I’m dreading opening my Christmas present from my in-laws this year. They’re great, but last year I got a toothbrush(I use an electric toothbrush), toothpaste(travel size), store brand body wash, $3 Walmart slippers(I also got a pair of Ugg slippers and Bearpaw slippers from others), a cheap multitool that feels like…

I understand your criticism, but that’s Audi’s language, not journalists. I think that’s just what they’re calling all of the communication between the vehicle and infrastructure, no matter which way the information is going.

Sounds like it to me.

Doesn’t matter if you strip it all out for a track car!

It does open, it’s just a very small trunk compared to the huge hatchback the normal Corvettes had.

See, they had a guy who was doing windshield repair for 17 years. Then when he left, he trained another guy who did it for 11 years. Then, when he left, he trained the guy that did your windshield, and he’s been doing this for almost 2 years. So it’s like this guy has 30 years of experience, except since he works at…

No, it makes it awesome. Now I must go buy one.

I would typically agree with you, but odds are the guy wouldn’t leave his phone lying on the ground in this situation. It’s ok to antagonize with a huge head start.

My dream car was the C6 Z06. Then I drove one and loved it, but was really nervous driving it around. Since then I got to put some significant miles on another, and I’ve driven all manner of C6 Corvettes, including Grand Sports and a ZR1. I didn’t want to buy one when I lived in a place that has winter and it wouldn’t…

What if you’re in Allentown and the offending car has its windshield covered in ice? What if you’re in Ft. Lauderdale and the windshield is covered in meth addicts?

I dunno, even my stepmom, who is about as far removed from anything automotive as possible, knew there were Toyota hybrids racing in Le Mans. She probably doesn’t really understand what Le Mans is and definitely has no clue what WEC is, but there’s some connection there. Maybe she thought Toyota was racing Priuses,…

The road I live on is named both a lane and an avenue. I think both definitions fit, although the parallel roads are not called streets.

Depends on the car. Some spin high in fifth, so 6th is almost necessary when cruising above 40 mph. If we could get some more spaced out gear ratios, that would certainly help things.

My favorite part is that everything I don’t need right away I put on the 5-7 day shipping and usually get $1 towards digital content. Every now and then I’ll stream a movie that you have to pay for, but it’s always been free because I have enough credit built up.

That makes me feel like I should teach my wife to drive stick.

I’ve commuted with stick, auto, and Prius. In my opinion, commuting with stick is far and away the best option of those. Even in LA traffic.

Tomorrow night at 7, where’s the party?

Is that the engine from the Juke? Same power rating, same size, and the engine bay looks very similar. I don’t see any mention of direct injection like the Juke, though.

I have a 2002 S10 that I inherited from family. It was used every winter in Pennsylvania and hardly ever washed, and the frame only has some light surface rust at this point. I agree that washing is part of maintenance, but even with limited care they should hold up much longer than they do.

I’ve seen this on trucks sold and used in southern California. The frame on my 2002 S10 looks fine despite being used as a winter beater for years in Pennsylvania. Not rust-free, but no structural rust. I’ve seen similar-year Tacomas where the frame has holes rusted through and is crumbling.
