Very good point. As a mechanical engineer and someone with extensive driving experience/training both on the road and at the track, I have an above average theoretical and practical understanding of relative speeds and even I have a tough time at night when cars are going significantly faster or slower than expected. …

Most drivers have a very difficult time understanding relative speeds between their vehicles and approaching vehicles from any direction. The truck most likely assumed the vehicle coming to the intersection would stop or at least slow down and posed a low risk for collision. Additionally, the truck was on a…
I’m with you. I look forward to pulling on the interstate, switching on auto pilot, and letting my car enter a convoy of closely spaced vehicles traveling efficiently at 80+ mph without bobbing and weaving. It will change the worst part of my day (I like my job and love spending time with my family) into one of the…
It’s actually a toss-up between my brother and sister-in-law for very different reasons. My brother-in-law drives like a maniac by driving erratically, speeding and shooting gaps in heavy traffic, and generally just assuming others will give in and let him rule the road. He also has a history of wrecking cars (at…
Just remember, they aren’t here for our safety, they are here to raise money for their states and localities which rely heavily on traffic fines to fund their budgets. They prefer to sit on the side of the road looking for mostly innocuous speeders instead of actively patrolling the roads and looking for aggressive…
It certainly is unique especially in that great shade of blue. There is something to be said about a performance car you can just drive and have fun in without worrying about decreasing its value due to mileage. I have been babying an excellent condition 2002 M5 for three years now and am tempted to go out and pick up…
The Neon will always be remembered as an economy car with some great performance potential between the ACR and the crazy tunable SRT4s. My only experience with a Neon was a friend who bought a few years old one in college that had already started to disintegrate but I certainly appreciate any well-kept ACRs and SRT4s.
Bradley, you should win some sort of award for having one of the cleanest and best-sorted Neons in present day. That isn’t saying much, as at least 75% of the cars produced were either totaled or rusted and/or vibrated themselves into dust but seriously, that is one clean and good condition car you have right there.
Yeah, I had a similar experience last year when I got a whooping 4% increase but my boss is a decent guy and well aware that it was significantly less than inflation so he was more apologetic than anything (he wasn’t gaslighting like your boss clearly was). The first year of the pandemic lead to a 1% increase which is…
Every time I see a 997 that is a reasonable price, I get my hopes up only to find that it is an automatic. I have seen the same car (year, miles, condition) that is $70K with a 6MT go for $50K with the tiptronic or even the later PDK versions.
That pick of the DGM Legacy GT makes me miss my spec.B. I cleared the headlights, installed a JDM STi sport grill, and it sat a bit lower but that was a pretty close pic. If only I could find an unmodified one in the used car market.
Despite having a fairly long, sloped driveway, I like getting a few extra steps in on recycling days and have never thought it was a bad thing. With that said, I pay an extra $5/month to my garbage removal company to come down my driveway and pick up my trash.
I feel the exact same way. The Cybertruck reminds me of the “futuristic” technology featured in 80's flicks like Robot Jox and Total Recall and pretty much all the European wedge concept cars of the 80's. I also can’t help but think of early polygon car models from video games of the early to mid nineties including…
I had the same issue at my hotel in Malaga. Even with the Astra, I had to do three-point-turns at the bottom of every ramp and was surprised that the car didn’t scrape or bottom out at each ramp due to the extremely steep angle. The first time was a bit tricky but after that, it got easier each time.
I can’t tell you how many racist and/or homophobic 12-25 year old shitstains I have to mute and report on a regular basis while I play GTAV Online due to them constantly dropping N-bombs and the F word (not Fuck, the other one).
Maybe Jayofthedamned is assuming most Gran Turismo players take Ambien prior to playing...
It has been a great car and perfect for our needs. On days where I work from home, I can make two round trips to my kid’s school without using any gas and even during my 80ish mile commute, I am able to average around 55 mpg-e which is great for a big, comfortable, heavy (2.5 tons) luxury car. I went into it thinking…
I was hoping they would include the larger battery and turbo-6 from the Panamera and create an S7 PHEV. Oh well...
That’s exactly what I am talking about. They have at least discontinued the PHEV A7 but both cars, and I believe the A8 were produced with the PHEV drivetrain for 2ish years. Porsche even has a PHEV Panamera, albeit with a V6 instead of the I4 in the A7.
