The touchscreen shifter is an ergonomic disaster surpassing the equally brain dead touch sensitive shifter that killed Anton Yelchin. A gearshift should be a physical control that moves. While we're at it interior door handles should be physical and mechanical and blindingly obvious.  

This is a great example of an immature organization trying to build an autocratic Ceo’s back of an envelope sketch and failing. It’s like the automotive equivalent of the artificial islands in Dubai that are turning into an ecological disaster or all the urban hellscape pipe dreams like The Line or Charlie Munger's

My father never had an Oldsmobile,  although my grandparents had a couple.  At this price and condition it's a worthy car worth fixing the rust on. 

Citroën Berlingo, the South American car based pickups whose name I can't recall,  Mazda Bongo, it's a HiAce but with a cooler name 

Setting a bead with fire is the spiritual successor of self-vulcanizing patches. I would try this,  but I doubt they made them small enough for a 700x23 bicycle tube. 

I do remember,  but the Vigato nameplate is news to me. A Korean FWD Elan is still superior to an Australian FWD Capri. 

1st gear: I’m not surprised and I’m glad I didn’t pay for any driver nannies. The backup camera is useful, paying attention takes care of the rest

My immediate answer is an E39 M5, peak BMW. After that, any number of cars were either very good,  or perfectly encapsulated an era. A Hummer H2 is objectively bad but instantly evokes George W Bush's second term. 

Basic physics and the notoriously flimsy construction of the Neon made the outcome obvious. I’d like to see the results of hitting something tougher like a Mercedes 190 or a Smart Car. I am also terrified of what would happen to a Citroën AX.

You have just described the Tesla driver rating app used to gatekeep “Partial Self Driving”

Rich entitled arschloch throws tantrum and acts like 2 year old. It must be Tuesday. I  hope karma is visited upon "Ace Rogers"

The Chicken Tax should have been dead for 60 years but Detroit paid better bribes, sorry "campaign contributions"

Faster depreciation than a Maserati is nothing to be proud  of.

Replacement cylinder heads for my truck.  4 bad spark plug repairs on a 5.4 Triton made rebuilt heads the best answer. $1000 in parts and tools, 4 weekends and it runs better than ever but I never want to do it again. 

He was probably working for older crooks.  Juveniles get a lighter sentence so Faginism pays 

Unfortunately we are removing dams to save fish. I think the Klamath dams were dispensible but now they are going after the Snake River dams. Some dams make sense as hydropower, or flood control.  More hydro and pumped storage is good. Nuclear is also good.  

That would be after the 2600Hz "Captain Crunch whistle", and before unlimited long distance became the norm. When you look at the coding standards for slot machines,  compared to voting machines or gas pumps,  you see who really cares about  security.  

I think more in terms of NFA items. There is only one documented criminal use of a registered machine gun, by a police officer committing a murder. 

This matches what I would expect from Tesla’s claims and known information. The .17 HMR was unexpected but legit. I wish he had tried more common rounds like .357 Magnum or 10mm Auto pistol and a .30 rifle. I think heavier, higher velocity pistol round and 7.62 NATO or .30-06 would penetrate like .223/5.56, it looks

.50 BMG is useful for long range or making big noise. There’s no practical civilian use but no doumented criminal misuse so no reason to ban it apart from virtue signaling.
