Theres the correct answer. I guess you and I never have to worry about that!

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but things like the OBD, and various ECUs are not a wireless system. So... sure they can be hacked, but someone has to gain access to my OBD port first. I guess you could hack into the keyless entry, unlock my doors, install a wireless dongle on my OBD port, and then gain access, but if…

One of my biggest issues is an off shoot of yours, is when people say they drove ‘X’ car and it was unreliable and always broken, yet they don’t perform regular maintenance. I’ve owned a few different makes of cars and people constantly tell me how surprised they are my cars last so long. All I do is replace parts…

Couldn’t agree more with this. I made the switch to summer and winter tires a few years ago and people are amazed that ‘my little car’ doesn’t get stuck in the snow. It seems like such a strange concept to so many people, I just don’t understand it. There was a lady stuck in my apt parking lot once and I had to move…

I drove a Grand Prix for a while, and I’m amazed at how many new cars don’t have the features my ‘98 did.

My nephew who is 12 asked me the correct way to say it because he heard me say ‘Por-sha’ and I told him that it is in fact correct to say it like that, but a lot of people don’t. Now I guess he gets in arguments with other kids about how they’re saying it wrong. Whooops.

I knew this car from Grand Turismo 2, and loved it. Then when I got little older I remembered it and thought.. no way that car was real, let me look it up. Boy was I pleasantly disappointed we didnt get these in the US. Thanks for the write up, it was great to read about it first hand!

Yea thats why I’ve got a fwd wagon lol. Audi and Volvo have some awd wagons, and man is that V60 nice, but it sucks theres no manual option.

I’m almost wondering if in 5+ years the manual will make a come back like vinyl did. You talk to my dad and he wonders why everyone is clamoring for record players, but you talk…

I totally know what you mean. Every time I look at something used that I feel should be less money I realize its about double what I figured, and just give up hope.

Sounds like a plan to me! I’ve got a 13 year old jetta wagon thats fun and reliable enough for the time being, especially living in a place that gets snow.

As someone that makes slightly more, getting ready to be married next year, and have student loan debt I feel like a crazy person every time I hear the price of new cars. Every time I hear the price of something that I would realistically want to drive, I think to myself ‘well I’ll just never own a new car’. I get a…

Compromised. Like your 4WD system is a botched gov’t operation haha.

Same here. But this did happen to me when bringing in my car for an alignment this winter (with my tiny 15in winter wheels). The guy told me my rear brakes needed replacing ASAP. I said I had done all 4 pads and rotors myself, and I knew the fronts were good because I checked when I had done my front suspension…

Southfield Freeway is great too. It has a 55mph speed limit, so I always start at 60 and go up from there to match traffic so I don’t die when an ex cop car crown vic comes barreling on the highway. I was doing 82 on Sunday and still getting passed by people in cars that are barely road worthy.

I feel like sharing a car would be like sharing music. Sure there is some overlap, but you’d really need to group the people together correctly. Not like you can make everyone that lives near each other, or work together go to the same show when it comes to town. Hell, my friends and I have similar tastes in cars, but…

That’s what I was thinking. I want to share a car with my buddies because we could all come to agreement on something cool.

I don’t fly terribly often, but any time I’ve been pulled out of line its always for the dumbest thing. Pencil sharpener, I got pulled out because I had a high density foam model for college, just stupid shit. I love that if they don’t know what it is, they don’t believe what you tell them it is, and it must be a bomb.

I got pulled aside for a battery operated pencil sharpener in my bag. They pointed to the screen and asked what the weird object was with batteries inside. I told them it was a pencil sharpener. They asked why I had it. Design student. They didnt believe me, they opened upmy bag and inspected a battery operated pencil…

I recently flew out of Newark Airport, and had a wonderful instance of the TSA keeping us safe. My gf and I went to our gate, and I promptly fell asleep in the chair since I was quite hung over. She wandered off to explore the airport, and I woke up to text that she had accidentally walked out of the secure area…

Right right, I just thought I remembered someone commenting on his terrible line, and the guy explained it was because he was trying to keep the mustang in frame.
