car’s overall features.

“Easy” is relative.

BMW will always sell at least the 3 and 5 series. Audi will always sell at least the A4. Honda will always sell at least the accord. Toyota will always sell at least the camry.

This is a concept of a prototype of a concept. At the risk of being a buzzkill, getting hyped up in either direction about this is like getting worked up about dinosaurs cloning after watching Jurassic Park. Yeah it’s cool but it’s basically just an animation that started with a bunch of people sitting in a room and…

Buy what makes you happy. My stupid opinion should have no effect on your behavior. 

Don’t act like you’re immune to it with your broken down jeep on a trailer. You’re getting escorted too pal.

“ .... car companies focused on raising prices... “

That is a Yamaha Bravo. A 250cc, single cylinder, oil injected 2-stroke. Look them up! They sound like an oversized chainsaw! One of my first sleds.

A BMW wagon, for those awkward early-season trips when you don’t know whether you’ll need the mountain bike or the snowmobile to do your trail-thrashing.

Lighten up, the software guys have nothing to do with that stuff anyway, so let them have some fun now and then.
