I used to sell Mercedes and got to drive a lot of cars during that time, I agree on paper the G is stupid. But drive one if you ever get a chance, they really are special feeling, even compared to a Range Rover or other big luxury SUVs. They’re stupid, but I get it.

Couple things:

When you put something on autopay, you give consent for them to take the payment out of your account on a regular basis for your own convenience. There’s a bigger number of monthly expenses than ever these days, and along with that comes each expense’s unique login which if you can remember great, but I’m not even old…

Honestly, why is this a bad thing? A household with a married couple probably has at least four cards, two debit cards and two credit cards. They expire at different times and you get updated ones with new numbers. It’s a pain in the ass to remember what’s on each, log into each service (that you probably hadn’t…

1. Alfa Giulia QV for daily and modern performance.

I honestly don’t get what’s so wrong about these. Being an American car company they could have messed it up in so many ways mechanically. It could have been FWD, could have had a 4-speed auto, could have given up on the V8 due to size constraints and gone with a V6 with less power (I don’t deride the Prowler for this…

That’s user error, when you spill root beer on the controller your A button might stick.

I was going to say hit it with some lightning, it’ll slow down enough you won’t be able to crash into anything.

It’s important to remember that these are not smart systems, they look for very specific things.

My new car has a big sunroof up front and a glass panel over the rear. I’ll only buy cars that have sunroofs unless it’s a convertible. The main reason is I like the light coming in and can always close it when it’s hot out, but also because I won’t do a light headliner (too easy to get dirty and impossible to clean)…

Get a BMW with a B58, go up or down from an M340i to suit your size needs. They’re plenty quick, easy to find basically new within budget, and the engine is reliable.

The original Audi TT.

Why does every car in every article featuring a copart auction with “minor exterior damage” also look like someone took a baseball bat to the interior? Honestly I was expecting worse on the outside given the passenger side was hidden behind the “read more” button but damn that interior is ratty.

The interior lighting is a big thing mentioned here. I wouldn’t recommend cranking a digital dash all the way up, but if you have indirect ambient lighting in your car, turn it up at night. It keeps your eyes adjusted much better, and not sure if it’s scientific or not but if the lights are color-changing I’ve found a…

Even Acura? It seems to me like if it’s not a Tesla, it’s always an MDX that’s glaring.

That’s something that was common when EVs were brand new to a manufacturer back in 2021/2022, when supply of everything was short and they maybe got one at a time and didn’t really care. I was just at a VW dealer yesterday (and not a big one) and they had a full lineup of ID4s outside. They definitely know about them…

I wish every new driver would be required as part of driver’s ed and behind the wheel training to do one of those teen safety schools they hold at local tech colleges. They set up an autocross-style small track around the CDL road course and give kids a chance to do emergency maneuvers in a safe environment. They can…

He says they’re worried about nothing because the cars aren’t out yet. Not that they’re not worried about the fact that there may be some EVs with real demand that are better than the ones they currently have on sale (can’t tell me the Scout won’t be worse than the ID4) that they won’t be able to sell, while those…

Don’t assume all far-right people live in trailer parks, there are plenty with lots of money. They either keep it to themselves though or have enough money to not care what others think, and are likely retired so they don’t have a job to lose for posting ridiculous shit online.

I think the lesson here really is just know your customer base. Just like Elon is alienating his customer base, Mike Lindell would lose all of his customers if he partnered with the Obamas.
