It’s kind of hard to recommend the car in general because it’s “modern”, but allegedly much of it is 370Z still. Even as a JDM stan, I think that the Mustang is a better buy. Maybe do a test drive if you can find a dealership that has one and see if you like the way it drives and feels.

Asking a serious educational question- what are some recommended RV companies that don’t build plywood covered shit? Do Airstreams belong in the shit camp or are they decent considering their price?

OEMs err towards “making the gauge appear full when actually full” and “making it appear empty before it’s actually empty”. The reason for this is simple: The fuel level sensor is not actually all that accurate. Not only just because fuel is sloshing all over the place, but because in most cases they haven’t really…
Have you SEEN Toronto house prices? That one card is barely able to buy an extremely mid house in the GTA.
In the US, this car’s pricing is pretty close to the Supra, it’s a pretty steep upcharge and sort of hard to understand.
“Shit happens” is a pretty poor excuse since these mistakes come not from competitors, but from the organization and the organizers of the event. People race in specific series because the race organizers have a level of credibility in hosting these events- a fair and safe playing field. If the FIAs and ACOs of the…
They do. And in some vehicles, application of brakes and gas at the same time will cause loss of throttle control.
Sensors sense, they don’t control. If the computer misinterprets input from a sensor, then that’s possible to record the driver’s action as “accelerate”. But sensing 2-3 sensors wrong at the same time (telling the computer that the driver is accelerating) when everything else on the car works is just incredibly low…
I remember reading about that, but overall GTA racism is really low energy and mostly in the realm of jokes and stereotypes. If you went East of Montreal or West into the prairies, you get a good taste of “real” racism where you are openly mocked and sometimes don’t feel safe.
That’s good for you, but for me as an Asian, it’s impossible to travel through the deep south (which I had to do at one point as a design/release engineer working with manufacturers in the area) without knowing that you’re the only Asian within a few hundred mile radius and that people are staring at you.
As long as it does not block line of sight out the windshield, bigger is better for me anyways. Much easier to read info and hit things on the touchscreen at a glance. Though with separate HVAC controls and a actual volume knob, that’s not as much of an issue.
Safety is, or should be, for everyone. And believe it or not, you can get visibility out of the pillars even with an airbag in them, per my original comment. It just depends on the OEM to make it happen.
it’s only dumb until you’re upside down in your car because someone plowed into your car.
Side curtain airbags have been a thing since the late 90s.
The trend has actually reversed a bit in some vehicles actually. In the case of Honda, for example, revised hot stamping manufacturing methods means that pillars have gotten slimmer than their 2010s predecessors, which is part of a general trend of holding the line on weight in order to meet fuel economy (and CO2)…
Those with a short memory have probably already forgotten that this happened once during the Obama years, back when the goal had no teeth and the technology wasn’t there yet.
The comparison to Takata airbags is disingenuous, since Takata was actually criminally charged for their conduct regarding airbags (fraud).
The Macau GP track. This street circuit has the distinction of hosting both car and motorcycle races, and also the distinction of always making headlines with deaths, injuries, pileups. It’s an absolute clown show. A quick search of Jalopnik articles on the track include:
CCS is not proprietary, it is an IEC standard; Tesla’s charger is.
