Drive-Thrus have been banned in San Luis Obispo since 1982, so this is definitely not a first for an American city. Still nice, though.

I dunno, I think it looks pretty alright in black.

Samurai is the correct answer. Equinox is boring. Come on, Tom!

Wow, I also put Corvette wheels on my mystic teal 98 firebird! Small world.

So that leaves me thinking, for whatever reason, that this dip into the layer of batteries could have some strange safety implications. I’m imagining a handgun going off in the footwell and easily piercing many layers of batteries and causing a very quick fire/explosion. Obviously that’s just about a worst case…

I agree, but another exception has to be made for tan tops: green cars. That is all.

Your neighbor orders a package, and a drone stops by for like 10 seconds, probably not even as loud as a lawnmower or power tool, then it's gone. It’s really not going to be that big of a deal, the way I look at it.

Judging by the name, I'm guessing it's an Australia-only model.

My first car was a DIFFERENT 98 firebird with T-tops, and thankfully mine never leaked when it rained, but at highway speeds you could hear air leaking out of them. Kind of annoying, but I still really miss the T-tops.

I’ve had the firebird for over 2 years now. The 3800 v6 is extremely reliable (and has some fun torque), the only issues I’ve had have stemmed from the previous owner letting it sit for a really long time, and the dex-cool ate away at some rubber gaskets. After replacing a bunch of gaskets though, it’s run strong for…

I have a 98 Firebird and had a 2002 Camaro, and the visibility is way better than in most modern cars despite the rake. Really, the rake only cuts into how high your field of vision is, and that’s not very important on the road. The horizontal and rear visibility is great compared to 5th gen+ Camaros.

Honestly, I don’t mind. My main gripe with touchscreens is that you usually have to look away from the road or your gauge cluster to do anything useful (since you can’t navigate the controls by feel), but if it’s that big, they might as well put useful buttons right up by the steering wheel. However, if there’s…

I did that move once by accident at 70mph driving through Iowa in the rain last summer

He’s the man whose name you’d love to touch... but you mustn’t touch!

You’re right. Also, I should have specified that I was referring to Bing in particular, not to Microsoft’s entire product line, when I called them “awful at keeping up with competitors”.

Yes, they need to stop reporting on it, starting the day before its official reveal.

I think you can’t assess my business knowledge by what I said. Microsoft really is awful at keeping up with competitors, whether it’s because they refuse to put resources into it (which is obviously the case) doesn’t change that. I don’t expect them to put resources into it, but not doing so is clearly hurting them…

I thought it was an open secret by now that search results banned by google are typically easily found on bing. Try finding a place to watch a show or movie online for free. Way more results with bing. Microsoft is just awful at keeping up with competitors. Hopefully they’ll respond to this with more effort and sense…

Don’t worry, this happened in AUSTRALIA.

They say violet wind is a precursor to purple rain!
