Interconnection between cars and infrastructure is already in development specifically for adapting into autonomous cars. How else do you expect them to signal intent and function? Sensors or cameras looking for blinking turn signals or red lights can be blocked by debris, and this is already a problem with parking…

I hate to be that guy, but my paranoia has served me well in avoiding social media so screw it. You listed recalls, I’ll list data breaches.

And your employer would expect you to work during your commute, but they wouldn’t pay you because you aren’t at the office.

Exactly.

They removed the retraction mechanism because no one used it.  If I had the digital cockpit, I’d never use the center screen, and I don’t think there’s a point to having both when the digital cockpit can show everything the center screen does.

Maybe they should use the Voodoo 5.2 this time?

Remember, without a union, the law always favors the business.

Good on you for dodging the tranny problems. I’ve read that Sync 3 is a night and day improvement over Sync 2, for what it’s worth.  I can’t believe Ford allowed Sync 2 to reach consumers.

My mom just picked up a 2019 Mazda3 and she loves it.  I was super impressed with the quality of the interior materials considering the price.  Good for Mazda for throwing down like this, hopefully it increases sales.  They deserve it.

As a former Ford Focus lessee, I can confirm. The only things I hated about my car was Sync 2 and the god awful transmission. Even the recall fix, replacing the clutch pack and updating the TCU software, ultimately did nothing.  I haven’t had that car for four years and I still remember what it was like being jerked…

Please quantify the total amount of pollution that fireplaces around the world output in a year, and then compare it to our cars, and then compare that to manufacturing and power generation before making idiotic statements like that.

My headcanon is that Cap was almost worthy in AoU, but he was keeping a big friendship-ending secret from Tony and that was a problem.  After Tony and Steve left their differences in the past and moved on, now he’s worthy of Mjolnir.

At some point in the next six months I’ll be moving, likely to South Carolina.  I’m trying to avoid HOAs at all costs, but its proving somewhat difficult.

Sensationalism drives clicks more than the realistic approach.

There’s a gym just across the street from my office. Occasionally when my GPS signal and data connection is spotty, I’ll wander in range of the gym from my desk.  I’ve always got control of that gym. Go Instinct!

Yup.  Here’s my thought process:  Is it clear next to the rig? Yep.  Is it clear in front of the rig? Yep.  Floor it past the rig and get into their line of sight as fast as possible.

Sure it can be done, but would you trust someone else’s work and buy a twincharged car?

Another bonus is an additional intake and turbocharger, which the seller says he was planning to bolt on in series with the supercharger.

That’s Mr. Ascot McSmooveingthon III, Esq. to you, good sir.

But they formed a union so they must be professionals.
