The idea behind it is condescending AF, but who am I to argue against a close in spot that’s wide enough to avoid door dings?! Plus I don’t thing creeps and rapists are going to be hovering around these spots all the time. I’ve never gone along with the whole “girls are constantly under threat” thing, mostly because I…
On the bright side, if a group of people gets a special parking place because they’re shit at parking, they don’t get to complain when people make fun of terribly parked cars in those spots.
Just sayin’.
Besides the blatantly backwards sexist attitude, they aren’t doing anything to help solve the perceived problem. Just like back in the day when US auto manufacturers marketed automatic transmission towards women because they are easier. Instead it just gave us something terrible that made life easier for bad driver…
It’s not just China. I know for a fact that Germany, Australia, Switzerland many other countries had these kind of spots for years now. I was actually surprised when I saw some in Frankfurt, they were extra wide and very close to the door.
We get t. You’re not smart enough to now how international commerce works Please tell us which car you own so we may school you as to where it was actually built or where the parts come from. I guarantee you that it may have been “assembled” in a union plant but parts come from somewhere else and money is going to…
First thing that comes to mind when you think “President Trump’s Limo” is clearly a stretched, gold hummer. Very classy and understated. Also saying “President Trump” aloud is really, really fucking weird.
With all the Trump coverage, I forgot how cool it is to have an adult president.
The easiest manual transmission for a beginner, ever, too.
I dream of owning a BMW 700. A gruesome death behind the wheel is just the fun of ownership.
As someone whose list of dream cars includes a Berkeley SE492, that Tsuru looks like a tank.
Well, there’s evidence that even the US versions of certain international cars are better-built for safety. For less-premium markets, automakers will remove airbags and use thinner metal for impact beams, if they aren’t omitted altogether.
They should do a LADA next!

SISU!!!!!!!!!
And start buying the damned things new!!!!
We, US-grounded stick-shift enthusiasts, are dinosaurs. We keep harping about the lack of availability of manual cars in the US, when in another decade or so most cars won’t have any gears (like a Tesla) or will be self-driving and fully taking over from you if you try to drive in a more exuberant way.
I didn’t. I saved all of my stupid reckless shenanigans for mid/late 20's - aka when I should “know better”.
Even when some justice is dispensed it’s often for a lesser charge. i.e. Bryce Masters; the officer that tased him long enough to disrupt his heart rhythm plead guilty to “Violating Civil Rights.” by dropping his clinically-dead body face first onto pavement. The officer in that instance only got 4 years in prison…
