I think it’s fair to say you’re not truly a car person until you’ve experienced the crushing disappointment of owning an Alfa. So many beautiful-looking cars. Such shite engineering.

Cybertruck looks even worse in brown.

I’m not scared of buying a Jeep - and I get what you’re saying. My point is that suburban mom who buys a Wrangler for the school run shouldn’t have to learn about rock-crawling and death-wobble and why her school tank behaves differently over potholes and bumps. (Then again, I’d say the same thing for not yanking the…

“And a solid rear axle isn’t hurting anyone on an SUV or a Truck”

What’s weird is that people had been doing IRS swaps on Mustangs for ages before Ford made it official. I’m really surprised it took so long. IRS and IFS should be the norm on all road-going vehicles and if you want to revert to industrial revolution designs, that’s where the aftermarket should be. I reckon 99% of…

First time I’ve seen or heard of that. Holy cow. Is this just a Jeep thing or does it affect all solid-axle front suspension? And how is this still a thing in 2019 if it’s been known about since 1941?

No drive means no true 4k movie support which would be disappointing. Streaming 4k - when viewed in a light-controlled environment, projected on to a large screen, with even a half-decent Atmos system, is utterly shite both in picture and sound quality. The only way to properly take advantage of 4k movie content right…

Average uber takes 8 minutes to arrive here, plus a drive in traffic so their total time to uber is close to 15 minutes - three times longer than it would have taken to walk. I’ve tried to point this out on a few occasions without success. I’m always the first one to arrive because I walk. Normally they’re still…

Apologies for the “for fuck’s sake” - I’d been torpedo’d on another (unrelated) post by someone who had no clue what they were talking about.

And as if by magic, you answered your own question. I know people who will take an uber instead of a 5 minute walk. Because they’re the cream of the crop - rich and thick.

That would not surprise me at all.

I think “not knowing you’re surveillancing me” is the issue here - too many people live blinkered lives and don’t understand shit like this. People live in ignorance, thinking they have privacy, then fill their homes with smart speakers and post images of themselves all over FB and Insta.

FFS do some homework before you go calling someone a dumbass.

Blink twice if you need help.

If you have a biometric passport (any passport issued since 2007), they’ve already scanned your face. It’s coded in the RFID chip in the passport cover.

I thought this was common knowledge, but good write-up.

You know what’s great about this? Netflix’s F1 “Drive to survive” crew were actually with Mercedes and Ferrari this year too - the two teams who wouldn’t let them film last year.

Best parking space? As far away from the stores as possible. You’ll most likely be on your own, affording you a chance of not having your door dinged, and meaning you don’t need to deal with suicidal shoppers and traffic jams of people who think that the perfect rock-star space will open up if they drive slow enough.

The press shot looks like stock photos where the logos have been badly painted out to avoid licensing fees.
