The STS has a traditional gear lever. The failed part is a sensor to tell the car and its electronics that its in park.

It hasn’t stopped raining for years, I’m afraid. 

The ELR wasnt a bad car, it was just priced insanely too high and the Volt never sold in huge numbers, so I doubt they expected a 2 door, double price version to sell alll that well, but probably had higher hopes than it achieved

They still offer it on the Escalade, but not sure about anything else. I don’t think its still in the heads up display, just the driver gauge screen but it now recognizes animals and pedestrians and highlights them and I think can give an audible warning. 

For this car specifically, for me, Ferrari just missed the mark with the looks and the sound. I have full faith that Ferrari can make a good sounding turbo hybrid and still meet emission targets. Not every ICE needs to sounds like an A10 warthog’s cannon firing from green light to red light, but i think Ferrari can do…

Yeah, not really all that sad to me that rich people toys have to follow the same rules as mainstream cars.

Given the price, this seems like another way of saying different rules for the billionaires and the average person.

I have had a couple good buying experiences at a group 1 chevy dealer and a used car shop that focused on higher end ‘eurpoean’ cars (i bought a chevy and probably the cheapest car they had). My last purchase was from an Autonation store and it was...not great at all.

They apparently just pulled employee’s cars out of that parking lot to use in the video...unless this was a factory fresh Caliber with a scratched glove box
 

Thats because in the other cases, they are dealer installed options. So GM ships all the parts in the cab of the truck, then the dealer, a 3rd party, installs it.  This isnt an option for Tesla service centers since they are owned by tesla.

General Motors does not install the lights on the Colorado, the dealer does. Since the Tesla service centers are the manufacturer, they cannot do it.

They don’t call it the natural state for nothing!

Fair enough. Very little reason to have AWD in Houston so I accidently overlooked that fact.

Around the same age and if i needed a van, I would not get the VW or this GMC. A quick search on autotrader has plenty of used minivans with 15,000-60,000 thousand miles, so sure, I’d take a look at this guy because I like the color, but nearly all of the options are better than this GMC.

I didn’t get around to the morning shift until afternoon, but noticed that also. Per the drive, “an 18-acre section dedicated to vehicle dynamics.” so it seems like this morning shift mention just picked up on that. The Drive article is pretty good and goes into the history that you mentioned.

The video from the security camera shows the top obstruction light working, but they hit much lower than that and it doesnt the lower lights were operational.

Texas state wide vehicle sales tax is 6.25%.

Yep, when I had my Volt the ICE would usually only run about once a month for engine maintenance unless I went out of town or to the suburbs.

That would make much more sense.

Honestly, this is the only comment this article needed.
