But this is why they had it so easy for years. Taxis are the absolute worst customer experience. So it took us all half a decade to realize that maaaaayyybe we should regulate the industry that saved us from having to shout our addresses 15 times because the dispatcher is asleep.

Can confirm. The electric version is genuinely fun to drive like a Taxi. Having a single speed and torque from 0 rpm solves 90% of the problems with the car.

I still do! I’m a freelancer, so I have about 10 active work email accounts at any one time from various hosts. I need a solution for housing all of them, for saving emails and backups. Mail.app works pretty well, actually.

Because, Virginia. Errrrrybody and their grandma has a vanity plate.

Chevy has about the worst ads in the industry, and that’s saying something. It’s a good thing their sales plan is 100% selling only to people who are already going go buy a Chevy.

1989 Toyota MR2 Supercharged is the right answer.

This. People want Teslas because they finally realized that EVs need not be purely utilitarian transportation appliances.

Glad you atgatt. Because most of the time the Doppler Effect means the people who can hear you are behind you. I’ll grant you that in slow traffic, the asshole in the Audi SUV on the phone might be better able to appreciate your presence.

So, they’re going to make a Mitsubishi “Model A” using a Ford Model T? Is that right?

This is also a very correct answer.

Right response. Specifically an 87-91. Or a CJ7. That sweet, sweet angled roll bar support.

Not particularly egregious, but it happened last week.

Welcome back, Doug. We miss being able to read your stuff without all that pesky typing of “w, w, w, dot, opposite...” - you get the idea.

Not buying. Need to feel it.

This is the best thing on Jalopnik for months. #projectslowdevil has been a constant source of joy. I’m sad it’s over. Do more of these stupid amazing things.

Amen. UX researcher here. This is 100% correct.

Me too. Why not spend $45 to make yourself chuckle when you walk out to your car?

This series was peak Jalopnik. We can all go home now. I, for one, am sad it’s over.

I also kinda love it. But only at about 10% of the price. CP all day.

I actually applaud the change in meaning of “limited.” I always thought it was among the stupidest trim level descriptions.
