Now, with AWD, there are just more drivers overconfident in their vehicles with less clue about what’s going on between the rubber and the road.

From Boston, and you’re not the only one who remembers. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ihPJj3UTPIY&t=3m10s

That’s the same reason Chrysler is dying. All the development went into Crossovers and SUVs. It just so happens that an SUV carries a lot more weight with a Jeep badge than it would as a Chrysler. The lineup between Jeep and Chrysler is almost a mirror image of what it was 30 years ago. Back then there were only 3…

This might sound counterintuitive, but Chrysler could use this as the opportunity to go full luxe. Use the new French platforms and make a real run for the luxury market. Without it, it has no real reason to exist.

What about integration of panels into the hardtops. Yes, it's only good for a relatively limited number of miles per day, but it completely frees you from any sort of land based infrastructure (albeit slowly). Even gasoline can only get you as far as your Jerry cans can go. Built in solar offers a basically unlimited…

Everything referenced in the article IS established tech. A missing locknut on a ball joint punch bolt? Missing hardware in an electrical junction box? Improperly stamped body panels? That's all old tech, and potentially hazardous. Tesla may be on the bleeding edge, but that's no excuse for slacking on basic quality…

Apple Maps was a kneejerk reaction to kick Google out of the Apple ecosystem. Given how heated things were between the two companies at the time, I’d say it was luck that there was any map software when Google was pushed out.

Every minute, try every 10 seconds. Every bolt was animated coming out. that means a new frame every 2-3 turns of the bolts. I’m amazed he was able to do this within one day.

Fair point, but this day and age, you’re much more likely to have at least one piston in the engine than either a carburetor or a mechanical fan.

Logistically, the best bet here is to convert one of the drivetrains to a slushbox. That probably means the Subaru. You could put the autostick in the VW side, but you'd still be shifting with two hands and zero hands on the wheel. 

Not only that, if you’re going to make that big of a change, why make the icon LESS distinctive. If anything, go with something more easily recognized as “Engine”

“PUT IT IN H!”

Is there nobody who is going to talk about Musk moving the gear selector to the touchscreen?

And the physical buttons are on opposite sides of the steering wheel, to make it easy to find the left or right turn button without looking down. 

No arguments here, but not many schools have charging infrastructure built yet, and Ford has completely axed the 6.8l V10 that BlueBird was using up til now.  This just makes sense.

Try over a plate of tortilla chips. Then 15 sec in the microwave for nachos. 

Torch picked the wrong Sunfire for the pic. One with the vents below the hood is a dead ringer.

It’s not even so much the carrier itself, it’s the name choice in this context. If it was “Bob’s Trucking,” nobody would say a word.

I’m so sorry torch. This is one of those moments when you realize you had something and threw it out. We had the full setup, complete with laserdisc player and testing control pad, in our breakroom until last year. I wish I had photos. It was amazing!

Really?
