We didn’t have to wait for a collision for the forward collision warning system to go out on my wife’s Nissan Rogue. An ice storm managed to knock it out. Fixed under warranty.

Presumably someone who doesn’t plan on taking road trips in their EQS.

I absolutely believe this to be an issue that would keep people from buying an EV because it is on my list of concerns, too. Granted, because I plan on doing most of my charging at home if I were to get an EV, but it is something I have thought about after seeing the experiences of others.

We have a train line that runs very near our house, and just the other day, somebody drove about 50 yards through an empty field (after jumping a curb) and ended up getting stuck on the tracks. Thankfully for them, there was enough time to alert the railroad and stop any trains from coming through.

I can tell you from my own high-school experience that a 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT is not the right answer.

If they didn’t want you to park your car on the lawn, they shouldn’t have moved next door to you.

I’ve had this happen once, and my wife had it happen once.

On the one hand, this is terrible, but on the other, $27 is $27.

It really is stop-and-go traffic where automated driving would seem most useful to me. 

Impossible Seal Problem was my favorite Ska Punk band growing up.

Ferdinand Porsche really had more of a Ned Flanders mustache and he hasn’t really said anything offensive since 1951.

I’m never going to be in the market for a $200,000+ car, but I give Hyundai props for understanding the potential value of the halo car. I hope it works out for them.

It took me over 35 years to get over my 1986 Pontiac being such a piece of shit. I didn’t buy another GM car until 2022.

I had to look up how much I paid for electricity at home. And now I’m mad about all the stupid fees they tack on to the bill.

I did have three Volkswagens in a row, but the third one made me regret that choice.

We briefly had a three-row SUV, but we barely used that third row. Even when transporting a 5th person, we’d just put somebody in the middle of the 2nd row.

I had a 1990 Integra automatic sedan. It was not exciting, but I put a lot of problem-free miles on it.

You could try (and probably get away with it), but it would likely be disallowed if the IRS caught it because a car is usually personal-use property, and you can’t deduct losses from the sale of personal-use items. He’d have to make the case that he purchased the car solely as an investment and had no intention of

I think it’s natural to want to downplay the behavior of people who create products that we like, especially when that behavior threatens to punish us, the consumer of the product, by taking away something we enjoy.

As good as? None. But Cadillac was at least trying. The ‘92 El Dorado and Seville were a serious stab at moving Cadillac away from the Bit Boat-era toward a more-European style. And the interiors were not badly done at all, style-wise (they were GM. Of course, they cheaped out in several places).
