Sadly, this really is our autonomous future. We won’t own our cars, we will just pay for the service and one of these pods will show up whenever we need one.

I think there should be compulsory military service for all young men and women. Especially with all the butt hurt feelings, safe spaces kids seem to need today. Time to toughen up.

Agreed. The GT is better looking than the Touring, but gives up all the practicality that the Touring had.

I’m noticing the dual exhaust on this one...

I totally agree. The only thing missing from the GT is power. It already looks like it has power, just never actually had any.

I had a 2013 Elantra GT and loved it. The only thing wrong with it was a lack of power. Never understood why they didn’t sell better.

A mess sunshade? How GM of Tesla. Why hasn’t Musk thought of this:

If you can get an HEL, you can get a 0% credit card and do a balance transfer instead. Makes more sense than risking your house

It’s absolutely insane. People do do it all the time, same with taking a home equity loan to pay off credit cards. Let me think - you want to pay an unsecured debt with secured debt? Makes no sense to me. Why put all your eggs in one basket? If you get into money trouble, you’d rather have a paid for car and lose your

In a world where people live inside their phones, swiping away or blocking conflicts, people have lost the ability to handle face to face confrontation, and the result is a violent outburst. Here is but the latest example.

It's a struggle to get jalopnik to load quickly on my phone. I would doubt the connectivity speeds would allow a remote human driver to save the day in an emergency

Mazda is timing the diesel intro to the returns of Alfa and Saab so it will be a big party.

I agree with skipping this model and getting the regular Turbo with the navigation (with the much needed backup camera). That’ll get you the panoramic sunroof too, which is really nice. Since these depreciate wildly, save $10k and get a 2 year old one. These really aren’t on the hoon’s radar, so finding a clean one

People have figured out the scam of the manufacturers charging extra for there exciting colors, only to have the dealers tell them the color won’t sell and is worth less at trade in time.

Go ahead and argue that last $300, but if they let you walk (and risk losing the sale), it’s you and not them.

If you know CT, then you know our government has no clue. We are doomed. I do love how many rats in the legislature are jumping ship and retiring, now that has become clear that the gravy train is over. Good riddance.

In Connecticut, that “dealer conveyance fee” is considered by the state to be a service fee and is subject to sales tax. So the dealers can set that fee at whatever price they want, but have to charge it to everyone so the state gets their cut.

That’s half the fun of having kids - being able to fuck with their minds.

In today’s sharing economy (as in, share other people’s stuff with other people) charging different people different prices strikes people as unfair. Is there a safe space for surge paying Uber passengers?

Maybe instead of crying about Bernie still being in the race, you should recognize that Hillary has ALWAYS been a terrible, position shifting politician. There aren’t many Democrats that are excited about her candidacy, except for some middle aged white ladies who grew up in the women’s lib movement. All the energy is
