Yeah it might not get stolen, but that hack still involves breaking into the car by usually the back window, so stolen or not you could still be a target for attempted theft which would end up in a damaged car.

I know the password, 12345. Same as the combination on my luggage!

Is there any way they could defray the cost by using the carbon for something valuable? I bet there would be a market for carbon-capture lab-grown diamonds if that is possible to do, and with the markup for the diamond itself plus paying extra because it’s environmentally-friendly branded it might even be profitable?

The problem is the kids that are stealing Hyundais and Kias don’t know 1. if the vehicle is new enough to have an immobilizer, and 2. if the security fix has been done on a particular older model (from what I’ve seen not nearly enough people have gotten it done). So sadly still any Hyundai or Kia is still a target for…

No BSOD, but I’ve noticed from both cars I’ve owned/driven and from clients of mine when I sold cars that there’s weird things that happen out in the wild, not complete failures but false-positives for safety features, bugs in the systems, etc. that don’t/can’t get reported to the manufacturer. Dealers can’t do…

The new car tech issues sound similar to our dealer experience with tech issues. There needs to be a way to report bugs or weird edge-case issues to the manufacturer. Because dealers aren’t going to find a code for a weird safety false-positive or always find an error message. And even if they can, they’re not…

Yeah they got my damn click for that too...

I understand it’s common for actors to not have a license, but is it really something that would hold you back? If you want a car just get a license, it’s not that hard and you can always get an international license too to drive wherever you want.

Maybe he should do us all a favor and stick one more appendage in there, not on video of course.

This is one of those rare times where a company found the absolute perfect and overbuilt part, then realized it wasn’t economically feasibly scalable for future models, even their own supercars. So it’s a low-volume part with extremely specialized manufacturing, that lasts a long time on a car that usually isn’t…

Other than the wheels, I really like the look of this. The front end is very late 70s-early 80s so following what’s retro right now but IMO in a good way. The roof reminds me of some of their older concepts, we all know the cantilever-look roof is in right now but this is different enough to make it not look too…

Had the video gone on I bet good money he would say “aside from that the car’s great! I’d buy another one in a heartbeat!” like all moronic Tesla stans do after their CVS receipt-sized list of complaints.

I’d rock a 4C with a DCT, but I just gave up my manual BMW for a new Giulia and that’s the one thing I miss, hell if it was even only available on the QV I would have taken the financial risk on a heavily depreciated used one!

Wisconsin I completely get. On the highways there’s absolutely no lane discipline compared to neighboring states, it’s like go over the border from Minnesota and everyone immediately gets into the left lane to camp.

That’s the point, they’re always spelled wrong that way in craigslist/FB listings.

The XB and in small part XA were definitely bought more by old people, but you’re also forgetting about the TC which was a cheap Civic SI Coupe wannabe. Between that and the FRS which was most likely its main seller in later years would be enough to skew the results towards young speeders.

And yellow brake calipers!? What’s up with that?

I generally don’t like Lexus at all but the LFA has definitely grown on me and I’d argue the opposite, the car has aged well. I also wouldn’t compare it to an AMG GT-BS, that’s a track monster so not even close in experience. If you’re going to compare it to a Benz it’s more like an SLR. A bit off-the-wall styling…

This has absolutely nothing to do with the type of car you buy but what type of person buys certain car types.

Ha, I was the same way for a long time. My daughter is at a point where she randomly decides to dump her entire bag of cheerios into her seat, and she routinely takes off her shoes/socks in the car and puts her shoes back on without socks, so at least one of them gets buried somewhere. I’ve had to at least weekly take…
