The “forked-tail doctor killer” strikes again. The V-class Beechcraft Bonanzas have a history that is not great.

Having spent a decade on a used lot, it’s amazing what constitutes a car.

So what are you suggesting? That data like that on EVs there would be MORE longer trips than shorter ones? Otherwise you’re proving my point.

My mother is from MA, but we lived in MI, so a few times a year we would road trip to her parents through Canada, meaning a few times a year I would get to see Niagara Falls. We didn’t always go the Rainbow bridge, but when the weather was right, we would just to get to see it and stretch our legs a little.

Not mine, the use case of the vast majority of drivers. Road tripping is a minute fraction of miles driven by the market. The car’s not for you because 4 days out of the year it would be an inconvenience? ::shrug:: Find one that works.

I’m still here, but it’s the Stockholm syndrome that keeps me coming back.

I’d say GM’s “HotShot” heated windshield washer fluid system. Because when it work in chilly climes, the ice/snow/frost came off in a jiffy. There was that nagging problem of fires that led to a recall of 1.5M of the units, but it was great to not have to scrape the entire windshield of a big Escalade or H2 when they…

The issue also was tires. The 185/70R14 tires, and quality of OEM tire, are not nearly as sticky (nor as wide) as the modern day tire design meaning the tires get overwhelmed quickly leading to the skid. ABS would likely increase the braking distances in this case since it’s dry and ABS is not designed specifically to…

It’s funny because minivans were perfectly cool for families relative to station wagons until the Ford Explorer came out.

Range fixation is a wild way to look for a daily driver that gets refueled in a driveway.

Did it have to actually race, because the Furai was fully functional, built on an existing racing platform used by the factory team, and wore the right sponsors and numbers.

I remember wanting a Forester in 2008 when I bought my Vibe. It was ultimately too costly for my poorness, but you could get an XT with a manual all that cargo space and gear attachment points, and really enjoy both your weekend and your drive.

Don’t get me wrong, I would totally snatch one up if there was a clean one for sale nearby, but at no time was it a some amazing car, it just looked cool and had some fun gimmicks.

I’m going to show my age a little here, but when I was a kid, walking through the neighborhood I always loved the Nissan Pulsar NX SEs. Likely for the tail lights alone because the rest of the car was biblically terrible. Leaking t-top roof, cramped interior with a pitiful layout, and a thrashy but slow drivetrain.

Guys, the Jetta GLI and Civic Si exist. With manuals. New for his price range.

I think the data indicates the **quality** of car that is involved. NJ ranking highly for aggression and aggression caused collisions makes perfect sense, and the lower fatality rate just means we’re doing it in BMWs, Volvos, MBs, Teslas and the like, not bald-tired rusty shitbox pickups while not wearing seatbelts.

My 2009 Pontiac Vibe just turned 150k yesterday. My wife’s 2013 Chrysler T&C is about to roll to 160k.

His last year as a police captain, he cleared $214k, $40k of which was OT.

It’s fucking embarrassing when the mayor of the most populous metro in a country calls college students, “children” repeatedly in an official statement.
