I guess if the time you spend driving back and forth to pick up the rental and drop it off is not worth anything to you, then renting is a good solution. But many people are ducking out to Home Depot while the kid is at soccer practice, dropping stuff off at home, then hurrying back to the field to pick kid up.…

Well you can quote the legal definition if you want but there are plenty of engineers who do great work even if they aren’t Engineers.

Yeah but most buyers don’t choose an Odyssey because they loved looking at it or being seen in it - it’s not necessarily ugly, but function comes first. Those choosing an Escalade (which I personally think is an unattractive vehicle) are choosing form first (generally), with perhaps a need for many seats and/or…

I think you are onto something, why not a Tesla 3-based El Camino....?

Not a pickup but nobody mentioned Seres (formerly SF Motors)

Cmon, clearly it’s spelled Fyundai.

Your headline sounds like it was written by a fucking teenager.  Grow up (I’ll say “ok boomer” to myself to spare you the effort)

...and I’m still in the greys...

No worries, keep asking. The fear of crashing (really injury) makes me more conservative in bike versus car (and I own a decent car), but the bike is just feels like even more freedom than a car. I recently completed 18-day 6000 mile US tour and I guarantee I would not have enjoyed it as much in a car.  “One with…

Try it, you’ll see - nothing beats a twisty road sitting in a convertible....until you ride that road on a bike.

Non linear scale that ends just above typical racetrack speeds, but still achievable (BAR F1 car exceeded Warp 9 in a top speed attempt IIRC). My personal top speed (non airplane) is around Warp 6.8, which feels right.

Pretty sure your anecdote has no value in determining the quality of immigrant drivers....I avoided a t-bone (thanks to a left-centre-right check as you approach intersection) in New Hampshire when a pickup truck driven by a “typical American” blew a red light at about 30 mph (multi lane road, all other lanes stopped…

Oh that engine bay is a hot mess by today’s standards....

I was doing 220km/h on a rented BMW motorcycle and was passed by a McLaren - that was pretty awesome to hear whiz by maybe at 250-260!

I’m not a fan of your level...but I loved that show, and can’t believe it too so long for me to notice that Air light!

So...anybody know what the “Air” warning light on KITTS dash is about?

Does your mom know you are using her computer? Glad to you know you are here to add such value with your comments!

Wow! How’s your prostitution and drug problem going out west?

Uh, Ontario auto workers are in a union too!

In all fairness though, I trust that every car I drive will work the way I expect it to (ie “as described”). I don’t run a full shakedown test of cruise control, headlamps, indicators etc. It’s a fair assumption by Joe Q Public that any vehicle allowed on our roads will work as intended. (Kind of like people assume…
