One of the best ways to prevent deaths from accidents is to prevent the accident in the first place. This is solved with education. Make it MUCH more difficult to obtain a driver license, or make it a tiered system (as to not negatively affect the lower income brackets) where a beginner permit allows you to use

No hatchback. No manual. No thanks. 

That ain’t quattro, that’s Haldex

Do you remember when German cars were restrained and you could barely tell apart the fast versions from the base ones?

I prefer my driving *unfiltered* 

Correct headline: idling in traffic with your windows down in developing countries with minimal pollution controls increases your exposure to pollution (which may or may not be a meaningful increase that has health outcomes because we didn’t test that).

I think we worry too much about the age of a certain platform. If it works and incremental updates are done to various components, I don’t see a problem with it. It seems to be working for FCA with the Challenger and the updated-every-decade-or-so-Wrangler.

Sounds like Jim couldn’t hack it as CEO

WHAT IS THIS?!?! A PICKUP TRUCK FOR ANTS?!?

So much misinformation to unpack here. Pulling out my soapbox...

Oh my this is the content I crave. We moved out of our HOA 2 months ago and dammit I can't wait to paint my front door teal. Take that assholes!

Thats a nice roster.

I like your style.

You are my hero! But one of those things is most unlike the others, LOL.

Agreed. I had a 1988 Peugeot 205 GTI with 300k, which looked and drove like it could take a lot more. My current 2000 Peugeot 406 coupe has 375k, which is barely broken in for its (base) gasoline engine as I’ve seen multiple with double those kms. And rust? Nothing, despite the salted roads in winter. Costs for

Cars continue to have more and more horsepower. More horsepower means worse fuel economy and more danger. To counter, we now need two dozen airbags, a dozen computers that help us brake, steer, navigate and observe neighboring vehicles, etc., etc.. The price of vehicles is skyrocketing due to our “need” for 300+hp and

If 1 in 4 cars are old enough to drive themselves then why aren’t there more autonomous cars?

It’s not always economic driven, but mostly is, you’re right.
