I can’t say for anything other than mine (2010 Sienna), but it has a small faux-console between the front seats that folds down if you want it to.  So that one does allow for Mom Terror.

Ford stopped making tractors in the 1950s

The new systems literally will NOT recognize components, unless a John Deere Representative comes out and runs their recognition USB key to unlock the tractor.

This would be like if you needed to change the brakes on your car and could only go to the dealership, because the moment you removed the wheel, the engine

I think the problem isn’t just ‘needing a computer’. If I remember right, it’s like dealer only diagnostic tools with cars. It’s that it has to be a Deere authorized mechanic with a proprietary set of hardware that they won’t sell you, and you can’t just use any old laptop.

Yeah, here’s a quote from one of the earlier

It started happening on Hondas as soon as they put in dash displays that were always lit. In town, where there are streetlamps, the difference in brightness between the DRLs and the low beams isn’t super obvious.

Can the IIHS tackle DRL LEDs that are so bright the driver thinks their headlights are on even when they’re not? I run into this all the time now, because dashboards are always lit, even with the headlights off, and DRLs are so bright the owners think their lights are on. I’ve been stuck behind someone without their

Neutral: “Hey India, what’s going on?”

It’s not about pollution or CO2. It’s about control. It’s about stomping out any manufacturer that manages to produce affordable vehicles for the masses in spite of an ever tightening noose of regulation to stop them.

Now playing

It’s only a short film, but here’s Richard Madden (Robb Stark in GoT) playing a fictional Group B rally driver.

A movie about early 2000s rally racing or group b rally racing needs to happen! 

So touching. I wonder if situations would ever be safe enough, for hitchhiking to proliferate again. let’s say in 50 years when cars are automated with internal cameras and safety systems. When you think about it, we’re hopping in someone else’s car everytime we hop in a taxi or uber/lyft

When I don’t use my blinkers in a BMW, I’m an asshole, but not using them in my Tesla is just a sensible range extension strategy.

Once the Koreans figure out a pickup truck and a GTR killer, it’s game over for Nissan.

1st gear. This is what happens when you rest on your laurels. If you make products just good enough, then why would someone buy them? I would buy a comparable Korean car 100 times over anything Nissan is selling right now.

Thanks for the rec - my wife’s a big fan of spaetzle so we’ll have to check that out. If you return, I highly recommend the Samara Treehouse Inn. One of my favorite vacation experiences ever. 

I’ve gone to Costa Rica twice, driving from San Jose to Arenal and Monte Verde, then down to the coast at Samara. Both times in a Jimny - the first time in a two door, the second in a four door (because we were travelling with friends). The roads down from the mountains to the coast are insane, but the Jimny was a

2006 Maxima is what i think

‘04-’08 Maxima. Inset trunk, slightly buttressed rear window, 7 spoke wheels, headlights shaped to the front wheel arch, no chrome strip over the tag

Just look up the Fulda Gap; it would've been a literal superhighway for Soviet armor columns straight into Europe. When you're facing tens of thousands of Soviet tanks backed up by a literal fuckton of mechanized infantry, artillery and CAS, nuclear weapons are your best bet at evening the odds.
