Understood. I am the same way; I always want to be the driver. I guess you can say I don’t trust other people to make the right decisions. Machines are different. I have worked with enough to trust them way more. There is no doubt that automation is way more reliable and consistent than humans. Can’t really argue with…

I don’t completely disagree with this but there is a bigger difference between “quality” and “price”. Brakes are a good example. There are $50 pads that will work better than $150 pads but work much better than $10 pads. And since when does a “good” mechanic automatically mean “expensive”? So, the only good mechanics…

I doubt that 777 engine would even cough. They’re tested with whole chickens.

Seat controls would be a great thing to add to the big touch screens (in addition to seat mounted). Think about it, a big graphical profile of a seat, and as you touch it, it moves. And once you have it set, there is a lock button so it cannot be easily changed. They can bury it in a sub-menu because this is something…

If she can’t figure them out on the side, she ain’t going to figure them out on the door. It’s a simple thing, reach down and hit a button. 

Rolling tires have the best traction. Don’t use your brakes and try to turn on snow covered roads. Tried that and slid straight, let go of the brakes and the car went right around the corner with no problems.

Mine doesn’t even have those. No lines what-so-ever.

I tried the setting and I couldn’t stand it. I guess in a truck, the angle is too steep so you see nothing but a tire. I can’t actually see what is behind me. I can see where it would work to get close to a curb but I never need to do that. I would prefer a camera option that shows that view.

Overrated...sorry.

Gotta admit, this the best idea no one thinks about. Sure would reduce frustration with door dings and parking overall.

Agreed. It’s like towing specs....oooh, this truck tows 11K! And that one only a mere 10.5K....worthless!!

Too hot to drink coffee? Dafuq? No such thing. Next thing you know, you’ll say it’s too cold to drink beer.

Probably with a pic of that Suburban!!

It’s not so much ugly as it is stupid looking. Just not practical or logical. First thing I notice, wheels that extend way beyond the rubber. Yeah, those are gonna see some damage and look like shit in a week.

I refuse to lose tools. Spent a Sunday searching for a 3/8" socket after wrenching on my Jeep all Saturday. Too many years working on aircraft where that is unacceptable. Hell, if you shattered the tip on a Philips bit, they wanted the pieces.

Easy way to remember; everything is water resistant to a certain point. I don’t trust anything that says it’s waterproof. Even the Hoover dam leaks. For gadgets, just read the IP chart.

The way I read it, he replaced the one on his Tacoma and was just commenting on the Prius.

Yeah, pretty much this. Perfect casting. 

Da fuq? That is funny! 

Same with Ram. You can take the current incentives and lock them in or change to the incentives that are available at the time of delivery. I think that’s more common than not.
