Laminated safety glass.  Tempered glass tends to shatter into many, many pieces if you tweak it wrong.  Been there, done that.

This would look so much better without the angel-eye headlights and oversized wheels. It looks like another Chip Foose resto-mod disaster. 

I would say that we let our urban spaces by filled by gigantic speeding tanks piloted by untrained dipshits is better evidence of the “dumbest timeline” theory than some podcaster being a podcaster, personally.

Basing your next gen EV on a 15+ year old GM truck is not the way to go. The thing looks ancient and they haven’t even built or sold a single one yet. If ever the phrase “lipstick on a pig” was to be properly applied to a motor vehicle, this would be it. You can SEE the outdated truck underneath all the poorly…

No restrictions on importing 25 plus year old vehicles. 

Exactly. In regards to Jean’s former charity (Yele)...

All hail the 1988 Maserati Karif.

Euros do just fine with their little hatchbacks

Which is just stupidly bad math, because all-time 4WD means MORE money for tires.

How on earth does that switch change how much you spend on tires? If you were replacing a Viper with a Forester, I’d get it. But if you’re roasting tires in an Accord, you’re probably gonna roast tires in everything.

Buying a new car to save the money it would have cost to replace the tires is some crazy-ass math.

pretty sure subaru has strict tire requirements too. like needing to replace all 4 every time.

Did he look into what happens if one tire becomes irreparable on a Subaru?

“But it’s not all the fault of the buyer. Some models and brands have horrible resale value, which a buyer has no control over.”

I’m getting old and I know child safety and child car seat designs have changed. But my parents hauled my sister and I around in a Dodge Omni and later a Ford Tempo. Eventually, we got a minivan. The percentage of people that NEED a Ford Explorer has gotta be pretty small.

It will be hilarious when the vehicle drives off with the owner’s baby in the back seat. 

In Canada some of the sketchier lenders have an interlock on the car, you make your weekly payment and get a code that you punch in otherwise the car won’t work. I would assume they also tell the lender your GPS location too

While a lot of this is cartoonishly dystopian, I am in no way surprised that Ford (or other automobile companies) are looking for more advanced ways to force people to return vehicles. I work for a fairly large Ford dealer and one of my duties is overseeing the return of leases after they run their course. The sheer…

And what happens with these time bombs when the vehicle is paid off? Ford will provide security patches forever, right?
