The gravel makes it easier. Try it in the snow, much easier. Dry pavement, you really have to commit. The biggest problem is that most modern cars have a stability program that makes those moves impossible or much harder to do. Maybe it got disabled for the commercial, don’t know. Anyway, good ad.

I knew that methane breaks down quickly but damn I thought it was faster than 9 years. 

Will it be grounded like a camry ?

How the hell does an oil cap cost $25 ?

Considering the first Porsche was electric, in 1898, I guess they have 120 years of electric car making.

Almost every EV driver I have talked to does most of their charging at home and they have a second ICE car for longer trips. And they say that the EV gets most of the daily use and the ICE car is a backup.

There goes the ski season.

Uh - huh.  Let me know in 6 years of real world driving how reliable it is.  The problem with most high end cars is that they are designed for people to lease for 5 years.

This would be great for suburban families who can afford a second and/or electric car. It would get 75% of the driving.

I think it was on ‘Supersize Me’ they showed how that meal, with the little styrofoam coffee cup sized coke, was the regular or standard meal back in the day. 

Yup, thats what I meant too(i just added in the keyless start story). And it is a little nutty on such an expensive car. People would be tugging on the door handles wondering why I didn’t open the doors after I had got into the car. Only after I started to reach over to the passenger door to unlock it did they realize…

Good gas stations have the extra long hoses so you can insert the nozzle on the opposite side of the car, if necessary.  Instead of doing the fancy back up manoeuvre to access the pump.

I used to work at a tool rental company and we were constantly cleaning dirty, greasy, oily construction equipment.  We had all sorts of nasty chemical cleaners that we were exposed to all day long.  We tried using a big spray bottle with a dish soap water mix and it worked for 90% of the cleaning.  It was a lot more…

A cheapish hybrid sedan built by Toyota ? This thing screams uber/lyft/taxi.

Just last night a friend of mine gave me a lift home and he says that keyless start feature on his car is a needless complication with no benefit.  Anyway, if you really want that car or get a great deal on it, I would say don’t let the lack of those features stop you.  I mean those stupid electronic parking brakes,…

Yessenia Funes just put the climate fight back 5 years. 

Just two years ago I got my first car with power windows, locks, and keyless entry. I can’t say that I don’t know how I lived before without it.  Although a $35k car without the frippery is kind of high.

Is this a small indicator of a coming recession ?  People unwilling to go into big debt to buy what is essentially a toy.

And like all good cars it has fold down rear seats. 

Unless you live at the gym, have a naturally bulky body type, are a man or do drugs you will not get bulky.
