This jumped off the page for me too as soon as I saw the picture. Most adults are sleeping with their knees up if that’s actually how the bed is laid out.

Meanwhile, Waymo champions their success in Phoenix, where even the interstates are a grid system.

That was even in the Southwest, a kind of best-case situation for autonomous car development in terms of both weather and clean, car-friendly infrastructure.

Some guy who was a JANITOR AT A PRIMARY SCHOOL had:

100% agree. Even though NASCAR’s own Drive for Diversity program gave us Wallace, Larson, and Suarez, the knee-jerk reaction here is that a program ran by an actual race team is more practical and would yield better results, let alone one attached to Wallace and all the branding power 23XI already has through him,…

Indeed, I assumed you meant a literal cost, which has never been a problem to him.

I’d say it’s more  the sunk cost to his (and the company’s) ego. The Lighting is going to crush the Cybertruck in a way that none of his models have been before. He’s probably getting the public ready for that by saying “oh well it might be a flop because it’s actually too inventive.”

Alanis King used to always be on this crusade against car shows that consist of three middle aged white dudes doing whatever. I think everyone who is left after the Spanfeller exodus carries the torch just because.

I bet you could but relative to the 7 and the 5, the Gen6 didn’t have a strong response either way because it was so similar the final iteration of the Gen5. Whereas you will *still* find people talking about how awful the original Car Of Tomorrow was. Not only that, but 2014 was also the inception of the playoff…

That would be a funny thing to have on a resume:

No shit? Everyone on the forums tells you to avoid it like the plague. I’m guessing the issue is Ford tells you to remove a chunk of the dash to do it when you can get away with just dropping the glovebox. That would at least explain why my dealer has no interest in doing it. 

Ford listed the cabin air filter on S550 Mustang’s as a 30k mile service interval, despite clearly designing it in a way that no one in their right mind would replace it. Full dashboard tear-down for a goddam filter? NO THANKS, I’M GOOD

That quote was in reference the the Gen 5/COT right when it came out in ‘07.

It’s not just a short-throw shifter, it’s a full assembly replacement that makes it a trans-mount instead of a body-mount. I’ve driven one with the job done, and the slack reduction makes a huge difference, even if you aren’t trying to make a track ripper out of it. But to your point, a clutch spring replacement is…

This obviously isn’t a *huge* deal, but if you go to Volvo’s website, it sure seems like they are making the pure gas versions of their lineup seem like the alternative, not the other way around. Brand-wide, they certainly seemed like they are closest to having an entire product line that is not pure-combustion based,…

I think the key is it’s got the same thing going as the Wrangler where it is somehow a niche vehicle that also spreads a wide net with the cheap versions, stanced brodozers, and actual hardcore off-road builds.

Ugh, I hate crap like this. Immersion is absolutely on the checklist for a good career mode, but this insane. I think it’s less of a idealized version of Drive to Survive, and more just a rip of the EA games fetishizing the player’s self importance in career modes. I watched someone playthrough the opening of a recent…

Hell yes. I was never a Mustang guy, but I bought one because I didn’t need a truck anymore, it was the best looking and most practical of the big 3, and low mile Chevy SS’s hadn’t lost any value (!) by 2018 (!!!) .

Neutral: I bought an aftermarket shifter for my Mustang (fingers crossed for compensation in the MT-82 class-action suit) but I’m not installing it yet because I’m moving shortly and that would just be one-too-many things going on at the moment.

There’s always the alternative...
