I’m thinking that you might need a refresher course in basic human anatomy, my friend.

Speaking for myself, I don’t criticize something unless I have a better idea for it or a way to fix it. I just don’t sit back and say “that’s stupid”, like that other poster did, and let it go at that. I guess that comes from working most of my adult life in the field of quality assurance and quality control.…

Well, again, if the wipers are disabled when the driver’s door is open, the issue won’t exist.

Yes, the car “turns on” when you use your key card to unlock it, or when the car senses you are near it because you have your phone (which it’s connected to) with you, or if you open the door. That way there is not fumbling for a key (Model 3 doesn’t even have a key). You just walk up to it, open the door, the car…

I can’t wait to see the car you designed and built and manufactured. Where can I look for it?

Seat belt sensing won’t do it. The issue is actually when you open the door to get in. Opening the door or using your key card to unlock it, “turns on” the car. Part of the process involves cycling the wipers if they are set to auto. What people are bitching about is that they are standing next to the car and opening…

No, not really. The issue only happens because when the wipers are set on “auto”. When the door is opened, the car turns itself on, and part of that process is to cycle the wipers if they are set to “auto”. The easy fix is to either tell the car not to cycle the wipers when it turns itself on, or to simply disable the…

I still saw where people had plenty of issues with Jettas (Jettas and Golfs are the same car), but most of the Jettas and 4dr Golfs bought in the US, even the TDIs, were built in Mexico. My particular Golf, which was a 2dr, was built in Brazil. That my have something to do with my car’s longevity.

Nice car. I always wanted to do a lift like that on my former ‘01 Golf GL (2dr) TDI. Not a lot, but just enough with a little bigger highway tires instead of the off road ones.

Yep. I bought a brand new 2001 Golf GL (the 2dr) TDI 5sp and just sold it to a friend this past Aug. with 445,000 miles on it, and I’ve never been so happy with a car in my life. It never broke on me. Any work I did I did was preventive (suspension rebuild, injectors and new injection pump at 350K miles). Everything…

Especially when the speed limit in CO is 75mph.

Agreed. Elon said this awhile back when Tesla increased the warranty on their batteries:

The ones I’ve rented have the information inside the cab and also on the front edge of the box itself, written in reverse so it’s visible and readable every time you look into the outside rearview mirror.

I saw a stalled car sitting on a 4 lane divided highway with a 60mph speed limit at night once. It was just sitting in the left lane with no lights on and no street lighting or anything. I called 911 to tell them about it. After I gave them the location they continued to pump me for information for the next 10 minutes…

I’ve posted a couple of other Panther examples too.

I don’t know if a late model Panther can be considered a muscle car, but it’s body on frame, a V8, and has chased many a muscle car. They are also dirt cheap, strong, reliable, and have room for the family.

All the jerry cans I’ve ever seen have been 5 gallons.

You mean this one? I took these pictures back in the mid 80's when my (ex) wife and I were out there. They actually had a pretty good William Daniels impersonator manning the interactive intercom (it wasn’t just a recording).

Some of us don’t have the luxury of having separate cars. One for in town driving, and another for that 300 mile trip to grandma’s house. It doesn’t have to be a full-on cross country trip, especially in my neck of the woods where you can drive 500 miles and still be in the same state. If you’re spending this much on…
