They may be designed and built by women, but all those F150s were made to stroke men’s flimsy egos. I want a world where women don’t have to design cars to make men happy. But yeah, thanks for the GPS so men don’t have to ask for directions.

Thank you, because yep.

Pick a lane guys.

Except when it’s bolted to a Minardi.

So, it’s basically an RX-7.

...you do realize a 3500lbs sedan would have done the same thing right?  

Wanted to point out that the vehicle in the video is also a 400V architecture. Some OEMs are rolling out 800V architectures. The Rivian is also a 400V vehicle, so the limitations you’re seeing in max charging rate are at least partially due to that plus lack of battery pre-conditioning (he says he didn’t…

You know what else looks good? A sky full of undiminished stars.

I mean, if the bridge is safe enough without the lights, why are we wasting energy on lights?  Nighttime’s bright enough as it is and light pollution is a real thing.

I’m assuming a “sprog” is a kid. Nobody wants to be hauling three kids in a Mazda 3 hatch.

Came here to post this. 500 layoffs from an org of 81,000? They’ll lose 10 times that number to simple turnover this year.

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm but I’ll bite.  It’s his car number.  Think he’s actually 36 or so.

I can lead a horse to water. I can’t make them drink. 

So one kid is bad at it and the other doesn’t like it. And you still want a ribbon for your “contribution?”

I’m doing my part. Have taught my 18 and 16-year-olds to drive our manual Subaru. Don’t dismiss my contribution! The 16-year-old is definitely not born to drive this car, and I (and the car) are taking our lumps teaching him. Can’t say the older kid has any specific affection for the manual, though.

Resident Zoomer here and a benefit at least for me is its a lot easier to loan someone a car when it is a manual. When manuals are essentially only for enthusiasts who actively seek them out; you can weed out people who you wouldn’t want to borrow your car. The manual pickup has gotten me out of several “hey can I…

And there’re some drivers, who are just plain bad and get into some random sh** everytime they go outside.

To not leave as many parking lot door-dings as humans they only have to not do it 50% of the time.

Former owner of a Cadillac with a Northstar engine, and I can relate.
