I’d say most average car buyers. Nobody seems willing to do any research before walking on to the lot, and far too many people fall for the “four squares” bullshit. This makes them easy marks to roll for maximum profit.

How is the Equinox still a thing? I had the misfortune to rent one of those shitbuckets a couple of years ago and it was the second worst “modern” vehicle I’ve ever driven, after a Peugeot 3008.

There’s no difference between pulling through forwards, or reversing into the same space.

Ugh. That’s the sort of thing that ought to be national/federal level. 

I’m guessing American trucks don’t have Class VI front projection mirrors? Designed to prevent exactly this scenario?

$44 to sit on a ramp in a freezing aircraft for 8 hours? Bargain!

First - from the linked article:

Jeez I hate the old motorbike-on-a-trailer thing. It always looks so unnatural to have the bike bolt upright with no handlebar movement. And worse, when he looks over his shoulder and the bike is leaned over a little bit and still going “in a straight line”. Ugh.

Full english breakfast = bacon (not that rectangular burned-to-a-crisp exploding facon crap you have in America), fried eggs, sausage, beans, toast. Sometimes a fried tomato. Unless you work outside or have the metabolism of a race horse, it’s something best enjoyed once a week  - not every morning.

There are plenty of adults in Utah that insist on wearing flip flops in all weathers then moan and bitch when it gets cold. I just don’t get it.

Touché. I can’t decide if that’s worse or not :)

Barefoot just feels wrong to me. I don’t feel like I can get the pressure on the brake pedal for some reason and the rubber edges are uncomfortable. Even just a basic racing shoe with a thin sole is better than nothing IMHO.

He was reading off teleprompters. We need to wait for his 3am cocaine-fueled tweetstorm to know what he really thinks.

A well thought out and insightful response. I expect this to disappear into the greys. FWIW I learned a lot from those few paragraphs.

If your tractor blows out the rear seal on the PTO, plugging a computer in isn’t going to tell you anything. I think that’s the problem - too many “mechanics” plug a computer in, it says “everything is fine” and they don’t know where to go from there.

So they’re basically really big, really expensive inkjet printers?

Now THAT is fucking brilliant !

Given they’re able to detect the height of the truck, it seems like bollards rising from the road or sliding into place from the side would be a good measure. Although I’m 100% certain the drivers would just drive into those instead :(
