Plus, if the point of getting into the car is to rescue your baby, you’re probably not trying to get glass all over the backseat.

Because fully-electric vehicles are quite expensive and put additional burden on USPS for making sure they’re charged adequately. Those are the reasons the entire fleet isn’t electric.

Why aren’t these gas-electric hybrids? They’re leveraging Ford running gear; surely they had access to the same hybrid system in use on the current Escape Hybrid.

I agree. I like Lincoln’s new implementation on the Nautilus and refreshed-for-2025 Navigator, wherein you have a big band of a screen that’s toward the bottom of the windshield, right in your line-of-sight.

This needs to be a full NHTSA investigation. I am 99.9 percent certain that his wasn’t the only truck so afflicted, which means other people are driving trucks with a similar defect.

I understand risk and opportunity cost just fine, and how it has to be reasonably enticing for a bank to loan money to deep-subprime customers.

Yeah, I’d rather have my car repossessed than get my kneecaps busted.

Hmm, I don’t know about this one. The sad thing is that the alternative to deep-subprime lenders like Exeter or Santander, or BHPHs, is the person being unable to get transportation at all when they desperately need it. They’ll simply be unable to secure any loan or any transportation at all. And that’s exactly what

I actually do like EVs, but if I could buy just one car, it wouldn’t be an EV.

For the most part, an Equinox EV or Blazer EV does provide a nice experience. They’re simple to use. They have plenty of power. They’re comfy.

But they’re still EVs.

Yes, I’m sure GM will be profoundly successful—in just 10 short years—in transitioning everyone from gasoline cars that are very popular to EVs that no one wants and that are rotting on lots. Never mind that their money-makers are all large gasoline trucks and SUVs for sheer profit-per-unit and smaller gasoline crossov

Hopefully he gets convicted by Halloween.

That seems about right for a mid-aughts luxury performance car, 18 MPG. It’s better than my Bonus Mom’s 2006 Cadillac STS-V, which achieves 14 MPG on a good day. That’s why she has a 2018 Lexus RX 450h as a daily.

This definitely seems dubious. Crucially, I wonder what the opportunity for arbitrage is. If solar companies are having to pay inordinate amounts to compete for a dose of sunlight on their panels, how will they make money selling that energy? And this is still as susceptible as normal sunlight to things like cloud

And which could also be had with a 6MT, at least through 2018. A friend of mine taught me to drive stick on his HR-V so equipped.

At least you’re not like my partner, who--at a robust 6'5"--convinced himself that what he really needed was a Smart Fortwo...and would have purchased it, had the price been right.

Eh, perhaps. But, who knows, this person may be insured to the point where that would be a favorable outcome.

My heart aches.

My understanding was that the current-gen F-150 offered massage seats on models with the multi-contour seat units (King Ranch, Platinum, Limited) through MY2021. At some point in 2022, citing a parts shortage, that functionality was cut. So was a lot of the adjustability on the multi-contour seats. I’m not sure
