the issue with ck isn’t whether or not he apologized, the issue is: doing it in the first place.

“No one wants to work anymore!”

That they do. It’ll say “Manual” and then be the SMG. I’ve also noticed that phenomenon with the subsequent E9x 3 Series, which had the 7-speed DCT.

See, this one is less about the tranny and more about how you drive it. I have a very good buddy of mine running a 2003 M3 SMG daily + track duty. Never had an issue with the SMG, but he services it. He’s anal about maintenance on that car. It wins races, after all!
But according to him, driving it in full manual mode…

I’m extremely ACAB, but if police body cam footage shows this guy had unholstered a gun, I have to wonder what he expected was going to happen.

Sounds like you’re someone who understands that with every right comes the responsibility to exercise it at appropriate times in appropriate places.  Thank you.

I wish all gun owners had the same attitude as you. 

They are not as slow as you think they are. The problem is every reviiew focuses on 0-60 times which really are irrelevant in any driving scenario that most drivers will ever encounter. My Prius Prime is fairly quick and more than adequate from 0-30 mph, also quite responsive from 40-65 mph which are more realistic…

There’s no convincing me that this isn’t the #1 answer. For both reasons.

Lets make sure to cover the rest of the story from the trib

but were they great cars with bad transmissions?  or bad cars with bad transmissions.

Any CVT Subaru.

E46 with the SMG. Not only was it horrifically unreliable and terrible to drive, it also made finding an actual 3 pedal E46 difficult, since every website and used car lot listed it as “manual”.

Take it out of Police Pension funds. “Sorry, Officer Figpucker, but that guy you covered for a dozen times finally getting caught means no pension payout this year”, that’ll bring down that blue wall faster than you can say “Police Collusion”. ‘Cause that is the real problem, it isn’t just that individual “bad” cops…

Someone (wish I could remember who) wrote about an idea for making police carry malpractice insurance like doctors that would pay out if they are sued for on the job misconduct. If the officer has a bad record and the premiums become too high, time to find a new job.

It’s time we make cops write checks from their personal accounts.

Yay continental drift.

Replace the Tahoe with newer Tahoe or Yukon.  

Ah. Its not that bad. I did it when I had my 2012 Suburban.

??? Do they have a maximum speed of 50mph or something? What does this even mean? If it’s acceleration, the Prius Prime does 0-60 in 6.6 seconds on battery. Compare that to the average CUV most people drive at about 9 seconds, and there doesn’t seem to be any problem here.
