Kinja sucks

And more would then kill themselves.

I'd rather they just leave all that junk out of the car and keep a traditional stereo. I really don't need nav—certainly not enough to use up the whole of the center console with a screen.

I couldn't care less what the dash is made of so long as it is durable & doesn't cast reflectiosn in the windshield. If you need it to be soft, you need to stop fondling your dash. When you aren't touching it, it doesn't matter if it's hard.

I remember when luxury meant quality and not techno-weenie gadjet doo-dads.

While I generally like the niceties like power windows, there are plenty of features I DON'T want. I have no intention of ever buying a car with a touch screen. If my next car is only offered with a touch screen stereo, I plan to pull it out and replace it with a traditional unit.

I would change this suggestion from "data recorder" to "dash & rear cameras integrated with data recorder."

Kinja sucks. Fuck Kinja.

Instead of tilting the mirrors, they just need mirrors that show what you need to see. Ford has integrated convex inserts—that's a far better solution than adding actuated joints, motors, controls, etc.

If they just made cars with proper visibility, they wouldn't need back-up cameras.

Doesn't a conversation require two-way communication?

I love the name "Honda Rodan." It doesn't exist, but it should. I would totally drive a Rodan.

"Mk" meaning "generation" is stupid, but it has nothing to do with Lincoln, where it obviously means "Mortal Kombat."

All this showed up in anime decades earlier.

Exactly—symmetrical conflict (it takes an Iron Man to beat an Iron Man, it takes a Hulk to beat a Hulk, it takes a super-soldier to beat a super-soldier, it takes an angel to beat an angel, it takes a vampire to beat a vampire, it takes a human-animal genetic hybrid to beat a human-animal genetic hybrid, it takes a…

The watch is quite meh. I had a HS friend who had a watch with a remote built into it that he'd use to randomly start/stop/turn off movies in class. He also had an hp graphing calculator that could be programmed to turn itself on at a certain time, execute the random start/stop/off control for the movie, and then turn…

Paint mixer—cut off the hook, bend the loop into a shape that fits in the paint can, and attach to a drill. The more random the shape you bend it into, the better the mixing.

Ah, Jalopnik, where aparantly herd mentality is the norm, where you don't get to decide for yourself what's cool.

1. The new layout <i>is</i> easier to navigate. That's good.

I believe a dial design of speedometers is better than numeric digits, and I believe it should not be moved around on the dash. That means a digital version isn't any better than an analog one. However, digital numbers behind it would permit easy switching between mph & km/h, but I don't know if that is desirable.…
