It wasn’t just Honda that made a solid vehicle 13 yeas ago; my 2006 3 Series with 175,000 on the odo has absolutely zero rattles as well. And other than normal replacement items (which do cost more because of the badge), it’s been fantastically reliable to boot. All this in spite of my abuse.

I don’t know that I am thinking of the same thing as you, but the one I’m thinking of that people usually point to to say “see, AWD does help you stop” really only proved that a 4WD system (not AWD) will override ABS by mechanically locking all 4 wheels together which tricks the system into thinking the vehicle is…

Yeah, but in this instance turned out she was right.  Our use-case isn’t suited for an OLED as badly as I want one.  Our kids would destroy it, is what it boils down to.

Like many things, other people will ruin it on those of us using it responsibly. But, since we’re a society that caters to the LCD (Lowest Common Denominator) routinely, it only seems appropriate that we eliminate this dirge on society immediately.  Or tax the shit out of tweets.  

At first I was wondering why the police would want crackdowns, they mean more work for little to no results of actual crime reduction, but then I thought about Detective Brock’s “undercover” work. Could their desire for crackdown support be as simple as to justify their own participation in this activity? The only “pro…

See, this is good judgement. While I love OLED TVs and wish they were perfect for everyone, the truth is they’re simply not. As long as you’re honest with yourself about this, you won’t make the wrong choice.

What’s interesting is how when the UAW is entrenched, companies over-build the shit out of failing lines of cars and then discount the shit out of them to move the inventory. GM acts like an abuse-victim with PTSD by applying this same philosophy to their non-UAW loused plants.  Is it a wonder why they then become…

I’ll respect a fast crossover once manufacturers stop raising their center of gravity unnecessarily, stop making them unnecessarily heavy, and stop killing their utility with ridiculous design language like the sloped back glass that kills the usable cargo space within the hatch area.

I think (read: hope) they were culled after not realizing immediately that the toolbox that plowed into the Ford bed to make a hole was not the same toolbox that bounced harmlessly around in the Chevy bed “moments” later.

I guess I have a hard time forgetting back in the day when gas “shot” from ~$0.99/gal to ~$1.60/gal and my poor mother was shell shocked at the sudden increase. I was young and impressionable and that spike in fuel costs caused a struggle in our house that I still hold onto to this day. But you’re right, what we pay…

Yes, people are very stupid.

Well, you’d be justified if you were. The way we treat different statuses is borderline criminal. I love the Patriots, I feel prostitution should be legal, I have no issue with Kraft seeking the affections of a paid hand-job-ologist, but if they’d SWAT a poor black guy for this, they sure as shit better be willing to…

I think if Toyota was smart they’d figure out how to incorporate a wiper into this.  It could stow up in the spoiler overhang area while not in use, and only come on if the window was closed.  Simple.

A Song of Ice and Fire? Clearly that means the final battle is between White Walkers and Dragons. All the armies of Westeros are summarily crushed between the 2 real armies in this war. Dog Army makes an appearance, sure, but probably only to save what’s left of the Starks from being crushed.

I can’t see how, New Englanders are moving away from the weather, not the things that make NE good like fresh seafood. And we’re all aware of how lousy with serial killers Ohio is, so there’s nothing enticing about Indiana being so close to Ohio plus have the crappy weather.

North Carolina is the new Florida for Northerners to relocate to who don’t want alligators, pythons, and softball-sized flying insects.

This is called a body line, or body crease. It’s for the same reason as that crease across both doors of the Volvo; structural support. They used to achieve this by making Fender Flairs, and then the flairs started having larger and larger flat areas. Just go back and look at cars through the generations, it becomes…

I think the reason the CRV makes more sense is directly proportional to the number of CRVs one sees on the road vs the BMW thing. People who buy CRVs are, essentially, waving the white flag at life. It’s a pathetic appliance, nothing more. No one has ever excitedly told other people about their “awesome new CRV” after…

People on this site aren’t buying up CRVs with reckless abandon, our parents, aunts, uncles, in laws, and coworkers are. How in shit are we supposed to overcome that tidal wave of stupidity when the Manufacturers are so eager to encourage it?  We’re a minority, simple as that.  Might as well get used to it.
