You should really take a MSF BRC

The Canadian Border Patrol is too busy hassling Americans that accidentally drift into Canadian waters while fishing on the St. Lawrence.

I feel like Chris Bangle when he was talking to Jason Castriota on the release of the Saab Phoenix; what makes this a Chrysler?

Yes. The first car I remember having one was my dad’s ‘97 A8 and I don’t remember liking it then, and I still don’t like it despite him (and my mom) owning numerous cars since then with a heated wheel. His current A7 has it, and I’ve never used it the few times I’ve borrowed it. Same with my mom’s F150; it auto turns…

I’m the complete opposite, every time I see heated steering wheel, I wonder why the fuck people would pay for that. And I say this as someone that lives in the frigid northeast.

I just updated the numbers. At $0.10/kWh, 15,000 miles (98% electric), and $3.50/gallon, it’s still a 6+ year ROI on the extra cost over the AWD version and 13 years on the FWD version.

Less interior space, especially in the back, and also worse fuel economy because it’s a tad less slippery.

Wow, you are actually right. I always thought the gen2 Volt had worse ergonomics/packaging for the backseat compared to the first generation. But that’s wrong. It’s basically the same except for 0.1" of extra rear legroom. Heck, the even added a seatbelt for the middle “seat”.

That’s one thing that has confused me so much about modern car seats; why are they so damn thick? I’m not ready to suggest we make them this thin, but airline seats are like less than 1/4 the overall thickness, even if we ignore the side bolsters.

Include inflation into that...

Standard hybrids often make more sense than plug-in version for most brands. The added cost for the plug-in capability often far out weighs the additional gas savings you’ll get. I priced out a Prius Prime vs a Prius AWD and it would take almost 20 years for the fuel savings of the Prime to cover the extra upfront…

I’m not sure how that impacts it, but I don’t believe it means he “made” $103k and then really had to pay out Uber $38k.  I believe in reality it’s closer that Uber made $103k and paid him out from that.

Yeah. I know. I’m talking about the changes from the 4th gen Prius to the 5th gen Prius. It’s less functional but more stylish. It’s the same thing Chevrolet tried when they released the 2nd gen Volt; they made it less functional but more stylish than the generation it replaced.  I’m pointing out that it didn’t work…

I find it funny that Toyota did what Chevrolet basically did with the Volt.  They made it a bit less functional but better looking.  It seems to be working for Toyota, and yet it didn’t work for Chevrolet.  I think it’s because the the timing more than anything...

That still seems like a creepy take.  To me, don’t send anyone dick pics unless they ask for them.  Even then, consider the power dynamic between you and them.  If you are someone’s boss, don’t put them in the position to have to say no to recieving dick pics.

Plus, that $38k in Uber fees were never his to start with? Doesn’t Uber collect everything, and then pay him out what he is owed? Attributing that $38k in fees as if it were his income, seems a bit silly from a book keeping perspective. Seems like the article should really say that the Uber driver generated $103k in…

Why not?

That’s irrelevant, since FOM still invited GM to make engines in 2028, which was the target date for them anyways. Andretti wants to join in 2026, use a Renault engine for two years (branded as Cadillac) and then in 2028 with the new engine regs, use an actual GM/Cadillac engine. If your first point held any water,…

Frank Stella’s is pretty rad.

I don’t want to put borders for which art should operate in, but Eliasson clearly deviated from the process. It looks kinda cool, but it also looks ridiculous; a shell placed over a vehicle. You could put the shell—which is the effective art—over top nearly anything other than a car, and it wouldn’t change, which I…
