You need to purchase an annual subscription to open your car’s windows.

It has no crumple zones. It has no side impact rails. It has a steer by wire system with no mechanical backup, so if you lose power mid-corner you’re going to die. It cannot go through a car wash without ruining the body panels. It has a windshield wiper that breaks down constantly. It has a manual release for the…

You can’t reach into the bed from the side. The tailgate doesn’t close automatically. The windshield is absurdly flat and large so the big windshield wiper fails. The pedals fall off until you bolt them back on. The unpainted stainless is so hard to clean that half of buyers are wrapping the vehicle. The door handles…

Now it’s $2,999

Thank you, now I don’t have to type out the same comment. Pick a lane for your argument and stay in it, weather channel. 

I had to go back and see if I could find it, but it’s no longer listed. Recently I came across an RS with 60k-ish miles for over 30k, with a nitrous system. Somehow it was still listed as a Ford CPO car. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt a car with nitrous installed actually met the CPO guidelines, or that you…

Black is boring (IMO).  It generally looks fine, but it almost never looks interesting.

A new, manual Porsche 911 Carrera S, of course. Dark blue over tan. Nice wheels, upgraded Bose surround system and a sunroof, that’s it. Nothing too extreme, just a timeless car in a tidy spec. Every day I miss my old 991 and I’m finally getting an allocation next year for a 992.2 which is going to be a “lifer” for…

That’s a widespread myth, but exists neither in the California DMV Handbook nor in the actual law (even though even some police officers believe this myth). The only “3 second” rule that exists in the Handbook is the following distance.

You’re not killing anything at the speed you do a “california stop” through.  If you kill someone at a stop sign, it’s not because you rolled through it slowly. No, that’s called blowing through a stop. That’s completely different.

Actually I am speaking from experience with two stop signs within a mile of my house that get blown through all of the time.

And every morning when you wake up, you could stand on your head.

Stopping for two seconds is inefficient in time, energy, and morale when there is absolutely no one in sight.

100% agree banning large vehicles won't happen, but they could stop incentivizing them with the CAFE footprint rule and the tax breaks afforded any large truck or SUV purchased by a business, treated as a commercial vehicle and business expense when it is nothing more than a luxury commuter.

Cafe rules penalized the smaller vehicles much harsher than large ones. 

Poorly designed mandates allowed manufacturers to do this. 

kill federal and state (taxpayer funded) EV rebates, and they no longer make financial sense.

Exactly. I saw a similar post on Instagram and all the comments were people who’d had a Mini a decade ago going ape.

Take in new information.

Yeah I don’t get the distinction from the original author. The Explorer is an SUV on a Ranger frame, so an Explorer pickup is just a pickup on a pickup frame.
