It’s almost like Toyota and Subaru are trying to do upsetting things. There was nothing wrong with the styling! (Well, on the FR-S anyway... that exposed black plastic bumper cover on the BRZ has always looked positively miserable, to my eyes). It’s like they set out to actively downgrade the styling with every choice…

I’m just glad they finally got rid of that miserable filler-panel grille that underscored each headlight. From 2014-Present, Grand Cherokees have this atrocious-looking grille that serves to fill the void left by their silly headlight redesign. It creates a ‘smile’ shape with the bumper. In some particularly egregious…

This is literally my opinion of *any* four-door, or extended cab truck in existence. It is unnatural, and wrong, and I am against it.

You are the problem. AdmiralAkbar, and others with similar responses to you are completely right. And no, this is not up for debate. It’s a god damned law.

I still despise any 4-door Wrangler, but the low-cut doors is an enormous improvement, and should be mandatory on all examples. I don’t care about practicality concerns, or a potential lack of windows and/or weather seal; having to look at the normal doors is cruel and unusual punishment.

Well, it is okay that you feel the way you do, too. It was not just over a license plate though. She was driving an unregistered vehicle, with no insurance, and no license. She could have been involved in an accident, before the cops spotted her. What if, in that accident, she totaled a vehicle, damaged some public…

Let’s be real here; this has nothing to do with today’s world. If this bitch had a real, legitimate, legal license plate behind her fake one, and an endearing story about how her young child was drawing earlier today, and she simply forgot to remove his artwork before driving, then I sincerely doubt that she would…

Well,when you have Google translate the Sherp’s product page, it lists a “safety arc” as one of the standard features included on the vehicle. Now, this is purely an assumption, but looking at it as an engineer, I would like to imagine that the component dividing the passenger/operator compartment from the bed/cargo…

Yeah, I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that perfectly-aligned, parallel, head-on collisions between two vehicles almost never happen in the real-world, and therefore an incredibly expensive, controlled, test simulating that scenario would be of little to no use to anyone.

The Ram Laramie and Chevy Silverado Reaper feel differently.

This is exactly what I say to every ‘Murican who tries to argue that they need a truck, when they really only want it because the ride height makes them feel safer, and the image makes them feel like they have a bigger penis. 95% of the people I know that own a truck claim to have it because they “use it” when in…

This used to upset me as well; but then I learned of the origin and meaning of the words coupe and sedan, and now I’m not mad anymore.

Hmm... Can anyone more familiar with the history of these incredible machines please explain to me why there appears to be a three-pointed star on the back of this car, and no blue-and-white roundel? I am really curious as to why on Earth this was done.

You only focused on one small part of what the author said, and chose to attack that. The author mentions today’s “increasingly aerodynamic, regulated, and standardized cars.” - he does not claim today’s cars are only increasingly aerodynamic; he points out (correctly, by the way) that they are increasingly…

Thank you for the well-thought-out, and dignified response. I completely agree with you; Mazda absolutely should have made it retractable or removable. As a product design engineer, I definitely understand and appreciate the balance of cost, so I know that is why Mazda went with the fixed screen; but dammit, some…

There is no arguing that fewer guns would result in less gun-related violence. As someone who is against anti-firearm laws, despite not owning any firearms myself, I feel obligated to inform you that I certainly wouldn’t disagree with that sentiment. The problem, though, is that guns can be made. Like really, really,…

Couldn’t have put it better myself.

Really? That is a terrible example of stupidity at its best. Your perceived flaw with this feature actually highlights exactly why it is not a stupid design. It serves the unforeseen purpose of preventing stupid passengers from stupidly attempting to sit in an orientation in which none of the vehicle’s safety…

Ok, that’s it. Too many times, I have seen this sentiment repeated by hundreds and hundreds of commenters, all saying the exact same thing - I’m sorry in advance for selecting you as the recipient of this rant, but your post was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Yepp, that sounds about right. Honestly, I love the area, the food, the people, the community, and even the weather (most of the time), but there is not a day that goes by where the car enthusiast in me asks what in the world the rest of me is doing living in this unearthed Salt mine. It’s positively barren of any…
