That looks like an alien autopsy.

Out of curiosity, what means do you use to determine miles driven since the last fillup? I do, but few people I know do, reset the trip odometer at every fillup. I suspect even fewer note the odometer at every fillup.

I disagree. It only feels different because you get the thing you want now and pay for it later. You still pay for it. It is still spending. Conversely, layaway is also spending but the reverse of borrowing, you pay for something before you get it.

It seems odd that a self-driving truck would have a sleeper.

I think the Palisade is more size-equivalent to an Explorer (Aviator?) than the Navigator.

I think it’s weird that people don’t see “financing” as being the same as “spending”.

I get it, I’d prefer a dipstick in addition to the sensor, too. It’s probably in a risk equation somewhere, comparing the chance of sensor failure versus the potential cost, multiplied by the probability of an owner actually using the dipstick while not noticing an oil puddle under their car, etc.

Once upon a time, gas tanks had dipsticks. I suspect the process is similar.

Doesn’t the UAW own a substantial portion of GM, now?

It might be this:

I remember seeing that movie and asking myself if I just watched a 90 minute long Chrysler commercial.

Rods from God, maybe?

The very definition of an unhinged smile.

I would claim that this weird patriarchal approach to labor relations is a perversion and has no right to exist. I want a job, not another parent.

It’s the new car camouflage.

They went from 44mpg to 42mpg *reported*. It was a poorly kept secret that VW Diesels regularly saw better than 50mpg in the real world. Another irony from this is that, while their smog emissions were out of spec, their CO2 emissions were actually so much lower because of this. In all, if global warming is your main c…

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. People who want to escalate confrontation get burned.

First question, for some cars it would be a significant impact to resale. I have a 2007 Z4M Coupe. Not having a damaged front bumper cover will substantially improve it’s resale. It’s probably worth at least a few hundred dollars.

Second question makes me think you argue just to argue and speak (write) without thinking.…

I disagree. When a life is placed in your hands, you have no choice but to infallibly preserve that life. I don’t hold that father in contempt but neither to I support making it easier for others to become that dad. There is no effective technological solution to this problem.

I wonder if car companies consider what eliminating certain low-volume models does to their brand identity.
