I got screamed at by a cop for having a boat bow light on the front of my Subaru wagon because red is reserved for emergency vehicles when facing forward and the left side of the light was red (the green half was fine). This Camaro definitely wouldn’t go over well.

Yeah, my first thought with this was a memory of doing cell site work on a roof top that ran over by a day. A red tail hawk showed up to hang out on the roof a few times while hunting pigeons and we got some pics of it. The PM had us send him the pics, which he forwarded to accompany his excuse for our overage being…

Mine did not have that feature. I ended up replacing it with a Ninja Foodi, which is more useful to me.

As someone who had until just a few years ago wanted to build cars of their own design but couldn’t afford to, I don’t have an issue with someone who can. Would it be better for him to be an over-consuming parasite with no purpose beyond shallow impulse fulfillment? If it took inherited money or a lottery win, it’s…

That’s where I’m at and, as someone who goes on sorties instead of drives, I pay attention, so I just want them to be cancelable. It’s a big reason I’m a vehement hater of DSC systems—their unpredictability and inherent limitations makes them more of a danger to all but the most incompetent drivers or maybe those .1% i…

That’s what I used on bicycles as a kid. Much better than the modern patches and they’re ready to roll right away. I believe it had an illustration of a car inner tube on the cardboard cylinder it came in, so I’d say it was old.

Wow. If she’d been through some of the things I’ve been through on the roads that I don’t even think about afterwards, she’d clench so tight, she’d think the Wu Tang Clan sewed her asshole closed. And you don’t go to pass a truck while approaching a highway split in the first place, but I guess blame the AI for that?

Yup, everyone made fun of them—including me—but I knew they were a harbinger of our future automotive borescape.

It’s the only outlet for people who have to listen to the straight-pipe Harley scumbags that doesn’t result in a likely lengthy jail sentence—much less satisfying, but far more sensible.

I love those! The 55-56 is int he top of my favorite Cadillac body styles.

If they’re found at negligent fault for backups, they should be fined on a scale that accounts for the length and miles of the delay and their net worth.

Similar, but a half-decade earlier and through a marsh with nowhere for pedestrians to be or cars to pull out, and guardrails on both sides. We’d have runners in front check ahead and two cars following the racers, no passengers that weren’t also racers (kept away the dude bros trying to impress their vapid…

I had to explain this a couple times the other day to people who didn’t understand how those DSC systems are dangerously unpredictable for anyone with what should be the minimum driving skill. It was almost as if attaining a decent competency is looked down upon over ignorant resignation to blind system overlords of…

I love tactile mechanical things, but this seems an odd choice to me for most annoying with all the extraneous nags, UI disasters, and short-lived fun-lacking transmissions, yet, it’s on here several times so I guess I’m misjudging its potential for annoyance.

Definitely good ones.

That’s a tough one, but I guess I’ll go with electric steering and the accompanying lack of feel, though to be fair, good steering feel was never terribly common.

I’m not much of a Porsche guy and I can’t think of any other modern car I’d more like to own. Of course, I would never pay that much for a car, but there are a lot of much cheaper vehicles I scoff at the price of whereas this one I do not. With the low cg, the ground clearance is little to no penalty and a nice bit of…

My 1990 Subaru Legacy was PP and it wasn’t a weirdo for it. Durability in any weather was not an issue, though I suppose it was nearly thick enough for tank armor. I frequently rammed sumo-wrestler snowmen-sized boulders of snow that peeled off from the sides of the large highway plows at extra-limit speeds and I…

It’s the Popemobile’s commanding view of the circuit that gave him his edge.

I haven’t gone back to punching walls (yet), but I’ve definitely regressed into some of my PTSD reactions the last few years. I knew in 2016 that either the country or the republican party was going to die. Might end up being both, though I couldn’t give a shit about the latter. Although, if the country breaks up, I…
