No way an autonomous car ‘assumes’ drivers will do anything rational. The autonomous car would have sensed something coming into it’s lane and taken preventative measures to avoid a collision, most likely by slamming on the brakes. It probably wouldn’t divert from it’s original path to avoid the accident because it…

So glad you read my response and that was all you got from it. Honestly, sometimes I rely on FB to get an idea of what the general populace things of certain topics. I have friends that lean both ways on the political spectrum, plus a lot of car friends and friends that couldn’t give two shits about cars. And I know…

What this article and basically every article about every autonomous vehicle crash fails to emphasize is that the AV was 100% not at fault. The human driver caused the crash and the outcome would have been the same or worse if they hit another car piloted by a human. At least the author acknowledges that this incident…

Welp, guess I’ll find another state to snowboard in. It’s bad enough trying to find beer with more than 3% alcohol there, the rules are ridiculous.

We had a lot of manual guys in our jeep club doing some crazy hard trails. But I would never give up my auto for crawling.

It also ‘moves’ the least, so it’s still in the sandwich when you go to eat it, instead of all over the inside of the baggie.

Yep, speed limit on base is 25mph and I’d drive around in 3rd to make sure I didn’t speed too much. Put it in 4th and the car wanted to go 40 or so.

A peanut butter and nutella sandwich is not only insanely delicious, but also serves as a great snack/energy boost when cycling.

Years ago in my hometown, a local kid carrying 4 passengers was driving like an asshat, lost control and drove straight into a tree at like 80mph, killing himself and 2-3 others. A roadside memorial immediately started with little tokens and such being left, including things like a high school t-shirt being nailed to…

Wait, those are roadside memorials for car accident deaths?? Holy shit, they were EVERYWHERE in Greece. I bet we saw a thousand of them just driving from Athens to Meteora.

A coworker of mine has a newer Forester and I’ve ridden in it a few times. The interior reminds me of the main reason I got rid of my ‘12 WRX and haven’t looked back. It’s like an injection molding machine threw up in there, hard plastic everywhere. Everything is just so goddamn cheap looking and feeling with random…

Seems kinda sad the GTS is the best BMW can come up with to make a ‘track-ready’ M4. The spoiler looks terrible, just like the last GTS. The meth/water injection is cool, but you could do the same thing for like $500 to any car (I’ve had a meth injection system on both of my Mustangs). It still has 20s on it for…

Because it’s a lot of old guys that naturally get up at 4:30am. But I agree, I’m maybe 20 minutes away from Katie’s Cars and Coffee and I’ve only been twice because I’m either sleeping (or maybe cycling) that early.

Good for you? Guess you should buy an overpriced Type-R then.

Somehow, I agree with this. But I don’t see that ever happening. And I still think it needs AWD or at least every available safety system/electronic feature that comes on the Golf R to justify that price.

I understand that FWD isn’t a turnoff for some people. A lot of my friends who once drove 600whp Cobras bought Focus ST’s for daily drivers because they were cheap and fun. If Ford had styled the ST up a bit more, gave it 300hp and priced it in the mid 30's (basically a FWD RS), I highly doubt any of those guys would…

Oh. Well that makes the gif a LOT less impressive.

I’ll agree with Arrivederci on this one. The Type R styling is a bit more over the top, so it’d be harder to justify to a 35 year old. Plus I think the price point is just too high for a FWD car. Everything else in that range has AWD and anything FWD sells for almost $10k less. And for me, the AWD isn’t about putting…

Maybe he just murders every camera man that catches him spinning out during a drift. Check out the last Grand Tour episode where they showed outtakes of the hosts spinning out cars on the track. Chris probably makes sure any footage of him looping a car gets deleted instantly and threatens the family members of all…
