OBDII is such a drag, right?
At some points it’s just a CVT. Which sucks balls.
I’d fall under the “Luddite” category.
That GT1 version looks like a 370Z with a GT-R badge slapped on.
Youll also notice it when your car is older and doesnt start instantly or smoothly. I hate these systems and they seem so shortsighted as these cars will eventually be old and wont just snap right back to life like they used to.
You’ll notice it on a hot summer day.
God damn straight. We have a 2017 F-150 XLT 4x4 which we LOVE...save for the auto-start stop system, which 99% of the time is annoying as fuck. Being forced to override it every damn time you start the truck is ridiculous.
When I am king, there will be no 4 bangers that make less than 200 hp, no six cylinders that make less than 300, and no V8s that make less than 400.
Likely needed that 9 extra hp to offset the added weight from the 10spd.
Yes, like long-term quality, durability and reliability.
Why must we have auto-start stop as standard?! I had a 2017 Fusion SE prior to my mustang that was just dreadful. Not because it was intrusive, but because you had to turn it off every time you started the car. Even in the settings, there was no permanent “off”.
EOTD
The big issue with modern cars is they almost always run on a CAN bus system. The horn button isn’t a momentary contact switch. It’s a computer. A computer that is polled every 500ms or so. Are you on, are you off. You press it, it sends out a “I am on” message and the horn is activated by the body module of your car.…
Only because the person/people behind the first car are also texting. But then there’s me--I have a horn, and know how to use it!
Counterpoint: If you’re using your horn to let someone behind the wheel of a goddamn car know “it’s time to stop reading that text,” they deserve to have their eardrums blown out of their ears, full stop.
That’s... Actually a pretty dope art style. Almost feels like a waste that it’s only being used for avatars, I would watch a Pixar flick with characters like these.
uBlock Origins is your friend. I tried sympathising with content providers, they gotta eat too you know, but so many ads these days are so intrusive it completely ruins things for me.
I can’t keep quiet about this anymore.
