Nowhere near as bad as these, but I remember carpooling with a couple other guys I worked with for a trip across the border to Windsor (from Detroit) to visit an assembly plant we supported, taking the tunnel.

As they are forcing us into the office three days a week, and I joined when a commute was not a thing, my commute is now part of my work day - so Teams being considerably more functional on Android Auto is going to be a huge plus.

While I much preferred it at a point in the year where I may or may not be able to wear shorts (2023 I could, 2022 I could not) and not have to worry about a blizzard...there’s something about it being in January (sentimentality, likely) that just seems right.

Whatever the unidentifiable brown substance was in the passenger footwell, which I had to freeze and scoop out with a spoon after we bought our ‘98 Cavalier for $800, along with a lot of pizza crumbs/crust...and cigarette ash.

And I’m sure that sounds absolutely awful.

And that’s ignoring the Megazilla crate engine, which is 615HP and 638 lb-ft

Wow, just the feature nobody was looking for!

Now, I’d like if diesel could actually drop similarly...it’s still stuck up near the $4/gal mark around me (it uncharacteristically careened into the $5s/gal back in mid-2022 and has oh-so-slowly fallen back down).

The IRA is meant to be a driving force behind EV manufacturing in the U.S. The measure, which is intended to stop consumers from buying Chinese technology

Meanwhile, in the US, someone would probably be spouting out nonsense that the fire is a hoax and trying to badger people into staying put to “own the libs”.

I’d really like it to be black, with a black controller...

Yep - the crumple zones effectively lengthen the amount of time the impact “takes”, thus reducing the force of the event.

When we got our Cavalier (RIP) for $800 back in 2012, the kid who sold it to us delivered pizzas and apparently a chain smoker, so the entire interior was full of ash and pizza crust/crumbs. That was the easy stuff to remove - we pulled everything from the carpet to the headliner and gave the whole thing a thorough…

Always Reliant Robin. Always.

People with a gas vehicle who take the only diesel pumps when multiple gas-only pumps are available.

Remember how the Automaker’s Alliance tried to scare everyone into voting “No” for this by insisting voting “Yes” would allow sex offenders to hack into your vehicle?

Does the Rivian come with pedals in the opposite spots or something?

PCH was honestly pretty damn spectacular during our Honeymoon to SF. Had an absolute blast driving that road...and then combine it with the views...wow.

For something I use often or will need to turn on/off (HVAC, for instance), having actual buttons is absolutely preferred.

I mean, I guess at least this gives you a fighting chance to jump out of the way when it hops the curb.
