Sorry I was speaking in terms of the new displays in this article. The picture you posted is both awesome and batshit. I have no idea what’s going on there

I hope there is all sorts of telemetry available if you drill down into some menus but all these measurands should not be present all the time so as not to be distracting

Do you remember when Firefox has mouse gestures? This feels the same, novelty wears off the first day and you never use them again. Honestly, with all the options and possibilities of gestures or even digital screens, when I’m driving and should be focusing on the road, controls with tactile feedback are the best way…

Struggle is real, I do that too

An Italian with one arm longer than the other is a speech impediment, an Italian with no arms is practically a mute.

I like the Juke but I share a similar sentiment about other cars. Problem is, they build what people buy. Ultimately I think my dislike for certain cars is not with the cars themselves but the fact that their popularity is detracting from the development of cars that I would want to see made.

My social studies teacher called it back in 2001. To paraphrase he said it may not seem like you need it now but when the time comes and hybrids are more common place, you’re going to turn to the brand that’s been doing it for a decade.

Considering our love of big cars I fully expect this is where it is going. Also with bigger cars the packaging restrictions aren’t as difficult

Gas won’t be cheap for ever. It will go up again. Companies are looking to the future and developing their technology while their sales are doing really well and they can afford it. What more can you hope for?

Oops, I replied to the wrong comment, this was meant for the guy trying to reason out the non intuitive layout.

Well your logic would explain why we don’t have goat suicide animals

Commercial GPS receivers are probably for that reason designed to shut off if traveling too fast or too high an altitude. GPS autopilots are ITAR controlled, pretty much only military and universities are allowed to have them. They are also not that simple to play with. Now if you’re talking a backyard built RC plane…

A turbine driven propeller engine.

Yes, though it’s a turbine engine, don’t think of it as a jet. The point here is not to push a lot of air quickly out the back of the turbine, the point is to spin the prop which will push the air for you.

Unimog would be sweet and I fully support the decision. Dakar truck is just bigger and more obnoxious.

As long as it comes with one of these I’m game

Best idea I heard all year. DeMuro should buy a Kamaz

I’d like to see that return. I think with the right vision it can be done. Looking at you Mr Musk, this is way better than the hyperloop

If only you could condense this into a meme for my dad to post on facebook. Alas, the real world takes more than a two line anecdote to describe

I know the feeling. When I bought my WRX, had to do it on blind faith. Never even got to sit in one because all dealers were sold out. Was not disappointed.
