Last time I went car shopping the Kia dealer just wrote some absurd number on a sheet of printer paper that (after a quick use of the calculator app and common sense) indicated they would be charging us about 27% APR not accounting for any fees and tacked on extras.

Every. Damn. Day.

LOL.

Mirror or camera people still won’t use them in the end.

Yep, the SLS has “explosive bolts” in the doors. I remember watching the crash test video of Mercedes testing that feature.

I’m just surprised no one thought if it sooner.

I did it on a 1999 XJ8 with a kit from Jaguar Specialties in CA. It’s been up and running for about 6 months and 1,500 miles.

I don’t know who made it, but I seem to remember certain European cars (BMW or Mercedes?) having pyrotechnic devices on the battery cables in the early 2000s too. They did a similar thing and cut the battery cables in an accident to prevent it from arcing and causing a fire.

Hold my beer:

I used to commute North and South on I-294 in Chicago, 41 miles each way, traveling with rush hour traffic each way.

“I can’t say I’ve ever imagined making a convertible out of my otherwise entirely nondescript sedan.”

This article sums up everything I’ve told my wife and everything she doesn’t understand.

Damn those pesky Youths and their inability to afford a $30,000 luxury item!

They’ve finally done it.

They should just make them marbled pink and purple, rainbow colored, or a weird shade of brown.

Make them all one touch AND make them all work the same way!

To make this a viable option they will need to make two lanes bus only lanes (assuming it is at least 4 lanes wide). They could have the center lanes be bus only lanes, and have bus stops on islands. Pick up and drop off the passengers there and go... if they need to then they can have the bus drive on the opposite…

I LS swapped a Jaguar XJ8 based on an episode of The Smoking Tire that I watched.

YOU MONSTER! 

Simple answer - buy five high mileage and cheap E39 M5s.
