I had cars in the early 2000's with engine immobilizer “chip” keys. How is that not standard in 2022? 

As far as delivery and construction vehicles sometimes there's no better option. If it's a choice between blocking traffic or unloading a truck and carrying everything from blocks away I know which one I'm doing.

Ugh. Just provide a method for people to submit a photo of the vehicle blocking the bike lane with the license plate clearly visible and the city can send them a ticket similar to a parking ticket, a non-moving violation.

In my experience of living 10 years in New York City, the biggest offenders of parking in bicycle lanes are police officers, either in their city owned police cruisers, or in their private vehicles with their NYPD “get out of jail free” placard. I’m not surprised that the NYPD police union is opposed to the law. If…

Even before “computers” displays GM could not make a functioning analog display

That’s a feature, not a bug. The solution to many bugs is to reboot, so they just built in an automatic 30 minute reboot cycle so that by the time the owner calls in with an issue the system has already rebooted clearing the issue (for now). computer troubleshooting 101, Dodge has it automated now.

These large screens, which are proliferating across models up and down the price spectrum (all the way from high to very high), have to be ticking time bombs in cars. I’m talking about replacement cost when the vehicle doesn’t have that many years on it, and thanks to boiling heat combined with freezing cold cycles,…

My opinion is that we should do away with gender designations altogether on things like passports and drivers licences. I don’t see a legitimate reason for them.

Well, I guess I better go sit in the corner in shame, then...

That grille...such a looming monster of a face. I don’t get it, but then I think a pickup should look like a pickup—shame on me.

A stinking slideshow for even this? Whoever at Gizmo is forcing writers to use slideshows, please be like Erasure and show a little respect.

There really isn’t a premium for this package, it actually makes the truck cheaper if you were going to get the LED lighting upgrade and the night edition already. Plus it ads fender flares. In the end it saves a little bit depending on what options you were going to pick. 

That’s especially relevant these days. The amount of raging dickishness exhibited in public has skyrocketed in the last several years, and it really needs to stop. 

You about sum it up. You can do whatever you want with your car, until it imposes a negative externality or risk to others.

The idea that putting others at risk because you think it looks cool is ok. That covers more than just street racing. It includes shit like the Carolina Squat, stretched tires, severe camber, and any other visual mod that negatively impacts the safety of the car.

Wagons, manual transmissions, diesel engines, cheap and light cars, etc are just as doomed, but somehow it’s still acceptable if not obligatory to mourn them.

Lol some dudes are running 9's and 10's with these on street tires WITH the wheels, my guy. Also, I will absolutely die on this hill, but the online car guy hatred for these is ridiculous. If you don’t like the look, whatever, it’s subjective and I get that, but sooooooo many people just dismiss donk/bigwheel cars as…

I would never Donk my own car but whenever I see one on the road I giggle. Just saying the word ‘Donk’ is funny.

Hard disagree. Donks look awesomely stupid but individual builds aren’t going out hurting people inadvertently or doing dumb shit like racing in public for clout. Donk builds know where they stand in car culture, and they’re fine where they are.

Counterpoint: do these actually hurt anyone? I see rolling coal below and obviously sideshows above, but I don’t really see any issue with people making their cars the way they like them. This is ONLY pertaining to the modifications, not what an owner does after the car is modified (drag race, donuts in an…
