That wiper, yeesh. We’re heading into rainy season where I live, I can’t wait to see the Gigawiper in action.

I still think about and miss Consumerist, which was long ago the best of the Gawker Media sites and was bought by CR.

Huh? Cars can move with deflated tires. A shot tire doesn’t deflate instantly. Bullets can ricochet. People don’t have perfect aim. The situation wasn’t an immediate case of life or death.

I doubt that he “failed to spot” but more likely ignored. Like all these idiots that see a height restriction yet continue forward taking out their bridges and trailers.

If the American OEMs don’t disrupt themselves and stop depending on a premiumization strategy with high margins, then BYD or Tata or similar will be doing the disruption.

Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks

GoFundMe would be a very viable option for this family. I’d donate.

Not that able-bodied people don’t also deserve to not be ripped off, it’s especially scummy to do this to people that need these vehicles.  Worst of the worst.

I had a 2012 XC60 with the I6turbo that started to eat oil like crazy at around 50k miles so we traded it on an XC90 with the I4 turbo (not the complicated turbo+supercharger). Other than an initial service / recall that replaced all the spark plugs at <1000 miles, it has been completely reliable for ~6 yrs. 🤞

This is far too small to take a kid to soccer practice. You’ll want an Expedition for that. These are for getting your mountain bike to the smooth gravel parking lot near your favorite park. 

Back when I was a boy, this country was filled with assholes. You couldn’t take a step down the street without bumping in to an asshole. You’d enter a room and say “Hey, asshole!” and everyone’s head would turn!

Based on your math, no there isn’t room.

I sure hope they can remove Elon from Tesla. Please fire him. 

When I was in the Navy one of my side duties was picking up new kids at the airport, giving them a tour of the base and surrounding areas, showing them their barracks room, and warning them against the more predatory businesses in the area.

You are cynical, and they spent HOURS in boot camp at Great Lakes, and further time at my technical school, pretty specifically trying to keep us from making bum deals for cars.  Not to mention, you can get in serious trouble for screwing up your finances in the military.  Very few sign up for a second term because…

Unfortunately, spoon fed is what they want. I work as a cashier at a W store and all fucking day I have to listen to the Trumpers bawl on and on about how Biden is responsible for high grocery prices. If only they knew the truth they would glaze over, being unable to comprehend the reality. The unholy alliances…

“In fact, the automaker loses more than $32,000 on every car that rolls off the production line in Normal, Illinois, as Automotive News reports:”

I had no idea so many people here were pro-DUI.

No. He’s a journalist. Take any subject matter and walla, he’s suddenly an expert, without knowing the most rudimentary facts.

The name of the sportscaster in the CarShield commercials is Chris “Boomer” Berman of ESPN fame, not Chris Brown.
