Fruck?

Here’s hoping!

I’m just quoting what she said. Whether it’s true is anyone’s guess.

My point is, if they’re putting ads on the screen, it means they’re expecting - nay, encouraging - the driver to look down at it. They’re creating a situation where, if the driver is actually doing a good job of driving, they won’t even see the ad. So why put it there at all unless you actually want people to be

Not enough, apparently.

She tried to stop it, but the brakes did not engage.

Billboards don’t make noise, and they’re not inside the car. If you’re looking at your infotainment, you’re looking away from the road.

Shouldn’t it be illegal to show ads to someone who’s driving? It sounds like a deliberate attempt to distract the driver, which is dangerous as hell.

I really hope it isn’t. That BMW is one ugly bugger. Of course, knowing the current state of the auto industry, people would buy them like hot cakes.

I don’t think they’d even have to get rid of the back seat. There’s enough room under that hood for a hell of a lot of batteries, and they can put more where the fuel tank would be.

This. If they want to make an electric Mustang, make a damn electric Mustang. Don’t goof around with crossovers and “inspired” styling - that’s a surefire way to turn enthusiasts against you.

The Kona calls itself a crossover, but it’s really just a small hatchback. It’s the same width and height as a Nissan Leaf, and shorter end-to-end, and I don’t see anyone calling the Leaf a crossover.

Not really an accident, but when I was learning to drive, I was turning my dad’s Dodge Dakota around in the driveway and the right front fender made contact with a tree stump. There was a fairly substantial dent, maybe a foot in diameter, and the paint was wrecked.

“Do you know what you’ve done? You’ve gone and killed me again!”

I wonder if they’re going to ruin their stereos too? A surprising number of country songs mention Yeti coolers, for some reason.

I’ve always loved the look of the New Edge SN95, but I’m kinda meh on the Mach 1. That big hood bulge just upsets the proportions of the whole thing.

I can’t wait to see the next headline. “Burning Sports Gear Now #1 Source of Global Air Pollution”.

I’d be more concerned about the TGPD Eaty Thing of Devestation.

How about you touch your car, put a Coke on the roof of your car, ride around in your car with shoes on, and drive your car through rain, dust bugs (whatever “dust bugs” are) and mud?

So much this. If the car’s not yours, you don’t get to decide who touches it. This is a really simple concept, and I was under the impression that grown adults would understand it. Evidently I was wrong.
