When you’re part of that ultra-wealth world, wives are replaceable - particularly when you inherit their billions and collect the life insurance.

What an actual fucking cult Tesla is. The damn car killed your wife, and you’re making apologies? Yikes.

To be fair, this article isn’t complaining. I don’t see where this article paints Tesla’s depreciation as an inherently bad thing. In fact, it concludes by stating “Naturally, this is good news for consumers since the top four EVs average under $25,000, which means a potential customer could also qualify for up to…

And the ND looks like Smudge the Cat

You’re not wrong. That said, the Phantom VII Coupé and Drophead Coupé looked even goofier:

The myopic-looking headlights on the original Aero 8, pictured here, are from the New Beetle. Later Aeros had more forward-facing headlights, and those were from the R56 MINI.

You got your figures a bit mixed up. The QX60 has the 3.5-liter; the Frontier has the 3.8-liter.

Longitudinally mounted and slung out way ahead of the front axle.

I owned a 2008 LS 600h L last year, briefly. It was the most underwhelming car I’ve ever owned, even after I spent $4,000 to replace the traction battery with a refurbished unit.

I had a V60 loaner with City Weave, once. It looks great in person.

That’s a shame, because it’s otherwise a very handsome and functional combination.

Same with my mom’s 2022 CX-5. Mazda really lags the competition on safety tech. I would have expected the CX-90 to have some sort of auto-steer functionality on the highway, but it doesn’t.

Perhaps. The L319 (LR3/LR4) and L320 (2006-2013 Range Rover Sport) were developed wholly under Ford, so there’s no BMW in them. Only the L322 (2003-2012 Range Rover) had BMW DNA, and even it received a new Ford/Volvo/Jaguar keyless-entry and alarm system after 2006. The alarm was present in all the Land Rovers, but…

That was the case with my 2010 Range Rover Supercharged. You had to fish out the keys to unlock the vehicle, but then push a button to start it. And there was no available keyless access, at least not in our market.

My 2018 Genesis G90—like many contemporary Hyundai and Kia products—does not remember your last audio source when using Bluetooth. If you’re on Bluetooth streaming and then shut the car off, the next time you start the car, it realizes the Bluetooth source is disconnected and then just defaults to the radio. So you…

Yes, some of the European automakers were embarrassingly late at implementing audible lock/unlock functionality on their cars. That said, sometimes the functionality is there, but turned off at the factory.

I’m sure that’s exactly what they were doing, and it’s sad that they were able to do so. Yikes.

Either way, I would say you could only realistically do this once. Once for a particular user or person looks like an anomaly. Several times for the same person is a very easily traceable pattern. And, like the Volkswagen Dieselgate scandal, the more you do it and the longer it takes for you to be caught, the worse…

Which is why I’ve never taken a government contract. I’m not cheap. All of my stupid car decisions aren’t going to pay for themselves (do not ask me what it’s cost to keep a V12 Jaguar running).

As a web developer, that’s just lazy programming on the part of whoever developed this. The handoff between the payment processor and the auction site should have been handled entirely in the backend, and not some client-side process or token that a user could manipulate.
