“it’s too impractical compared to a mundane ‘vette”

The world is tired of underpowered Japanese cars.

As a person who has been the victim of fraud, on my debit card, used as a credit card, I can authoritarily state that this is not true. It feels true, like it should be true, but it is not.

Well the bad news is that since they got only 201 miles on the EPA testing with nice all season tires in normal temperatures there’s about 0% chance that it’ll get that in winter when you’re running winter tires instead of the all seasons and driving through slush while blasting the electric cabin heater. This will be…

We don’t need DNA to prove that.

these shows are great, been watching this one all morning

I’ve seen this before. Someone in software is debugging something, ramps up the logging, fixed 6 the problem and either forgets to turn off the logging or the software manager re-tasks the software person to something else. A few years ago I showed up to investigate why a piece of equipment wasn’t working. The 2TB…

It was my understanding that pinch/crush protection on windows was pretty standard.  I had a 2008? 2010? Subaru that did it, and I think a 2005 VW...

Unless you have something desirable (think: WRX, Taco), selling a late model car private party is such a pain in the ass. People prefer the convience and feeling of security of buying from a dealership. The only people who are comfortable shopping private party are the ones that are pretty astute car buyers. The net…

Usually the new engines don’t need the break in. The transmission and the diff are a different story though. 

I guess you like V8 instead of turbo charged 4/6 because you like torquey engine with little delay. You should really try drive an EV, especially a Tesla. I bet you will not want to go back to your lethargic V8 car again.

Can we just get rid of twitter social media? It doesn’t seem to have actually added any value to humanity.

The more I think about it, this seems like the first time a mainstream company is building a car that isn’t an econobox or a high price luxury item. The Bolt, Volt, Leaf, i3, 500e, and Focus Electric are all basically econoboxes, even if some of them are good quality. Then you have the e-tron, I-Pace, and now the Macan…

Facebook will die by itself as it is basically morphing into our mom’s email chains of the early 2000's.

Round Jetta = Beetle

So it’s basically what all non-VW people in the US have believed all along.

Not street legal. I was disappointed when I researched for the previous Humvee.

Didn’t know Democrats were NASCAR fans. Learn something knew every day.
