Wow, I hadn’t noticed how badly it was damaged until I saw your freeze-frame...obliterated is a good representation.

Agreed the boosted I4 in x28 variant sounds like a blender choking on rocks....my dad jokes that my mom’s x3 sounds like a diesel tractor from the 40s.

The Doritos! Problem is they burn lubricant too soon, which slows traffic down and then everything grinds to a stop.

You could easily go with Bitch for the Burb....maybe a little cliché...I don’t know, I’m a little out of touch at times.

@Lawrence in all honesty, is there some direction from Rory or others to use this slideshow format? I’m curious if you’d see higher (total) page view counts without them, if folks knew you’d abandoned the format?  Just curious.

I know all about Chrysler’s push button TorqueFlite, thanks.

Good insight

Hyperbole, it's a hell of a drug....sorry my excitement and rage apparently got the better of me.

I think the biggest issue for me on these button systems is that there’s no consistency across brands and they all seem to be throwing whatever they can at the wall and seeing what sticks.

What is this garbage?!  I had no idea engineers were going to these lengths to make getting into the correct gear such a nightmare!  The FCA knob was bad enough but this....what is this!?

Oooff, I got kinja’d or I fat fingered on my mivile., I'll let you decide.
