...And that's why they are such great values. Uninformed people assume that they are maintenance nightmares because of Jaguars reputation from the 80s and 90s, but in reality F-Types are actually pretty reliable and easy to earn on by European standards. My 2015 has been far less costly and difficult to work on than…

IIRC even Jeremy Clarkson told people to buy the six-cyllinder and got shit for it from his co-hosts.

I would.

That V8 S is, I think, incorrect. The S was a supercharged 6, only the R had 8. The reviews I read when it came out said the 380hp S was the sweet spot. 

Car and Driver did a long-term test on a 2014 V-8 F type. In 40,00 miles they found a glitchy infotainment system (that was fixed with a recall), those motorized pop-up air vents had issues, and a rear taillight cluster failed.

Uh huh. I’ve got a 2016 XF with that same ‘shit’ V-6 that returns 30+ mpg on the highway, doesn’t use a drop of oil, pushes a 3,800 lb car through the quarter in the low 13's, and is just as refined as the V-8 in my R129 Mercedes.

There’s one on a used car lot at a Subaru dealership near me right now. It has 996 miles on it and they’re asking - wait for it- $98,999 for it. Ah-hahahah...stop, I’m dying here!

I have run out snark due to the twice weekly Cybertruck fails. They get uglier every time I see one and the CyberCucks going "thank you sir, may I have another" has become boring. There are better  electric pickups and better $100,000 cars.

I’ll be interested to see how Tesla closes out its book for the year. When Elon was just a weirdo, I could see people not taking notice (per my own words, “nobody outside of car people can even tell you the CEO of Ford, let alone his views on politics”); now, post election, I’m wondering if this puts a real dent in…

The first one I saw was parked behind some shops. For all intents and purposes, it was a shiny dumpster.

What a fucking waste.

Basically Queensland is our Florida. Sydney is California and Melbourne is Portland, Oregon. Texas is Western Aus and Adelaide might as well be Detroit. Tasmania being Alaska and I have no idea for Nothern Territory.

Vision only is dangerous with self driving cars. Automotive Ai lacks the ability to make informed judgment calls when the vision gets blinded. Like when a car in the opposite lane sprays water at you, or a tarp blows across the road. Radar and Lidar at least can pick up an object and tell the car to ‘not hit that…

It’s a bad analogy that involves entirely different reasons for entirely different results.

Seizures are synchronized activity across populations of neurons that shouldn’t be synchronized. That synchronous activity perpetuates itself and propagates to other aspects of the neural circuit. In a small percentage of cases in certain people, they can be triggered by a sensory stimulus like a flashing light that…

Partially correct, you can modify your car here but within certain limitations. And we do, thankfully, have very strict laws around drinking and drugs and driving, with random testing. It is also mandatory for all vehicle occupants to wear seat belts. Safety!

Seems the difference is a human says “hmmm, those bright flashing lights are making it hard for me to see, I’ll slow down” and a Telsa says “No idea what that is, best not to worry about it”.

As a real researcher who studies real epilepsy, I’m going to ask you to not ever use these words to describe this sort of thing again. This is not how epilepsy or seizures work. At all. In addition, real people who have real epilepsy suffer real stigma regarding their medical condition, and this sort of thing only…

(In all seriousness, they think he may well have died in the landing. He jumped with a parachute that couldn’t be steered into the PNW woods at night)

When you try and be a “cool” dad only to have this guy and his god damn kids ruin your parade.
