Thanks for the idea. However, I think neutral would still be easier... instead of spending 200 dollars(i am guessing) and going around the car to put them under the tiers to move the car literally a foot. + just thinking if I should crash and the engine wouldn’t restart, how would i push the car from the road if it…

Exactly the same problem here. According to my owners manual there could be a “screw” (inbus) under the leather upholstery that you can turn to put the car in neutral(just clip up that leather thingy and should be visible, however i looked an there was no such srew present, so I asked my dealership and they told me I…

pHow does airbus call you a retard every time you land? I am not a pilot, so would love to know what “the plane” says.

Care to elaborate? Cause I think it is quite a big chunk of the car’s manufacturing cost considering it’s tight tolerances and complexity. I could be wrong, so my question is, can you proof my unsubstantiated gut feeling wrong by data?

I have driven an electric car for almost 2 years now. I have never used a charging station in that time (the rfid card in my wallet is still fully loaded) and my car charges through a regular socket (european, so 220v). And when it is cold, my range goes from 125 km to 110 km, still more than enough for my daily 60 km…

BMW Series 2 active tourererererer is kinda a minivan, don’t know if it is available in the states though

Although, I admit, I didn’t think it was funny. I respect your attempt at humor and freedom to post it. Thus I stand by you against the “Joke Police” (which admittedly, I do find funny :) )

+ I forgot, there was a time people said the uk would need 10 computers at most, because they were so expensive, or the time only the very rich could afford a car, but then came along one of americas greatest, Mr. Ford. Or electricity, once only for wallstreet. Or all other things once ought to be only affordable for…

Yeah but you forget redundancy. You probably have only 1 o2 sensor in your car at this moment(baring some real funky stuff) but If you were to have 3, the likelihood of the computer detecting an error exponentially increases.+ these sensor are not in the same league as the sensors installed today in cars. Think more…

About 7 million new vehicles each year (source:http://www.statista.com/statistics/199…), taking into account trickle down (second hand market etc.) it would take 45 years for the entire nation to have self driving cars(excluding those like you that would opt out) and this would not happen next year, but only a small…

Well, you see, the ranges would be much narrower with these sensors. Also technology keeps getting better(my multimeter is accurate to 0.001 volts, and was not terribly expensive, whilst the same precision on a multimeter 20 years ago, would have set you back many thousand of dollars and 40 years ago would not have…

Indeed, many deaths due to distractions, now if we were to take the driver out of the driving equation, the driver can be distracted as much as he wants, cause the car is driving. History has learned us that we can try to enforce the traffic rules as much as we want, people are still going to break them. Hey man, I…

Cool, thanks for your reply. So I got: guns, american, american car(because let’s face it, 3 out of 5 is kinda american, unless you say your dd is not american, then i wil subtract 1), do not live in a city, did not studie in stem fields(I acknowledge you work closely with engineering, but did you study it?) So that’s…

Nobody on jalopnik finds driving a chore. It’s freaking jalopnik. But most people find standing still in traffic a chore. Based on your reactions I am willing to wager you do not live in a big city? PS based on your other reactions I am also willing to make other predictions. (no need to answer, but would be cool to…

Yes and so are people. Wauw, that sarcasm meters is really hitting it today.

Jup, cause that’s what we have been doing for the last 60 years, and that worked perfectly, there are no deaths on roads these days.

Sorry, I see other have responded even better than I could.

agreed

I agree if you mean the facia. That is more of, like, the z4(but a bit more chubby). But the roofline, roof ”dent”, door, B-pillar,... they look the same to me. Now the massive spoiler , i’ll grant you, is also a big differentiator :) Ow and also the big massive airscoops and holes..., mm, so actually, Just the door…

well, there were quite a few of those large cars to be found. The “american ford” were the luxury barges. Now you buy an s class or bmw 7 to show your wealth, then it was american barges that were luxury.(chrylser, ford, chevrolet)..(speaking 1960-1970’s), so those “american luxuries were known even then although te…
