Those were never too secure, secret compartments are better.

I mean, there’d be a key for that, but it would stay home most of the time.

Like that, but without ugly numbers on the doors or me having to remember a PIN

Subaru has a button on the trunk, but it’s one of those “jump on one foot, blink twice, clap three times...” kind of thing to program, and then you have to remember all the code to unlock the car.

Not on standby, press a button and have the camera switch on to recognize your face. I’m thinking as a secondary way to unlock the car for when you want to leave phone/keys inside.

Sort of, won’t get damaged by water but can still be lost or stolen, and give access to the car to whomever has it.

For going surfing for example, it would be best to be able to leave your phone locked inside the car and not have to worry about a fob that could get damaged by water or sand (or lost, stolen, whatever).

Cars shouldn’t even have keys anymore, just be programmed through the user’s phone through Bluetooth or NFC, with a fingerprint reader as backup or iris scanning. Would feel awesome and liberating to not have to carry a key everywhere (and also great for going to the beach, kayaking or running).

Tsurus are quickly going away also; last time I was in Mexico City most cabs were Versas (and also Uber) which are at least a more modern design and probably have at least a driver’s airbag.

Agreed

This was going to be my comment as well, I bought a beater truck recently and it was pretty cheap also because of some rust that scared buyers away. Looking closely at the frame, suspension and mechanicals and they were all fine so I went for it.

Don’t forget the Jalops outside the US! I mean, if you do I’m sure we’ll find a way but Amazon Video (a la Grand Tour) or something similar would be much easier and better.

Lovely display of body roll starting around 5:00

Taking a 2CV, with all 4 tires on, on the highway is still not a very good idea, given they top out at around 55-65 MPH.

Definitely, my SEAT with a NA 2.0 engine and similarly sized fuel tank can only do about 220 km (135 miles) if kept around 190 (around 115).

If the engine sounds nice, near a long tunnel

That’s the hard part, a phone can easily determine if it’s in a car, but it cannot determine if the person trying to use it is driving or a passenger in the car.

This being Brazil I think there’s a high probability that it’ll actually be fixed, especially as it looked to be in pretty good shape before the accident.

Yeah the dog definitely never found those $400,000 in my pocket.

From a power and aerodynamics perspective it’s definitely feasible. The Auto Union type C did 236 MPH in 1937; problem was tires definitely weren’t safe at those speeds and wouldn’t be either during the 1950's. Being so long and low it would have been terrible as a road car, also having drum brakes on the front of a…
