Oh god, the only reason some of us are alive is because of how small Nissan’s cheapest cars are.  Now everyone that needs a cheap car financed at 30% for 120 months will have to move up to large and heavier cars, endangering us all more.

Sad to see the Versa so. It’s a cool little car and recent versions (2000+) are much nicer looking vehicles than Versas of the past. They are also absurdly popular around the world. In Mexico the Versa replaced the VW Bug as the car that all Taxi drivers tool around in. It also comes in a manual in the base version,…

Kill the Altima?

In other news, half the buy here pay here lots will go belly up in a few years.

Exact, it’s metaphorical. Driving a brodozer clearly shows you are seeking attention/validation, which is often a sign of poor self-esteem/insecurity.

Here come all the upset comments from overconfident cheap ass men.

Right, title should be:

That's a very specific use case involving Cars & Coffee. 

I question the premise of this article:

There has been a swarm of second-hand Maserati Ghiblis in my area, and they all seem to be driven by someone more interested in their phone than piloting the 4000+ lbs of steel and glass an 20mph above the limit.  I almost got sideswiped by one Sunday afternoon as the driver flew from the on-ramp across three lanes of…

The Tesla Model 3 is just the Nissan Altima for people with good credit.

Any manufacturer with half a brain has been phasing hexavalent chrome out of their products for years already because they did know this was coming. Oh, and because it’s already been phased out in a lot of the world. The US is late to the party on this one, which isn’t too surprising (whatever, we do this sort of…

Not surprising. I’m curious what these companies thought was going to happen. It’s been well known that the chroming process is super hazardous for over a century. There’s already zoning laws in certain areas that don’t allow these processes to take place.

In an article about position of hand relative to phone why no actual pictures of the positions discussed? Same goes for sex positions BTW.

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve caught a fatigue crack on my 8 hour pre-grocery store drive 500-point inspection in my honda civic. I do it every time I go anywhere, it’s only an extra days labor to any chore.

Idk there, a solid 1cm? (Dimensions hard to judge) crack in a welded part that is on visible non-redundant drivetrain parts doesn’t seem like “invisible and unpredictable” until it breaks. It seems more like the kind of thing that bridge inspectors note growing fatigue cracks on for 20 years before anyone actually…

Agreed. Nothing except an aircraft D-check would have caught this.

Having been through Germany’s TÜV inspection, I’m certain it would not have prevented this failure.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend you should have done better... but this is why places like Germany have real safety inspections, not the bad jokes that count for most areas here stateside.

I say as much in the article. It all just happened too fast.
