I just discovered I need driving shoes.

I bought the Thinkcar dongle for my M3 and it’s been working well! Since last year I diagnosed:

All of that is significantly cheaper than shelling for a new car. People are willing to spend 5-600$/m on a brand new car, but not 300$ + some maintenance here and there. I get why, but it’s completely irrational.

I like the theory that some crazy old dude made this out of rock for no particular reason, and the prince was like “this looks cool!” and was buried with it, and now experts are trying to figure out how it was part of some ancient machinery.

1. Yes, it’s exactly when a car drastically loses value, and it’s weird. If you think about it for a minute, the 100-200k range is best because the major issues have been sorted out (or will never happen), and the big value drop happened before, but everyone insists on buying/renting new cars “because it’s cheaper” ¯\_…

Earlier today I was on the highway next to a Volkswagen Atlas and it hit me how big those are, compared to my coupe. My eyes were at the level of the top of its wheel arches!

It doesn’t get more classic that the 911 IMO

Ahem.

There is only one correct answer:

What’s annoying is this line of thinking completely dodges the fact that this source of energy could be used to replace other, more polluting sources of energy (e.g. coal) but is instead used to power supercars. So in a way, it is still wasting energy. We have a similar problem with using corn to produce ethanol...

I don’t even know where to start. In no particular order:

Impressive amount of “old man yelling at clouds” type of comments here, but this is a good answer. Any service that involves a recurrent cost to operate is justified to be gated behind a subscription. For example, I wouldn’t mind paying for a service that tracks my car’s metrics and service history, detects anomalies a…

From the Veritasium video description itself:

The Escape is a terrible suggestion for someone this tall. The seats are narrow and the length of the seat itself it too short to properly support long legs over long distances. The Outback is far superior in that area, and so was the Forester last time I tried one.

It’s absolutely not that simple considering he’s 6'5". Seating comfort is by far the most ignored parameter of vehicle reviews (presumably because it’s subjective, but reviewers don’t hesitate to comment on styling...), and some brands/models have bulging center consoles that can get annoying over long drives for…

You decided that you would use all even numbers with sedans and odds with coupes... until you don’t.

I grew up in a Subaru so I wasn’t aware this was an issue... until my dad bought a Plymouth Voyager. Hoooooly frick it could get hot in that third row. I remember resting my head against the “open” flap window and wishing it would open just an inch wider. Litteral torture.

Slightly off-topic but I’ll never understand people sharing screenshots of pictures. It beats portrait filming in WTF-ness.

Shhhhh those Costco Gas hacks need to stay secret!

Yep, same here. There’s a Costco along my (pre-COVID) work commute, which is super convenient.
