I always love those “mechanical issues” excuses ... ‘cause they’re pretty much always bullcrap. My money says she left it in neutral without even putting the friggin parking brake on and that’s why a friggin 8 ounce dog can easily move the shift lever one notch. Total dipshit owner should have her license revoked…

My definition of that word more closely aligns with the dictionary’s:

I’d buy one. Of course, I’m nowhere near solvent enough to afford a $40,000 vehicle right now, but if I were ... I’d buy one. Just to be “that guy”.

On board with you there ... this specific instance is a glorious time capsule of the era. I would certainly drive it and revel in the disgust and occasional vomiting that innocent viewers undergo, but I most certainly would not pay nearly 19 grand. Take a zero off the right side of that number, now you’re talking my…

judgmental little fucks. You can “Ok boomer” me all you like but

4th Gear

Of course I should have made it clear I’m not actually condemning the riders or trying to sound alarmist, just thought it was an amusing bit of cognitive dissonance / factoid (the fact that even though lane splitting is legal the riders shown were still doing it “wrong”).

... and that pic of the car’s faux-Mustang tail lights reminds me of something else that was bouncing around my head earlier ... does the Mach-E have sequential turn signals like the Real Mustang? If not, the “mustang inspired” marketingspeak becomes even more pretentiously insipid than it already is. However, if it do…

Funny thing about your lede image ... it looks like SoCal to me based on the HOV lane separated from standard lanes by double yellow lines ... but even though “lane splitting” is legal in Cali, what those riders in that pic are doing is illegal if they are in fact in California. Lane splitting is actually termed “lane…

The Mach E just looks like a taller Mustang with four doors,

you can actually see exactly how big it is next to a human in this picture

That was just an example, and just like the original graph had 3 clusters, so too in pie form there would necessarily be 3 of them. But the point is that by using the pie you can more readily grasp how much each story influenced the opinions of the readers. Anyhoo ... here ya go:

A really common type of accident happens when someone makes a right-turn-on-red while looking left. This is a natural thing to do because traffic comes from that direction, but it means you aren’t looking at people stepping into the crosswalk you’re accelerating into.

That vertical bar graph hurts my head ... it’s a shitty shitty graph, and it makes it extremely unclear what is being posited, and your analysis / summary of the meaning is very likely incorrect.

You can have an accident that is simply not a crash. You can also have a crash that is not an accident.

... the app pockets <snip> apps like Lyft do not ...

CR also drives the insanely short “expected lifespans” of home appliances.

Anybody else thinking that Ford is using this to test the waters of making a “Mustang” sub-brand? Multiple different vehicles, all Mustang-This and Mustang-That?

don’t think 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds is fun?
