Because at minimum there is 30 square feet of blind spot 10 feet behind the mirrors and a trailer hitch capable of $1,000's of dollars of damage to innocent grills and bumpers.

I've racked up 203,000 miles on my F-150 with back up sensors. I use and rely on them daily. And I'm grateful that other cars have them when parking in front of my stuff, especially the '69 Mustang. After remote mirror controls and door locks, the back up sensors top my list of great automotive ideas.

I'll never understand why Jaguar abandoned one of the most iconic, beautiful and brand-defining designs in automobile history. From it's origins in the mid/late sixties it was gently tweaked and massaged, (with some odd miscues here and there) but it always said Jaguar with identifiable beauty, class and elegance.…

BEWARE! Guard Dog On Duty!

Except in a Saab. Nope. Gotta be different. Gotta be quirky. One ought to know where their gas cap is if you're going to drive a Saab, or even borrow a Saab. ('01 95 Wagons, anyway.)

But are the $3,000 replacement parts up-graded and better pieces, or are they just new fault-prone parts put in to extend the life of one's anxiety derived acid-reflux?

That's nuts! And it's as straight and level after the jump as before. This video makes the failure of those suspension components on the nexus of this thread all the more ridiculous.

Now I know. And yes, they have built the most amazing stuff. But both front and rear right side components fail on a pedestrian, low-angle "jump"? Had to be a show-only truck.

I just spit beer all over my computer. Who ever the hell built that shit wagon ought to close their shop.
