I saw a surprising number of Jeeps in Italy, but I bet ask any of the owners and they would say they bought an Italian car.

I don’t think that’s correct. Look at a photo of the interior where you can see the driver door panel and there are 3 window switches. The rear passenger window on the side of the car without a rear door was not designed to roll down at all, but all the other windows can definitely be controlled by the driver.

Even modern ICE cars are not completely silent, and garages tend to be echoey places. I’m guessing several of the vehicles involved in these incidents were hybrids. They probably weren’t even running their gas engines while parking, so the owner believes the car is turned off even though it isn’t. Later on when the

Fake exhausts. While I do like the look of visible exhaust tips, if a car has hidden exhaust, it should own it!

Having a tail light with no visible amber portion that lights up amber to signal is definitely possible, most car manufacturers have been designing these for decades now.

The Audi sequential signals are actually amber and separate from the brake lights in every world market outside of North America. It’s only here that they are dumbed down thanks to outdated regulations, red and combined with brake lights. Some models (A6, Q7, VW Arteon and facelift Golf) designed with sequential

I rode in a friend’s rental lot special Dodge Avenger once. I got into the passenger seat and went to close the door, and instead ripped the flimsy plastic trim piece with the handle and window switch completely out of its hole. Apparently it had just been sitting there loosely, held in place only by the wiring

People who leave their garbage in my car... The door storage bins are NOT a trashcan.

Mine is also a regular old Civic EX, except red and a couple generations newer. Even with the CVT and without the turbo, it still handled like a champ and was a blast to drive. It was my DD for a year and a half before I upgraded to a WRX, it’s still in the family though. I definitely miss averaging 33mpg with a lead

My WRX does not have anything even close to resembling a sunglasses holder, but one can dream.

Even the Kuga is sold in America. The main difference is it has an Escape badge on the back.

Be honest - you only took this photo for the YJ, didn’t you...

I think European brands started doing that first and most have had it for years, but now it’s spread to pretty much all new cars. In my household we have a BMW 330i, Honda Civic, and Subaru WRX that all do 3 blinks with a quick tap.

Almost hard to believe this is a 10+ year old economy car.

In NJ you’re required to take a whole 6(!) hours of lessons before being bestowed with a permit. I pestered my parents for these lessons daily after turning 16, and finally got them after like 6 months.

This is why you never doze off behind the wheel.

Why do I feel like I’ve seen this before...

From what I’ve heard it actually makes driving stick easier. If you stall the engine, just pressing the clutch on many start stop cars (I’m not sure if they all do this) fires it back up for you rather than having to fumble for the key or start button while everyone behind you starts honking.

Honestly start stop systems shouldn’t cause any problems at all if you know how to use them. Admittedly I’ve only driven one car equipped with one (2014 BMW 328i) and I’m not sure if all cars from all manufacturers behave the same way. But from my experience it was pretty simple to get used to.
