As a lawyer (and a father) I will say that, while I haven’t read the underlying documents, I’m going to assume that it allows for bottle feeding / pumping and provision of bottles of breast milk for the father to be able to use to feed the child. (Having had to feed two newborns I’m also raising a skeptical eyebrow at

My daily driver doesn’t have adaptive cruise control; I never use the regular cruise control on it. But having tried it out on my wife’s car, I just don’t see the point. On the highway, either there’s no traffic, in which case the “adaptive” part of the cruise control wouldn’t actually matter since there’s nobody in

Other than trying the adaptive cruise system in my wife’s car that she got 2 years ago, I haven’t turned on cruise control of any type since... 2015? It’s not a feature that’s usable in any of my every day driving.

I’m admittedly confused -- what’s the use case for adaptive cruise? My wife’s car has it, and I’ve never encountered any scenario where it would be useful. I drive a whole lot in city traffic, and it’s useless there because it always requires such a large space between you and the car in front of you that people

The Town of Huntington on Long Island -- population 204,127 -- is the only place in the US other than New Jersey and parts of Oregon where self-serve gasoline pumps are illegal.

Everybody I know who owns one (which is at least a half-dozen people) paid over MSRP. If you want an EV and don’t want a Tesla this seems to be the choice everyone is going with.

I have one of the very first S550 Mustangs ever made — I special-ordered it in June 2014 the moment the order books opened up, and received delivery in early December 2014. Other than currently awaiting parts on a recall of a known problem -- in cold temperatures the backup camera stops working because of faulty

Here’s the thing: it’s great that Ford is continuing to make V8 performance cars when everybody else is abandoning them, and I applaud them for that. But in making a “new generation” of the car that’s just the old generation with worse styling and a VASTLY worse interior, I don’t really see what the draw of these cars

When the FF first came out, I remember reading about that insanely complicated transmission for the front wheels and thinking... this is an entirely new transmission concept; they’re only going to be building a few thousand of them ever; it’s guaranteed to break and it’s entirely possible that fixing that transmission 

The R34 GT-R, assuming you can get it into the country legally, isn’t a problem at all to maintain. Just take to it any knowledgable Nissan dealer.

Petroleum will be extracted, of course. But as demand decreases for gasoline with the increasing use of electric vehicles, petroleum companies simply won’t be refining as much gasoline, which will cause gasoline prices to rise, which will decrease demand for gasoline-powered cars, which will further decrease gasoline

I don’t think gasoline will be refined in any substantial capacity 15 years from now. Diesel, sure, because there are applications (mostly involving transporting goods) that electricity hasn’t found a way to solve yet. But gasoline? Nope.

The average age of a car on the road today is about 12.5 years. So people are holding on to their new cars for well over a decade.

We’re in the middle of a pandemic of an airborne virus that’s most likely going to pass HIV as the fourth deadliest plague of all time this year, and people are recommending that we live closer together and get on mass transit together. Absolute brain worms.

But if you’re a typical car buyer who’s looking to hold on to their purchase for 12-15 years, why would you buy into technology that will be dead long before then?

Right, but this isn’t something like a 60's vintage GTO or Charger R/T, with beautiful styiling and classy interiors. It’s got an exterior largely indistinguishible from a Ford Probe. It’s got an interior largely indistinguishible from a Celica. There’s nothing interesting about this car other than the potential of

Isn’t the main draw of these how robust they are for modding? I get the draw of an unmolested example, but when something is specifically known for being moddable and the price is super-high because it’s unmodded, then, well... you can’t mod it, because that would ruin its value, so you’re just left with a 25 year old

Battery technology is changing faster than that. Gasoline refining is going to start declining sooner than later. 

The Coyote engine in my Mustang would vastly benefit in fuel economy from automatic engine stop/ start. It’s mileage in stop and go traffic is atrocious, although it’s ok on the highway. Counterpoint is that I hate automatic stop/start.

I’m personally interested in this car, and thankfully there’s an Alfa dealership about a half-hour from me. Even though it’s identical to the Hornet, Alfa has been giving out pretty incredible lease deals recently -- for the reason you mentioned -- so it’ll probably end up being cheaper than the Dodge version with the
