If you fold the seat down it has a completely flat floor around 5' 6" from the rear hatch to the back of the front seats (not all the way up). I can fit a large plastic storage bin in the back with all the seats up. The C-max has a lot more space than its size would suggest (very Euro in that way). As for the Kayaks,…

try a ford c-max too, also a wagon and handling is excellent for a hybrid

Why should we subsidize anything (Except when in war like WW1/WW2)? That cuts spending big time (note that leaves plenty of room for entitlements that some of y’all like). Then just eliminate income tax to begin with and just do what we did 100 yrs ago, fund everything through excise taxes/user fees. You can make some…

Exception: Grey Wagons, those are OK.

MSP is the absolute limit climate wise for cycling in the winter for me. Any further north like Fargo or Bismarck where you add high winds and even colder temps than Minneapolis, no thanks.

The vehicle was the last stand of the Lansing Craft Centre. That and Fisher Body were demolished at around the same time. The remains leave a giant hole in Greater Lansing.

I learned to drive on a 1st gen. My Dad was given a prototype in Lansing to take up North for a week to try. I was a little kid and I still think that car is awesome! My Dad liked it so much he eventually bought one after 1999 so GM lending him one back before 1995 made bank for them haha! If it only had an LS1…

One day in a parallel universe I’d either like to thrash my Ford C-Max Hybrid with its Perfect Pirellis around COTA or just ride low and slow with a 1995 Olds 98 Regency (gotta have the red velvet interior and I need my fur coat back so I can be like Jackie Moon in Flint being like get the Funk Outta My Face!!!). I…

I got to drive a lap at COTA in 2014 when scouting the track for FSGP/ASC in a GM-owned Chevy Suburban! I don’t care that I couldn’t go fast in the corners or that there was lots of scientific equipment in the vehicle weighing it down... It was an unforgettable experience. The flow of the curves, the body lean when…

One? I got two for the guaranteed time one will break where I live.

In North Dakota you drive at any safe speed and let the 30+ mph NW winds from the frozen depths of Hell...I mean friendly Canada do the work for you.

When plebs can afford the flagship phones, it is no longer a reliable indicator. The patrician thing is burner offbrand phones now, one for every day of the week. Stealth wealth...

I have the feeling that they will soon

If a driverless car is set to talk to other vehicles...what’s the issue? If it is truly an emergency, your autonomous car can possibly get you the care to stay alive faster than an ambulance. We already have law to deal with calling for an emergency when there is no emergency that could be determined by a reasonable…

I live in a sparsely populated area. There are very large areas of the US with no taxis or Uber/Lyft. Give me a self driving car that I can sit in the back seat that puts me right in my garage wherever it is and I’ll write the check. DUI laws be damned.

I demand that it detects my inflatable doll in the passenger seat. Gotta beat traffic alone in the HOV lanes somehow.

Because if you have a passenger in the front seat...he or she can do that for you.

I always get the base model for this reason...buttons and the fact that there is just less to go wrong to begin with when you have as little bells and whistles as possible.

Unlike Mustangs, Teslas are able to autonomously drive without intentionally hitting pedestrians at the first sign of Cars or Coffee.

If there is a business that has that short of a time limit to do business with them with no option to stay longer (exception on-street parking)...it is clear that they don’t want my business. In that case I oblige...no business for them.

When I’m doing field work, I’ll stay at a fast food place for 1/2 hr to 1 hr…
