Replacing the head on my 01 this weekend.  Excited and scared at the same time. 

Not a single damn car looks good in harlequin. It’s a kindergarten answer to automotive paint options. Cute once, but that’s it. Instead, everybody needs to fight the good fight and keep screaming for choice / buying colorful cars whenever we can. For just this one thing, let’s go back to 1974:

Answer: NONE. It’s stupid.
Sorry, not sorry, if that hurts your feelings.

EDIT: Maybe a clown car.

Duesenberg

That solution seems to create a whole new set of problems...

Wholey sith it’s got door sills!

To each their own, but I wholeheartedly disagree with leaving a kid in the car. Especially a 4 year old that’s old enough to hop out and join you. It takes less than a minute for someone to steal a car. Even if you can “see your car and kid,” by the time you react, its too late.

This was my take for a long time - my first purchased car (not including the 16-year-old Chevy C10 my grandpa let me drive) was 8 years old; my second soon after was six years old, albeit a Dodge Neon with power nothing, no features except an automatic and broken AC. I also had a 12-year-old Dodge Dynasty, a 14-year-o…

I think you’re reading that incorrectly - the OP is saying that they’ve never had a car less than 10 years old, not over 10 years old. I.e. they’ve never owned a car that wasn’t at least 10 years old (like their current Vue, which is now old enough to vote).

86-1/2 Ford Aerostar, shorty. Bought it two years old with 88,000 miles on it already. Drove it to 240,000 miles, sold it to my mechanic. Casually checked with him a decade later, he’d used it to get parts or as a loaner then sold it on. The van was still going with 400,000 miles on it for the next owner. The damn AC…

Rear brakes really aren’t that essential. Most vehicles I’ve driven with rear brakes pinched off stop just as good as you’d expect with both rears. Just don’t go racing around town in your $500 beater and call it a day.

Does it not speak for itself?!

If only you could also reach the bumper...

~2 million EVs were built last year, worldwide.

This is a shitpost right? Is shitposting allowed on the front page?

Doing what they’re doing is a far more complicated policy decision than you’re identifying - with plenty of complications and problems that make 2035 an aggressive deadline. Just a few of them:

The windshield has to be the right amount of wet. If I sense any amount of dry wiper on dry windshield friction, it drives me nuts. 

The two main reasons are A: General disagreements that prevent us from having a global agreement on just about anything.

As somebody who is a biker in New York City, a big fan of your articles, and by all measures the target demographic of this piece...I don’t know if this is it. The mayor’s failure to expend any energy in the direction of bike safety has been infuriating, but I don’t find it particularly useful to pretend that the…
