5th Gear: Toyota Delays The Plug-In Prius, Not That Anyone Would Buy It

3rd Gear: Is Ride-Hailing A Threat? (No)

The notion of “cigarette boat” has been historically based on a very specific style of speed boat (aka “go fast boat”) that existed well before there was any “Cigarette” brand of boats. The term comes from the powerful high speed boats used by cigarette smugglers. The brand steals from pop culture / history, and is…

That Honda is not really a ‘retro’ design. The only ‘retro’ features it has at all are the round headlights and pseudo-dogdish hubcaps. It’s basically just another kei car ... cute, yes, stylish, sure, but not in the same design theory as the retro vehicles Afroman was pointing out.

Nice ... pay attention sweetpea ... HUNDREDS of lives in the US due to TRUcK (heavy duty, i.e., “semis”) accidents.

From what I’ve read on that subject, your statement is incorrect in it’s simplicity. What I mean by that is that you and others are referring to “automated braking” which implies the car will perform ordinary necessary braking maneuvers without driver input.

Agree. I personally cannot get my head around this ... this ... practice? of people taking their fucking dogs with them everywhere they go ... especially small dogs, doubly especially roaming free in the car instead of locked up, and triply especially when the frickin driver holds the dog in their lap while driving! I…

I’d prefer the dead/injured people. Seriously. In no way shape or form to I subscribe to that tired and trite nonsense that “first priority is to save lives”. Unmitigated utterly irrational and functionally insane bullshit.

Pretty much every non-premium brand is like that. The Korean, Japanese, and American non-premium brands all put obviously cheap accouterments on their base models. Do you remember Saturn? Back in the 90's, they had one of the least expensive cars you could buy. Their base sedan model came in various colors, and all of…

Diet is only half the battle ... sounds like you got that under control. Don’t let your self-consciousness hold you back from going to the gym ... if you’re surrounded by ‘fashionably fit’ people just keep telling yourself that is what you are going to look like. Use that image as motivation.

Ford <snip> haven’t been investing in cars much at all for the last decade.

Why on earth would you buy a new car every 2 years????

Love the OG banana seat. My first bike (appx 1970 or so) was an off-brand Stingray-ripoff ... but had all the classic looks: beefy squared off “drag” rear tire, long & lean banana seat and a 3-ft sissy bar, high-rise handlebars.

is /DRIVE (slash drive) the same thing as THE drive (tripdub thedrive.com)?

Small cars are generally cheaper too, and take up less space Not everyone can afford a giant SUV or a giant parking space.

Cute video.

Let me join all the other respondents, but using slightly different words: the use of the term “beta” by Tesla is simply a marketing tool. It is a “branding exercise” (exactly like the practice first broadly used by Google) and NOT any kind of legally defined technical description. Drivers of Teslas are NOT beta…
