That’s kind of back. Some newer GM cars, for instance, have a “Buckle to Drive” safety interlock, wherein they will not shift into gear unless the driver’s seat is buckled. For now, it’s an opt-in feature (exclusively through Teen Driver on some models and as a standalone on others)...but it’s only a matter of time…

That’s fair, but an unbuckled passenger is a hazard for everyone in the car, not just the person who chooses not to buckle up. I’m the last person to shout “Think of the children!” but...the would-be victims of this negligence do include children, who cannot reliably advocate for themselves around irresponsible…

The biggest lie about Saturn is that it was a good idea in the first place.

Only $10,000? I’d pay that in a heartbeat. I’ve paid more for less, trying to nurse these old out-of-warranty Euro flagships back to health. I now have a 2004 Phaeton (and not even the W12 model) that needs a lot of love.

Thank goodness it didn’t get the same rear lamp treatment as the hardtop.

It’s like PYREX vs pyrex.

Not exactly. For one thing, the C7 Corvette and 991 and 992 911s have had 7-speed manuals for years.

Right. By fleeing the scene, he prevented his employer and/or law enforcement from determining if he was, say, under the influence of something.

That’s fair.

Basically someone who is like another mom in your life, but who isn’t related by blood.

Chances are it goes for over $10K.

The vast majority of these were.

My bonus mom has a 2006 STS-V, in almost the same color combo. Hers is silver with a grey interior. She’s had it since she purchased it CPO in 2010.

That’s pretty much what the Ineos Grenadier is.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. The Golf’s floor pan is already adapted for AWD with the R (which I just purchased a brand-new example of), so all the body components are there. A modern Golf Country would probably end up being a detuned, lifted and somewhat rugged-ified version of the Golf R.

My partner has a 1994 Isuzu Amigo of this generation, with a 5-speed.

That Trooper was rebadged more times than I can count, sold under Honda, various GM brands, Subaru, and even a Chinese co-op.

It was. The Viper was definitely a parts-bin special.

What is with all these photos of Elon jumping up and down in a too-short T-shirt. I am tired of seeing that repulsive man’s midriff all over the Internet.

My 2008 LS 600h L was cited as having a CVT. From what I can tell, it was entirely the ordinary longitude 8-speed used in the regular LS, just with a motor-generator and planetary gearset in place of the torque converter, that technically allowed for infinite ratios.
