When I owned a Model Y, I had more issues with people using the emergency release than anything. Using it requires re-indexing the windows, which isn’t a huge deal but kind of a nuisance. I got in the habit of telling every passenger that they needed to press the button to exit, not use the very obvious emergency

Yeah. I used to think that too.

Most of the time. My Jaguar F-Type SVR has an obnoxious crackle tune from the factory. I can make it make as much noise as I want on command. I cannot make it be quiet on command.

My Ridgeline tailgate and the trunk in the floor have made me not want to trade my Ridgeline in on any other truck. 

I know someone who ran a BHPH lot. This is exactly how it works.

“good luck if anything goes sideways.”

If you fly direct, you’ll probably never lose a bag. I’ve flown somewhere around half a million miles now. I’ve had bags “lost” (they’ve always been delivered to me a few days later) about half a dozen times. Without fail, they were on a flight with a connection. If you have to rush to make your connection, your bags

I lived for two years in Seattle. This is completely abnormal in Austin, Texas but absolutely to be expected in Seattle — particularly getting off I-5 downtown.

I swear the Stinger eventually became the Aztek as it moved through the dysfunctional GM machine of the 90's. 

The police are trained professionals and put this plan into motion but this is a very chaotic situation and you must expect that mistakes get made and must be forgiven. You can’t expect the police to be perfect.

You basically have three levels of car thieves.

I notice in the original article there’s a misconception that the Z8's tail lights are LEDs.  They aren’t.  Those are neon tubes in there!  You can also see the tubes better in the front turn signals. 

My big thing in 30 years of driving is this: have you ever heard of anyone actually killing their fuel pump in the process of running the tank low?

I was there too. The Yugo is an interesting car to me today for many reasons, but we shouldn’t pretend that it was ever anything other than the cheapest car on the market by a huge margin.

Headlights from that era were terrible.  We just didn’t know it because HIDs hadn’t been developed yet.  I’m amazed every time I drive a vintage car at night.  How did we see? 

Yes, I can back that up.

“The Cybertruck exoskeleton is made from Tesla’s own stainless steel alloy, referred to as the Ultra-hard 30X Cold-rolled Stainless Steel. While the blend is proprietary, Elon mentioned during the product launch that the exoskeleton material of the vehicle is the same as the SpaceX Starship

I don’t think the CyberTruck has to be a hit.

Stef, Mazda did make a Miata coupe.   It was awesome. 

Tint is really polarizing, but not for anyone who lives in the Southern US. I care less about how it looks or anything else, it’s about keeping the sun off of me and out of my car as much as possible. Here in Central Texas, getting into a car without tint in the summer is like stepping into an oven.  You can burn

Actually, now that I look at 1:52 in the initial video, you can see them accelerate as the forward collision alarm goes off — which is another way you can override the braking. You can see the shift in momentum in the car, you can see the right leg moving, and most damning, you can watch the car go from a steady 57
