indeed on #1. Anything chrome on a modern car is pretty bad

The issue is delayed gratification. Why drive an hour to race when I can just do it down the street? The thrill is the same and your brain doesn’t assess the consequences because it’s laser focused on pleasure. It’s not an economic problem, it’s a biological one.

So let’s see if I’ve got this straight: the security guard didn’t notice for two hours that a family was roaming the lot, opening and sitting in cars, etc., after all the employees had gone home?

Could you have found a creepier picture?

It’s not unprecedented... People just don’t like radical changes. But if anybody would have the intestinal fortitude to pull it off, I’d hope it would be Tesla.

I guess you werent aware that you could pay the asking price at ANY dealership and that would make it a simple easy transaction.

Why peace of mind does Carmax afford, assuming you don’t buy an extended warranty (which you can buy anywhere)? It’s still a used car that Carmax didn’t use themselves, so they don’t really know the history.

CarMax appeals to the chickenshit market—too gutless even to negotiate a better price at a dealership. So these suckers, uh, customers pay the delta and think they’ve gotten a good deal. Whatever.

Agreed. IMOO folks who like a higher ride are nervous drivers because they feel uncomfortable not being able to see over what is in front of them.

You know what’s easier to get a baby seat into and out of? A minivan! Sliding doors will always rule in this department.

I was wondering about that, but I don’t think so. My car was once locked in reverse, and I did drive it backwards a few miles to be fixed, but I waited until 3 am and drove with an escort car with their hazard lights on. I was young and stupid, but still took more care than this guy.

And thus we become what we despise.

Bug is just like “oh well excuse you then.”

You can also predict a lot by watching them during a “normal” stretch of road. If they’re jerking about within their lane, watch out for an abrupt lane change. If they’re braking without much reason to, they’ll probably come to a compete stop somewhere without a reason (some people turn extremely slow). If they’re…

What I wish I could do:

They’re driving too fast. They’re driving too slow.
