The IIHS should also add vehicles to this list which do not have an automated headlights on feature. Following a car with no tail-lights is troubling, especially on unlit roadways. Cannot count how many times I’ve driven behind someone who thinks their headlights are on because the DRL’s are illuminating the road…

I used to do PPIs and forensic auto repair analysis at my shop (both for car owners and for plaintiffs/lawyers), and it depends on how much the customer is willing to pay for and how invasive they want me to get, basically. A standard, one hour shop labor PPI? Maybe not, if the repair was well done and everything…

This happens rather regularly in the USA. As in daily at collision center. I’m an insurance adjuster, replacing a quarter panel (ITS NOT CALLED A REAR FENDER!!!) along with the lock pillar (C-pillar on sedans) is a fairly straightforward process on many cars and every OEM has a sectioning guideline available to shops…

The heater isn’t creating moisture. Anyway, this is how the defrost setting works on most cars.

Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.

I agree with you that she needs to do what’s best for GM - that’s certainly her job. And attempting to work with the Trump administration on that council was a good move, at least at the time.

First Gear:

Reverse: Obligatory -

“It has not much to do with the Leaf which is now sharing the Renault Zoé platform”

then start writing for the site and show everyone what a racist white guy thinks of the world.  we dont get enough of those types of opinions.  be the change you wanna see and quit bitching.  you dont even know what socialism is. 

Show me on this doll where the socialism hurt you

I think the issue is more that their stuff has strayed farther and farther from “car culture” (as evidenced by the fact there were no cars in their last feature) and further towards “watch these old guys do stupid things and make each other uncomfortable”.  Which can be entertaining, but it would be nice if the cars…

Eh. It will likely still make me chuckle. Seamen had some funny moments.

1. Because they could

In terms of “shitty things auto CEO’s have said and done” — I feel like we have to grade on a curve. Is Elon Musk someone who speaks without a filter, often to his own detriment? Sure. I often criticize him, because his company deserves it. (So does his behavior.) But... Henry Ford wasn’t exactly a progressive. You…

I’ll go out on a limb and defend Erik a little bit here.  I think he meant buying an individual stock is a gamble.  Surely he understands that investing in a fund indexed to an entire market is a good bet in the long run.

All this engine and they went with modified dana 44 axles. When they have bolt in Dana 60 aftermarket axles from spicer ready to go. 

I keep warning people that when predicting an event with a limited number of outcomes, you can either develop a complex model or guess, and getting the outcome right validates neither approach.

How my doing Eric Shilling? Well I see a whole section titled “Joe Biden” and 36 people showed up for my million man march. I think I’ve been better. Maybe I’ve been better, I don’t know. I’m locked in the oval office eating nothing but Checkers. (Actually I like Checkers, that part is pretty good). There’s nothing…

It would be something.
