Remember when Montana went to Reasonable and Prudent and had to go back from it because people went “oh you mean a speed that far outstrips my actual driving ability?”

“Luckily, this time Tesla had a loyal employee who wasn’t swayed by greed and who did the right thing.”

Oh yeah, it’s amazing. It’s just jarring when you’ve not been paying attention for a while. 12 gear cassettes just seem insanely wrong, you know?

My mind is blown. I guess a single derailleur simplifies things.

Dude recommended Surly down thread. I’m just about 20 years not current, and I’m not researching because I don’t need another bike.

Downside? There’s a chance it’ll come with enough forgotten GatorMeth for you to recoup the entire purchase price!

People love my Veloster N performance. In fact out of 20 something cars I have owned my Veloster N and my 2014 Miata got the most attention. The CTR is over styled. It's possible to be subtle and still stand out. Honda failed miserably because it seems only hardcore Honda fan boys are the only ones who like it. That…

No one rolls their eyes at my GTI.

Needs one more option: Boy Racer Delete Kit; -$1,395

The Sony DriveThem is the fleet version; the consumer version will be Sony DriveThey.

As far as actually buying one, the Elantra GT N-lines were rare as hen’s teeth on dealer lots. I did an inventory search last year, and there were none anywhere near close to me in stock. I had to expand the search to a 250 mile radius and there were only two in stock in that large search area.

I had a 1981 Prelude with that much power and weight. It was not a firecracker.

All the best designs are from the 1980s. We should reïntroduce these graphs. Here’s a mockup of a depreciation graph for a Chevrolet:

One of the best ways to prevent deaths from accidents is to prevent the accident in the first place. This is solved with education. Make it MUCH more difficult to obtain a driver license, or make it a tiered system (as to not negatively affect the lower income brackets) where a beginner permit allows you to use…

Sony Driveman. You heard it here first.

My wife would kill me if I told her I’m going to trade my 2020 VN I just got a few months ago cause the new one has cooler seats. The safety feature thing would be the only reason for not getting a newer version.  Auto-braking is stupid.

It’s a nice price as long as you view it like a membership at an exclusive country club. That is, the $5000 is your initiative fee and you will be billed on a regular basis after that.

Id probably not care for the lane keep assist and driver aids, but the blind spot monitors on the mirrors would be nice. Other than that though, i live in Austin so no heated steering wheel (Canadian models have it) and seats needed. It really does have only what i need.

I drove manuals in hours long traffic on the 405 in LA. It’s shitty, but it’s shitty in anything. It wasn’t enough to make me want to quit the clutch.

gas portion of the hybrid drivetrain is a 2-litre Atkinson-cycle four-pot
