“Easy to get in and out of because you’re fat and have bad knees.”

As a german citizen, I think it is the other way around. Germany is actually very lenient if you want to mod something or just be a car nut. Taxes are far lower than in most other european countries, insurance is also comparatively cheap (I pay 100€/year for my 97 NA MX5 for basic insurance, and less than that for…

No doubt, the automotive aftermarket here in Germany is unfun. People like to claim it’s because of the safety needed for the Autobahn, or the inherent German-ness of everything having to be orderly, or simply the inherent German-ness of paperwork and bureaucracy... ja, probably some of that is all true, but there’s…

Agree! I’ve had two cars rear ended & totaled by numb-nuts in crap cans that shouldn’t have been allowed on the road.

I’ll take the regulations over my experience getting rear ended by an idiot with no, insurance, exposed cord tires, and a paper tag bought from an unscrupulous buy here pay here lot. 

Basic repairs haha!!!! Germany actually has rules on what can be on the road. This isn’t America where any jackhole can drive a clapped out death trap with no insurance by printing their own temporary plates. 

Helloes from Bamberg, close to Nürnberg!

They’re cheap because old Diesels lack the green emissions sticker, rendering them illegal in most large German cities.

Well the problem is that people are asking 5000 on stuff that is only worth 4000 at most so they can be haggled down to that actual top dollar price. That is why people bid 3000, so that they don’t get argued up to above top dollar prices. But, of course, you know what you have...

The difference Uber drivers can’t set their own rates.

What do you call a bunch of Alfa Romeos that haven’t moved for years?

“most BMW drivers didn’t know which set of wheels on their car were actually powered?”

I want a Autobahn in the US. But make it a very expensive Toll road to get on, like $50. Do this to keep the stupid moronic poor people, and tree hugging Prius drivers and just overall people whose cars just aren’t roadworthy enough for these speeds off. Make it a special license you have to apply for to be able to…

Again, the USA has a fundamental responsibility to act. If I screw something up, I fix it. I don’t wait for someone else to screw up more, so that I can point at them and shift the blame. This isn’t blame game that we, as a society, can win.

It’s a mars rover made available to the public. I think it’s beautiful.

No one’s really copying Tesla on this, they’re simply following a wider interindustry trend. Like it or not, in a decade your coffee maker will have an HMI, your doorbell will have an HMI, your fucking crock pot will have an HMI.

You are probably culturally biased to to think voice control works because you consume us-media or at least en-speaking media and are a native speaker. Let me tell you as a Swede that while I comfortably use english daily at work I would not be inclined to use English commands to control the car or anything in my…

Simply pulling that lever a few millimeters rearward engages the electric latch, popping the door open.

>> it would reduce a slight load on the already strained medical system.

I’m just going to leave this here but:
