The next bit, however, is confusing: The bus driver took 30 minutes to go three miles—a drive that normally takes six minutes, according to NBC. The district says the driver was going slower on the dirt road...

Wow, that’s terrible placement. If there was a QOTD for “Which Car Has The Worst Placement of Controls?”, this might win.

Do you consider Play Doh and mayo to be liquids?

Edit: meant to say Rim Width Range.

Excuse me: I meant to say Rim Width Range. In which case the factory-installed Model Y Performance tires are suitable for the largest wheels available - 21" x 9.5" front and 21" x 10.5" rear.

I believe the “Carolina Squat” is quickly becoming illegal already.

ANY aftermarket lighting that diminishes the performance of the original unit should be banned. This includes diminished performance due to glare, poor beam pattern (where bulb is not harmonized with the design of the housing and/or lens) or reduced visibility.

Related: ban fitment of tires that are mounted on wheels wider than the Measuring Rim Width of the tire.

For the umpteenth time, I will copy and paste the very first marketing point from Cybertruck website:

What’s worse - the occasional EV truck fire or a diesel semi that constantly spews toxic exhaust?

Unfortunately they took the worst part from that concept - the “beak” - and put it into production.

...oh my bad, you said “worst”. Anyway, please use this Mazda Vision Coupe Concept to refresh your visual pallet.

That monstrosity made it past far too many decision gates to get to the point of being built and photographed. Maybe they built it so they could have an example of what NOT to do!

You make a joke, but during crowded events I am happy when I see people hopping the curb to park their SUVs and trucks on the grass. Normally I see them tip-toeing over small bumps and avoiding curbs altogether.

I think the Sport Package cars came with summer tires, which were excellent and provided way more grip than the all-seasons on the base 330i. At the very least, the Sport tires were staggered (225/245). By themselves, the staggered tires and +1 wheel size really make a difference. The extra suspension tuning enhances

No, the E46 did not give BMW the Ultimate Driving Machine status. It sure lived up to the term but it was not the first. That term had been around for a long time before the E46, in the press and in BMW marketing materials.

I would argue the number of gas stations is driven by the profitable convenience stores attached to them, and not due to some rational number of gas pumps needed.

For as much as I surmise you spent on your X1 and the Campagnolo hardware, hopefully you keep it long enough to wait out any market changes with regard to shifting preference.

The battery lasts long enough and the charging time is short enough to almost be trivial. I suppose in a lot of cases the simplicity in build and assembly gained by having 2 less cables to route through the frame is attractive to builders. Even with wires you’d still need to charge or replace batteries.

Good news: nobody is forcing you.
