I have a story to share on the flipside of this: as an owner renting out my car.

Yeah, but that also begs the question about why the USPS absolutely has to have a weird, customized fleet vehicle. Like what’s so unique about delivering the mail they can’t use the same Ford Transits Amazon uses, or their smaller Transit Connect sibling?

Yeah, I really like Rust Valley Restorers, and some of the cars they produce on the show are pretty sharp. Avery’s shop especially does interesting projects like the mobile band stage built out of a deuce and a half. The premise seems straight out of Pimp my Ride, but the end result seemed genuinely well thought out,…

My wife’s Leaf has Nissan’s “ProPilot” system. It has no eye tracking cameras and requires you to provide some level of torque on the steering wheel every 10 seconds or so. It cannot automatically change lanes, but it can steer itself around highway-type curves (no canyon hairpins), and it easily handles stop and go…

In essence, Ford said don’t blame us.

And, if you want to bring some of your super-rich pals onto your super stupid yacht, you can.

The market would absolutely disagree on ‘90s BMWs, at least for the M cars.

Reading comprehension my dude:

I’m 100% on board with bringing back meaty sidewalls and “normal” shifters.

I can understand changing the shifter design if it offered some kind of tangible benefit, but as in the Honda example, it takes up just as much console/dash space as a handle, but is more confusing to use. The dial ones are even worse.

I’ve…

I’d say a resettable software glitch isn’t much of a problem relative to a battery fire...

Most traction control systems are designed to cut power to stop a wheel from spinning. This makes sense if you’re trying to get yourself moving from stopped, as it gives the tires better odds of gripping the road surface.

However, when driving up a slippery hill, you want momentum to help drive you forward even if a…

“Network Interruption” and steering....JHFC....those two words shouldn’t correlate together. Yet, here we are.

Well crazy timing as I just ordered a Mach-E GT having never driven or sat in one. It’s not for lack of trying: I’ve called every dealer in a reasonable radius for a test drive, but all dealers have are incoming customer cars, which obviously they aren’t giving out test drives in.

Specifying such a large battery is simply someone trying to kill the requirement for EVs, by making them unreasonably expensive.

...pack in a 94 kilowatt hour battery...

You can order full Broncos at MSRP with no markup pretty easily, the problem is the order backlog given the issues with the hardtops, chip shortages, etc. 

My dad ordered his Bronco in November at MSRP, but probably won’t have a build date until late next fall. 

I love AMC weirdness. They seemed to be a lot like America’s version of Citroen.

The Nash Metropolitan had covers over both the front and rear wheels, giving it a sort of boat-like look.

I also noticed that adding the $10k 300mile battery pack forces you to add the $9.5k 312A equipment package, so get the the 300mile battery pack at all, the bare minimum you’re going to spend is $74,169.

If you were like me and hoping for a modestly equipped XLT, but with that larger battery pack in the low $60k…

Plus, the Maverick really brings it when it comes to colors:

What ever happened to using your brain and observing the actual weather and road conditions in front of you?

Oh right, this is 2021 Jalopnik, how dare someone be held responsible for their own actions?
