I don’t know, I doubt it. I wouldn’t get them in Rx because they would be too expensive. Try Warby Parker. Their polarized Rx sunglasses are around $100 and I’ve had a few pair for years. You can do an at-home try on for free.

This happened to my Aunt in Union, OR. Filled up her truck with what she thought was regular then it started making weird noises. She took it to her mechanic and he said the tank was filled with diesel. Turns out lots of other people in town had the problem too - the fuel company paid for the repairs.

Gamma Ray makes the best sunglasses for driving. $13, polarized, durable plastic, available on Amazon prime and they last for years. I just by 2-3 pair and keep them in my car at all times.

It drives me nuts when people park their cars on the tiny wedge between an on-ramp and the merge. People cut those lines all the time. If you can, get your car ALL THE WAY to the right shoulder, so there’s only traffic passing you on the left, instead of both sides.

I’m all sorts of confused now. I thought the 32 mpg number up above where it says ‘Reg. Gas’ was JUST the 3.6L running on its own. How does the non-hybrid Pacifica mange worse mileage with the same engine? Does the 32 mpg ‘Gas Only’ number also include the engine running on electric up to certain speeds? Is it because…

The problem is you’re comparing a turbo hot hatch (wagon?) to a minivan. The Mini just gets worse gas mileage in general - 27 as opposed to 32 in the minivan, even though the van has a 3.6L and the Mini a 1.5L. Combine that with a smaller electric battery and yeah, the Mini doesn’t do as well. Would I still take the…

It’s definitely a clever design, but all you gain is a longer driver door right? I mean, all Jerry has done is buy a coupe that’s a sedan on one side. My friend has a previous gen Veolster, I will have to investigate and report back.

NHTSA: It’s extremely dangerous to look at your phone while driving. We need to make laws against this.

Oh WTF

Is the N a 4 door or a coupe? The lead picture is definitely a 4 door but then the follow pictures seems to show something different. I’m assuming a few of those pictures are the base Veloster?

NP

An EV 3 series would be excellent. We need more cars like the Focus Electric and the e-Golf - cars on existing platforms that don’t look weird, but can be offered as electric trims.

Can we please get an EV that looks good AND is somewhat affordable? On one end you’ve got the Smart/Fiesta mashup Bolt and on the other end Fisker. One’s pretty and hilariously expensive, the other ugly as sin but affordable. Give me something decent to look at in a sub-40k range. Please!

The fact that the re-build was not performed by the person who took up the entire trunk area with subwoofers is a huge relief.

The entire premise of nuclear bombs is the definition of ‘overkill’

The ornament is fantastic. A digital reader on the back is not. Stick to the subtlety, Marv.

Yeah sorry the Bolt gets 90 miles in 30 minutes. A Tesla on a supercharger will get about 80% in 30 minutes, which is 170 miles for a 90 kWh. So you get double, but it still means you have to stop for 30 minutes every 3 hours, which is an average of 48 mph. That’s pretty painstakingly slow.

IMO they should just strive to put charging stations in big cities near workplaces, parking lots, commuter lots, etc. EV’s at the moment are going to be the most efficient for city or near-city dwellers anyway. Once battery capacities and charge times improve, branch out to highways and freeways so people can use them…

The US should strive to make the EV equal to a scooter in Europe. Mostly limited to short distances and city driving - extremely efficient. The only problem is scooters are ridiculously cheap and EV’s are the exact opposite.

Six hours at an average of 60 mph gets you 360 miles. A Chevy Bolt has a range of 238 miles, which is 4 hours (if you don’t run the AC and drive very, very conservatively). It also takes two hours to fully recharge the 238 miles on a Level 3 charger. You only get 90 miles in 30 minutes from a Level 3, which is about…
