I don’t get the hate for that car. I mean, I guess it should have been a full hatchback, but it’s not THAT bad.

Particularly when it looks suspiciously like a GTV 6 on steroids,

I was thinking doctors, pharmaceuticals, , pharmacists and funeral homes.

This goes beyond the conduct that you can waive. Typically it has to be related to the activity in question. Getting blasted with water while a ski lift isn’t really the type of risk you expect from skiing. 

Jesus, that sounds like a fast track to hypothermic shock. They are lucky to be alive, that is the sort of shit that literally [not figuratively] gives people cardiac arrests. I hope the resort is comping their medical bills.

Also, consider an interim car, something undesirable but functional enough to last you for a few years until the market settles out. As an example, I have a tiny, old Mazda hatchback with a manual transmission. It easily has 5 good years left in it, but it’s not really worth any more than pre-pandemic (and should…

The stop signs are too darn many! A whole lot of them could be replaced with yield signs with zero consequences to road user safety. Country road intersecting another country road? Yield sign. Suburban street dumping into a main arterial road? Stop sign. But that would require the cops to give up that slam-dunk ticket…

What are you talking about? A year ago this still would have sounded crazy... Stop pushing your false narrative. 

I think the bigger concern here is the sentence stating “Will not exit passing lanes”. Does this mean from now on Teslas will be hogging the left lane 100% of the time? Lane hogging is already bad enough as it is. I am not familiar with Autopilot, can you set the speed like cruise control? If so then are we going to…

“We all rode in the trunk of our parents’ Pinto and survived. What’s the problem?”

Bravo. “Don’t pull Superman’s Cape....” Jim Groce

Yup.

more importantly, did Flaten get to keep the wheel barrow?

So of he treats his employs this bad. just think of how bad he would treat you car...

GTIs haven’t been in stock anywhere for a long time. No wonder they nosedived.

70's “personal luxury coupes” were stupidly cramped. We had a 77' Buick Regal of the GM “colonnade coupe” genre. The Tempo that replaced it had far more room for my 6' teenage legs. I don’t know if the trunk was bigger, but it was certainly a more usable shape. 

“Welcome to America Carlos! You are likely to be disappointed in our chocolate and healthcare,”

So...what does this have to do with cars again?

I don’t mind some news on shit like this when there is SOMETHING related to cars contained within, but come on.....leave this shit to CNN.

The Midwest is an incredibly boring area to be a car enthusiast, yet it has the highest percentage by far. It does help explain why muscle cars have always been so popular and small, light sports cars and hatchbacks not, doesn’t it?

The only time I can remember feeling some sort of patriotism for the US was when driving around a friend from the UK and having them lose their shit when I turned right on a red light. “YOU GUYS CAN DO THAT?” Fuck yeah we can.
