I very much enjoyed the fact that when he did POTUS visits in Europe, he was forced to use the current versions of AF1 and AF2. I bet he complained about it the whole flight every time he was on board.

“Right now, all we know is that there’s a purported fire hazard.”

Luxury! (in my best Yorkshireman accent). My dad worked 27 hour a day half pay washing dishes on a stone in the river.

Probably the correct answer. Much like the Dutch, I would have to be high to pay $10K for this pile. 

I wonder if he is proud to be part of the government of a state that effectively reinstated Jim Crow voting laws and exported the Taliban system of women’s rights.

I am very jealous of your normal human proportions. With my legs at the proper length for braking, acceleration, and clutch operation, the seat was so far back that my head was lined up with the B pillar and my arms were further from the steering wheel and shift handle than I was comfortable with. 

I’m priced out of the market for the caddy, probably even the polestar, but I am very much interested in knowing how the polestar 2 is to live with. Please let me know how it is treating you.

His suggestions are the choices you make with your heart, not necessarily with your head.

I’m not as slim as I once was, but was probably about 190lbs when I drove it. My problem seems to be with proportions. My legs are much longer than they probably should be for someone my height. This has kept me out of loads of small, fun cars that I really wanted to have.

I was very disappointed when I test drove one of these and realized how much fun they are, but how difficult it was for me to fit comfortably into. At 6'3", I felt like this:

As a current Volvo owner, although it is an XC90, I support this initiative. Mine is a 3.2L I6 and as reliable as the sun. 

Much as I loved my 1987 Jetta, I’m with DT on this one. I am the friend people bring their cars to when they break for diagnosis, free labor, repairs. One friend has a golf wagon that shit the ABS module within a week of purchase. Another has a 2013 Audi Q5 with 46,000 miles which needed a water pump & housing. I…

This EV wont work for me because my commute is 33.9 million miles each way and I will be towing 3,125,735 lbs. 

I’m impressed. 500 miles is enough range that I would not complain about range anxiety and charging infrastructure limitations. However, my budget limits me to the possibility of only the cheapest viable EV on the market. I can’t take the plunge on that one just yet because it is too busy setting itself on fire. I…

I genuinely hope it stays that way. 

might want to avoid rear ending it also...

Count me lucky I suppose that I never encountered that particular feeling, though most cheap econo cars I have driven were Mitsubishis. Perhaps FIATs offer a more Al Dente shifting experience.

1st Gear: I wonder how this will play out. Lets hope there are no bean counters in the bowels of GM weighing whether it is cheaper to settle lawsuits over deaths caused by bolt fires, or to fix the fire prone cars...

In my opinion, the obvious answer. Econo cars seem to be the last place a manual transmission can be found as the standard, with the automatic as the option.
