Is there like an emergency stop button in these things? There has to be some kind of manual override for insanity like this video. Right? Or do you just sit there helplessly screaming with no recourse?

They look like a hearse. Hideous.

The credit system is a pretty good indicator of “do you pay back your debts, or not.” As a consumer asking to borrow money from businesses that are not charities, those businesses like to know if you suck with money. It’s not really an unknowable issue.

A 1999 Hyundai Elantra, only a year old with 12k miles on it. That car was an absolute lemon for the 2.5 years I had it. Yes it was under warranty but it spent so much time at the dealer getting fixed my friends were getting sick of loaning me their cars. I got rid of it at a loss just before the bumper-to-bumper…

I had a 2012 and now a 2017. I wish I had the Bose, my ‘12 did but the ‘17 is just an LT. Even so I love the car.

The movie Flight was not a behavorial instruction manual.

I’m sorry, SUV coupe? Do words have meanings anymore?

When I graduated college and U-Haul gave my 22-year-old self the keys to a box truck to move 3 hours away. I had never driven anything larger than my parents’ Grand Caravan. Thankfully nothing went badly in the end but it was a nail-biter driving this thing up I-95 and then through center city Philadelphia.

None. Save the market research for the people who need to do it.

No opportunity to shit on the Bolt shall ever be missed here.

I had a rental Jetta (I think a 2015?) with that engine in it and while the rest of the car was a pleasure that engine was not. It felt like a boat anchor and it didn’t even get very good mpg numbers while doing it.

You’ll have to be a lot more specific because the 2.7 V6 that went into a ton of Hyundais and Kias in the mid-2000s was damn near unkillable. There’s so many OLD Sonatas, Tuscons, Santa Fe, and Sportages running around with that engine in it and they just go and go. I have a 2006 example in my driveway now and while…

I thought the first-gen cloud cars had one of the nicest interiors for the time. There was just something pleasing about them to me. 16-year-old me in 1997 wanted a Breeze reaaal bad.

The Breeze was the bargain version of the 3 cloud cars so it probably wasn’t rocking 4 wheel discs.

I’ve been driving a Chevy Volt exclusively since 2015, first a 2012 now a 2017 and yeah - unless I’m driving out of town I’m not using gas. It’s great and I don’t get why more people don’t know this yet.

They weren’t. The commenters on the original article misunderstood the assignment, hard.

The CSX is a total outlier though, the turbo I that most Shadows would have had was 150/180 hp/torque and the V6 was 141/172. Barely a downgrade, plus reduced complexity, better drivability for most situations, and didn’t require premium gas. So I understand why they did it at least.

‘87-92 there was a turbo option, either the 2.2 or the 2.5 depending on year. ‘93-94 the turbo went away in favor of the 3.0 v6. I don’t *think* the turbo and the dark green color had any overlap but I could be wrong here.
