“driverless race cars”

Questions arose about unavoidable accidents, moral choices about where to steer if collision with an object is unavoidable and the like. If vehicles will be driving as humans, how can their programming act and make decisions as a human would in driving situations? When encountering problematic situations on the road,…

Actually, the question should be whether anyone would recommend it over TWO (2) Volts, because the i3 costs roughly 2x as much as a Volt.

If you were commuting 90 miles a day in heavy traffic

Why does everyone fawn all over a $50k electric BMW that looks retarded and only goes 200 miles between fillups, yet shit all over a $65k electric Cadillac that looks hot, has 10 times the luxury and goes 340 miles between fillups?

There’s also a Volkswagen hidden in every Bentley ;)

I was under the impression that VW was not providing loaners to concerned people who don’t want to drive their TDI now, not necessarily that they won’t provide loaners while the car is actually being worked on after the fix is developed.

I-Integra... Is that you?

So why are the few remaining full service stations more expensive than their self service neighbors?

What I’ve heard, which probably is as reliable as anything else you’ve heard, is that the Mom and Pop stations have a VERY powerful lobby in Trenton, and they fear self-serve would kill them. The reasoning is, with self-serve you can staff a big station the same as a small one, but you’re obviously raking in a ton…

Getting gas in NJ: In 1995, I drove up to Englishtown Raceway Park in my ‘68 Fury for the Mopar Atlantic Nationals (premium was well under $2/gal then, so, sure, drive 350 miles round-trip at 16 mpg). On the way back, I stopped for gas, and discovered the no-self-serve thing. And I had to show the guy where the filler…

that’s when you press the “assistance” button and when the flight attendant comes by, you simply look over your shoulder repeatedly. if this does not work, repeat step 1.

I was gonna say, “and maybe a blow job, too”, but felt it set the wrong tone.

Seriously.
I like not having to get out of the car in the heat/cold/rain/snow/monsoon/Godzilla attack/hurricane/nor’easter/etc.
It is civilized and gives you a chance to collect your thoughts, rest, check your e-mail, etc.

I loathe going to other states where I have to get out of the car and pump gas like I was in…

Yes, having to have an attendant to pump your gas is annoying....

Not a minivan. Rear window too steeply raked for this:

Noooo....stop saying things that make the ol’ USA sound like a bunch of fucking hypocrites!

Volkswagen Classics department (VW corporate’s heritage collection) doesn’t include any cars prior to 1950 and they really, really don’t like talking about that era.

There’s a reason they were all over the place back then but seem to have completely disappeared.
