So much for getting actual actionable/sensible advice from the Jalopnik staff...

Why did they drop the AWD + Hemi option from Challenger/Charger/300?

So Steel magnolias should have more significant male roles in it?

NAFTA should be reviewed and revised. Canada agrees with that. And it is under impetus of trump that it will be. That’s a good thing.

125000 miles on a highly tuned hand-built engine that costs 50000 to replace is not reasonable for 29000

Chryco 5.7 hemis its recommended that you use mid grade - the manual says premium delivers no benefit and that regular delivers less fuel economy to the point that it more than offsets the difference in cost per gallon.

Garbage political drive-by by the author.

It’s always been hot in phx

Assuming headlights have an auto-on function - their control is best as a knob on dash board. Wiper controls are best on a stalk. Having them separate greatly reduces the complexity- and therefore confusion when they are combined on one stalk.

Well not surprisingly the author uses the event to do a drive-by on trump. There is no evidence of any collusion with the russians - even the dems, who never even brought it up in the Comey hearing agree with that.

Far too late to market (18 months past the promised launch date). Dealers very thin on the ground in many areas - five in all of Canada last I looked. And anemic advertising.

Transport regulation is a federal jurisdiction. So you are incorrect.

“... a bit of a hoarder.”

Fully autonomous doesn’t mean one can’t drive an old car manually.

Garmin et al are in the process of mapping every road of any description down a sux by six square. Big data is coming to the rescue sooner than you think.

All of us use are cars for life than just personal transport. Right now mine holds my golf clubs, a jar of Tylenol, napkins, first aid kit, my laptop bag with laptop and papers inside, a case of bottles water, breath mints, loose change, phone charger. I’m not packing all of these things from one car to another.

They have solved rain. Snow I’m not sure about...

“Given how much vehicles cost and how long they last – more than 20 percent of cars on the road today were produced before 20002 – vehicles equipped with Level 5 systems will likely not be a majority of the fleet for three more decades”

I think he greatly underestimates the attractiveness of autonomous cars once they become available and affordable.

Battery storage is a dead-end. The grid cannot support more than 10% of the fleet being battery ‘powered’
