“For $2,000, you got a five-inch unit in a terrible position.”

Here come the strangely defensive nerds. Popcorn at the ready.

The government you elect is government you deserve.

This is the fault of voters.

I would hypothesize that anyone buying an Equinox probably doesn’t give a shit either.

I wonder about that, though. Are these issues more frequent with the Bronco launch, or are they just more publicized because the Bronco is wildly popular? We probably don’t hear about it when a Chevy Equinox comes with mismatched parts because no one gives a shit except the buyer.

Sounds somewhat similar to my gas door. It’s a Subaru where you have to pull the floor mounted latch to release the door. In the winter it’s very common that you pull the lever, walk around the car and find the door is still frozen shut. So you give the door some taps, walk back around, open the driver door, pull the…

People who own or have reviewed the Mach-E generally say that it is a superb automobile. And if the Lightning drives as well as the F-150 upon which it is based, the Lightning should be a excellent vehicle.

So you’re that bean counter the engineers always blame when someone dies because something was under-engineered?

Just imagine what repair costs are going to be when these cars start to get older. Even simple issues are going to require multiple diagnostic trees depending on which variant you have.

Ask one of those engineers how they feel about removing a ‘redundant’ safety system from a device that directly impacts the health and safety not only of the user but the people in the immediate vicinity.

Just ask.

It’s also going to hurt consumer confidence in their new products (eventually). Tesla thinks it can do no wrong because the current demand for their products is high; but any economist or marketing professional worth their salt will tell you that demand shifts happen ALL THE TIME. Once you’ve earned a bad reputation,…

I’ve said it before in the comments of another article and I’ll say it again here: Tesla’s shenanigans are going to eventually affect the resale value of its vehicles. Consumers are going to wise up to the growing list of mid-year tweaks, and realize that you have to know the build date of the car to know if you’re…

A company that shipped cars with parts sourced at the local Home Depot would do this? I am shocked, shocked I say.

Retro styled concept cars predated the introduction of the GTO, so it wasn’t unreasonable for people to want a reborn GTO to “look like a GTO”

In it’s defense, the GTO was pre-throwback body styles. The S197 Mustang really set that trend in 2005. If you look at the muscle cars of the early 00's with legacy names, none of them have any major attention paid to paying tribute to their forefathers.

Big yikes on the immediate reply with “hey you damaged my car with pet hair, let’s talk off the app so you can pay me” within the same minute of submitting the rental return. For me that’s a response of “Nice scam, no pets went near this vehicle. I will charge back anything you add to the claim and cancel the card if…

I think a lot of people get in to it after buying a new car, thinking they’ll make up the car payment + some profit, and then sell it in a couple years. Obviously being in good condition is key to this strategy.

It did give us that great meme template though. 

It may have been technically about motorcycles, but American Chopper has to be at the top of the list. It was the progenitor of every one of the terrible, formulaic, faux-reality, artificial-deadline-y, overdramatized custom car shop shows that followed, from American Hot Rod all the way to Counting Cars and every…
