I bought a Mk7 GTI when I was 29 for about $30K. I had only one speeding ticket from 5 years prior and zero my-fault accidents on my driving record, and it was $1250 every 6 months. Someone hit it while it was parked and with relatively minor damage, I still racked up $12,000 in repairs, but insurance refused to…

Dark mode UIs Lowered brightness settings help prevent you from being blinded when checking your phone at night

4th Gear: If no one knows something exists, they likely won’t talk about it very often.

If I go more than that something is usually wrong with me; either I ate too much or something went bad. Every other day is a pretty good rhythm.

To some extent, given the growing number of people without television or those cancelling their expensive newspaper subscription, that’s really the only way they’re going to hear about any news.

Yes? That’s entirely my point. I’m still not sure of yours.

This is a terrible decision and will completely fail in the US primarily because mainstream people do not buy hatchbacks. In the US, VW is a mass-market brand (like Toyota and Ford), not a luxury brand (like Genesis or Mercedes); no one who buys a 3 series or E class is going to consider a Golf.

No, they renamed the previously renamed Jetta wagon back to being a Golf wagon, which it’s always been in other markets.

So, like all Mercedes, despite its technical accomplishment, it’s completely bland and uninspiring looking. How would anyone other than the Merc tech know this was an electric car? It doesn’t have to be a crazy spaceship, but for the love of god do SOMETHING to make people realize that this isn’t just another alphabet…

Additional point: dashboards today protrude waaaaayy too far into the cabin and compromise legroom and knee integrity. Note how flat and pushed forward dashes used to be; heck, even back in 90s, here’s a Mazda, which, unlike many classics above, has passenger airbags:

Huh? Captions almost always go at the bottom of an image, be on TV, in an art gallery, or commonly in books.

If Disney is trying to maintain the rhyming motif of the previous two trilogies, they might just do that.

If anything I’m highlighting the problem, not downplaying it. If this guy didn’t have a gun, there wouldn’t be a news story about a dead man.

The aim of the initiative, according to Mr. Amerige’s memo, is to create a space for ideological diversity within the company.

Mad Max (2015). I made it about 4 hours in and stopped, because, somehow, a game set in a world where driving is a key component to the franchise had horrendous driving controls.

I picked up Moon pretty quickly once it came out, but I still haven’t finished it because of how freaking long it takes to do anything with all the unskippable dialog.

How are you driving a luxury car with a poor person’s transmission?

When it comes down to paying rent or buying a new car, I’m gonna have to pick paying rent as my first priority. Used it is!
