The bravest design in the history of excellent automotive choices, the NMCC.

This and Mazda’s red are impressive on the road. Acura’s red on the PMC models was cool too, but Lexus’ copper is unique and stunning for what is an otherwise staid brand.

Honda needs EV tech. They’ve consistently been weaker on batteries than their main competitors and that will be exacerbated by the flooding of the market with Chinese EVs that have a major leg up on the world. Remember, Honda’s EVs right now are on GM platforms because they have nothing competitive.

Cool. Find me a 7-seater with easy ingress, cargo space (Especially with the 3rd row up), 3rd row comfort for adults with legs and then bring in the gas mileage.

VW Golf Alltrack SE or SEL. Then tint the windows in the back something fierce to hide your equipment.

Can we just get over the minivan stigma? You could fill the Suez Canal with all the gasoline wasted because suburban breeders — afraid that a minivan would make them look like, well, exactly what they are — opted instead for three tons of big ugly SUV. Look, the cultural code of minivans is confused. Minivans are

Totally, just using 70 as an illustration of what 50+ years without testing looks like in terms of years.

The US should require behind the wheel driving tests every 10 years. With a written test every 5.

“Fastest lap” and “quickest lap” are essentially the same thing, there is no practical distinction between the two terms in this context. Both refer to the lap with the shortest time recorded, meaning the lap completed at the highest average speed.

Let’s rebrand EV infra expansion as “Bitcoin mining support” and they’ll build substations everywhere and then subsidize the shit out of it.

So I saw these drones like 2-3 weeks ago because I heard a helicopter at like 11 PM which is weird for our area.

And my point is, without a ton of cars that don’t need to be there, streets are safer for everyone. We’re not arguing. Streets pre-exist cars by a few centuries, there’s no reason to not have roads, but there are plenty of reasons to consider limiting the use of cars/trucks in those areas for true needs. Roads

I don’t think anyone is saying there should be no emergency response ability or reasonable accommodations.

NYC has data available for location of collisions and fault. Something like 66% of all collisions between vehicles and pedestrians are with the pedestrians in crosswalks, and 75% of the time the fault is 50% or more on the driver.

Not Christmas, but a birthday gift.

Yeah, it’s called ‘fortress mentality’ and it’s a direct result of people having kids and no actual problems in life, so they make them up like abduction and myriad other issues, up to and including needing the biggest 7-seater they can[’t] afford to put their one kid in.

Commercial and job site needs are different arguments, add to that, last-mile transport could be examined for better efficiencies to reduce the intersection of trucks and pedestrians. Robert Moses’ model to have cars go everywhere is not great, especially if you’re creating islands or razing entire neighborhoods so

We really should be talking about why we would need larger vehicles like cars and pick-ups in crowded city centers in the first place. Cities globally are moving to eliminate cars in the most crowded areas and it makes sense considering they are incompatible with every other piece of city center existence.

“America’s for sale, and you can get a good deal on it...”

MSRP already existed.
