I love everything about this–the sensible size, the utility, the simple physical controls, the expected durability and of course the condition. But it ain’t a collector car, and as a DD, sooner or later some kind of ’90s obsolescence would find a way to annoy or even endanger me. At a cheaper price of entry I could…

That thing is awesome. But not $17.5k awesome. 

Good thing they are getting rid of Android Auto and Apple Car paly, those things can be distracting to drivers. 

Honda of America getting ready to release the Prologue:

Jesus. Did Ridley Scott shag your dog and run over your mum or something?

I think about 70% of drivers don’t know what that little triangle next to the gas pump symbol on their dash is for.  Honestly, I didn’t until I was in my 20s. 

Slow pumps are so annoying. You stand there and wonder if you should just wait for it or stop pumping, get back into your car, drive to a different pump and start the whole transaction over again. And then of course there’s always the chance that all the pumps are just slow, and you changed pumps for no reason. 

The “monkeys and the monolith” thing at a pump is especially egregious at Costco. It’s a very simple process laid out clearly on the pump. Insert your membership card, then your payment, and Bob’s your uncle. And if you have a Costco credit card, you can just use that for both steps! It’s not complicated, and even…

I like how Costco now have those very long hoses so that people that have owned the same car for ten years and still don’t know which side the filler is on can still get gas.

“He’s a lawyer”

“No cover-up or anything like that.”

Lived in MS for a few years (originally from, and currently living in, Pennsylvania).

Obviously corruption and shitty things exists everywhere, but the Deep South is on a different level.

I’d happily launch Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama into the sun, given the chance.  And I’ll throw Florida in just for fun.  

I don’t understand why the FBI is not stepping in. It’s clear that the local government cannot be trusted to investigate themselves.

Hyundai already has their “Express” program where you can technically purchase straight off a dealer’s website.

The “funny” thing is, that in day mode those screens are SUPER bright. So, not only are they not illuminating the road in front of them, they’re also blinding themselves and destroying any modicum of night vision they may have. 

Bingo! This is the problem. It’s easy not to realize you’re driving wit the lights off when everything inside the car is illuminated like Toyko at night.

Not sure I agree with the Prius one -- my buddy and I did Boston to Quebec in his Prius Prime -- we were flying on the highway and all I know we did the entire roundtrip on half a tank of gas.

The Prius example should not be here. Why do you disrespect someone in a Prius doing 80 and not just ‘everyone doing 80'. Unless there is some magic where a Prius suddenly becomes less efficient than other cars at high speeds, this makes no sense. If anything, the Prius is the car to buy if you want to travel at high…

I still blame DRL drivers on the age of digital dashboards. Old days were if you left your lights off at night, your dash would be darker than AMC theatre.

But those 10 inches of screen light up just fine without headlights on.

“but FFXVI is all but impossible to read at times. If you think this text was small on a 50” TV, it’s inscrutable on an 8-inch screen.”
