That ties in with one of the inherent problems: ransomware (and to some extent hacking) require much much more effort on defense than on offense.

This post paints a really bad picture without full understanding of how IT infrastructure works. When the good folks down in IT see an activity spike and files start becoming encrypted, they shut everything off in order to isolate the threat. It’s kind of like closing fire doors. Unfortunately this sometimes means…

Sitting at 351k my 92 cb7 is still a champ, Honda cancer be damned. Used to rally cross it before the pandemic and might get back into it.

This:

Costa Rica and Ford never sold them here and nobody bothered to import one either. I’ve been to the US several times but I don’t recall seeing a Vic in the flesh. Surely I wasn’t paying a ton of attention as I presume there are still lots of them driving around.

Yellow Ford Couriers/Mazda B2000s were pretty common. I never saw one where the cab matched the bed.

Lead picture. That was my truck LOL...The 4x4 was kinda rare compared to the 2 wheel drives. Blew the engine and replaced it with a gray market version in the parking lot of my apartments over the weekend

But now you can get all of the murky ethics of Uber and the empty promises of another photocopy EV startup!

I don’t trust any company outright. That’s a given. But if there is a company out there that I auto-respond with a “oh, hell no” to any announcement they make, it’s Uber.

That is my impression as well. That they are “speeding the report” on this investigation indicates that Biden (who is a car guy) might be getting tired of hearing about Autopilot related crashes that could be preventable.

Always amazing how quickly Tesla jumps in to announce that Autopilot was NOT engaged in the latest crash where the drivers seat is empty/a movie was being watched/a video game was being played/a giant neon sign that says AUTOPILOT *IS* ENGAGED, SHEEPLE is on the roof

Could mean much stricter regulations on autonomous cars and liabilities for the company that people keep proving they can make the car drive by itself. 

Maybe you could get a junkyard 4.0 to bolt up to drive it home?

But grifting is as American as it comes..!

Seriously, anybody that looks into the history of the US (the last two centuries at least) will have to conclude that, yes, grifting is the national sport.

The styling screams Rampage. It’s like the company designed this for the folks who really, really wanted a late-80s American front-driver ute but missed the boat and decided this would do.

It’s not just one vehicle, but it’s a class of vehicles.  I’m talking about lifted JEEPS and pickup trucks.  Simply no need at all.  

What vehicle have they ever made that needed a V8?

Kudos to Honda for 1) being realistic and 2) having produced reliable, fuel efficient cars for decades. They don’t have lost ground to make up. The Accord Hybrid and CRV Hybrid are fantastic vehicles. The Insights have also been very good cars, along with the too cool for school CR-Z. Even their big people haulers…

I read through Torch’s million word post about why y’all keep posting about crashing Tesla’s, which really didn’t even say anything. And this is even less

Where did you get 4 mpg difference between this and the seltos?
