The absolutely only good and useful thing in modern infotainment systems is apple car play/android auto. Without that, they can shove these stupid tablets. Too simple a solution, I guess, and they can’t charge a subscription for it nor hobble capability in the future as part of a plan of forced obsolescence. But, hey,

It’s simple: you drank, you don’t drive. Bunch of weak damn junkies making excuses and the lack of consequences and societal enablement means we all have to deal with intrusive annoyances on top of the rest of the problems they cause and the threats they pose instead of the real culprits getting what they deserve.

I think that’s going pretty damn easy on them.

Then you’re just a fucking idiot—you know you’re drinking alcohol, end of excuses. I may have only been drunk a handful of times and only a couple to the point where I couldn’t do anything but lay down and I sure as shit knew I was drunk and way too drunk to drive well before that moment even if I didn’t restrict

The lawyers should also be bundled into the back of the boat with their clients and dumped far out to sea. Sure, swimming with no hope of reaching shore is scary, but they’ll do it with the hope that the people mocking and laughing from the boat will change their mind and pick them up and I hear drowning is just like

So, by that argument, if someone were to shoot these murdering executives in the head and they died instantly, it seems it would barely register as a crime? They died instantly, so all’s OK! Of course, the real suffering here if the poor executives having to pay expensive lawyers to weasel out of any kind of

They buy the things because they’re selfish cowards. Appeasing their fears falls under the hierarchy of needs, which takes precedence over concern for others. For many, empathy is a luxury for those with fulfilled needs. That’s giving credit for the higher thinking capacity necessary to understand consequences of

Yeah, that’s rich. Maybe not among some obscene country club set, but you’re in the 1% of 1% of the world population as am I. And I could claim the same “self-made” nonsense and for similar reasons, plus in spite of a sociopathic father I was lucky I didn’t have to kill to protect others, but good for us working and

Exactly, they don’t “want” to move them in a smaller car—they can, but they feel entitled to more. You should see what people in countries with even bigger families that aren’t full of entitled wusses get around with because they have to.

How many of these concerned people as pedestrians are also the assholes not paying attention when they’re driving?

Are you confusing them with McLarens in general that aren’t Murray’s cars? If not, which Murray cars are you referring to? The Formula 1 cars for which reliability is not expected, the Rocket that there is only a handful of and is basically a 4-wheel motorcycle, or the McLaren F1, known for endurance race wins and

Underrated tires and usually can be had for a really good deal!

People who buy HR-Vs care about looks? It might look different, but the last one was also ugly as hell and sold well, so I’m in doubt of aesthetics being the reason for sales drop unless the eunuchs who buy these parade floats have a fondness for a very particular kind of ugly.

I guess that this is Dodge answers my following question, but why does this need to project outwards beyond some minimal pedestrian awareness requirement? If the driver wants sound feedback accompanying throttle input change, then the driver is the only one who needs to hear it on the inside of the car, not people

Sloth and Good Boy graphics. Not sure if I would keep it simple or cover it with different scenes. I guess it would depend on the cost since I’d have to get them printed on vinyl—painting them myself would be beyond my ability.

My old boss was bombarded with emails, so he would skim, missing important information even in simple bullet format. Adding dry humor to the emails made them longer to read, but he would actually read them. Small sample size, sure, but so’s the one used to reach the conclusion put up by The National Academy of “Science

Who is suggesting that? Is this a reply to someone else? The DeLorean—as commented multiple times here—was SS over composite.

So’s working with 3mm thick SS and the production of it. He could get the same effect from only using it as a decorative finishing skin. And it only eliminates a paint shop if it’s built in its own factory, not in one shared with cars that require painting. Not only that, they’re eliminating a cheap and easy way to

The panels are supposed to be 3mm thick. What cost savings are there other than with production ones self-imposed by the abjectly stupid plan in the first place? The whole idea for this should have been a throwaway drunken “what if?” conversation. If this asswipe just wanted SS (because of the common abbreviation’s

Because the stainless steel was only a finishing skin over composite with the DeLorean and Middle School Musk intends on building his stupertruck out of the stuff, including really thick body panels (I forget the measurement—3mm, maybe?—it was something absurd that made me laugh when I first read it).
