I fail to see what the dig deal is. You are in a public place. You should expect your face to be recognized.  If you are that paranoid about having your face seen then wear a hijab.

It’s possible that the makers of this seat doesn’t know there is a government approval needed.  There used to be lots of aftermarket back seats made for the CJ Jeeps - I doubt any of them were certified by any government bodies.  Just as the makers of the aftermarket Jeep bumpers also never got their bumpers crash…

so replaced her Fisker with a Tesla Model Y

To be fair the Model Y is a depreciated EV

People seem to forget that there is a good side of the internet where people share knowledge and compare notes and learn how to fix up their cars from each other.  It’s not all shouty ‘influencers’ and bitcoin hawkers.

Recently there is this company out of China that stuffs new CATL cells into Nissan Leaf battery cases (google Robert Luo Leaf battery). They are able to create a 64kwh pack which gives you well over 200mile range. This is the approach that is needed going forward.

Usually specialist mechanics tend to be fairly honest and tend to really know the cars they specialize in.

We’re lucky they haven’t followed the Apple Iphone approach where you can’t even replace the whole battery.

I lean towards either a VW R32 or BMW 128i. The NA engines avoid a lot of the problems the turbo engines have - especially in used cars. The DSG transmission in the VW is exceptionally good. Might even be better than the manual.

Infiniti was the worst, with 8.7 percent of drivers ticketed.

More like a conscious bias against drivers who don’t look like them.

The bench seats are not certified as meeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

Not a headache I want to deal with while traveling for biz...

front fender is at least four inches higher than their rear fender

Nice catch!  That’s a lot better now!

I was admiring its looks..... until I got to the rear view. It has the most tragic case of the hatchback-without-an-opening-hatch which is a problem with all modern ‘sedans.  Here you see the ludicrously short ‘trunk’ that is more mail slot than trunk.

The Legacy died when they got rid of the turbo GT with the stick shift option.

It’s pretty crazy to think that he is too old to fall under the Boomer age bracket.

To be fair, backing up a trailer is very hard. Ford‘s trailer backup automation is a godsend.

As a bicycle commuter, I am terrified of this 30 day free FSD trial. I never signed up to be a beta testing crash test dummy.
