Honestly (but probably just because of the general assholerly of 'enthusiasts'), I would get rid of the whole left lane = fast thing.

A friend has a vette with these keys. When removing something from the back, the key fell and the hatch almost closed. That's normally not a problem, but this car couldn't 'see' the key there, so it thought it was gone & locked up, which pulled the hatch closed & lockEd the key inside.

What you should be upset about is that those seats aren't easily removable to reveal a flat space accessible through a lift-back—Boom! insurance savings and usefulness.

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."

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.
