"The new Mercedes AMG GT was a real disappointment, the fondue cart ran out before they had time to explain that you could only take 1 slice of foie gras per journalist. Fucking shit car."

None of us are advocating taking the access away - we're just saying it's all on you if you break shit. Calm down, JoeMama! It seems like all of us have coded before (in this conversation) and we all know at least a bit of what we're talking about, and all we're saying is that you should have access to the insides,…

The guy with 10 time out dolls against his 1957 Chevy.

That selfie is great. It captured he and his girlfriend smiling to commemorate the moment and their fun Sunday together. If you look in the background, you can see it also captured the Jaguars' biggest crowd of the season.

Let me get this straight, some kind-hearted Jaguars fan went out of his way to make sure that this couple didn't have to spend a weekend in Jacksonville and somehow he's the bad guy?

You're all over the place.

No, I'm talking the automotive equivalent of improperly adjusting spark timing so that you burn out a piston. Which you could also do within the electronics of an ECU. They should not have to make their stuff idiot proof.

He's not just "learning about how his car works", he's given presentations at hacker conferences claiming that the Cherokee is among the most vulnerable cars out there and can be "hacked".

I didn't suggest that at all. I'm all for hacking your stuff!

Unfortunately, the car head unit he hacked most recently controls functions including the radio, heater, heated steering wheel and seats, rear camera, and sat-nav — leaving Miller with a vehicle best described as "downright primitive."

Tow truck operator's previous pick up.

I watched that GIF for much longer than I care to admit, waiting for him to solve it.

My idea is a real-life automotive forum flame-war.

That was called junkyard wars. It was good.

While there might not be a lot of people who bought a Tesla to save on gas, there might be some people who looked at the total COO versus something like a new 3 series and thought "what the hell, I won't be buying gas." I spend roughly $200/month on gas. That might be the difference in car payment between a $60000 car…

Yeah, fuckers, this is an athlete here, not some random person whose misfortune you can mock.

I can't believe Bernier had no clue who Nelson Mandela was. At this point, who hasn't seen Shawshank or The Dark Knight?
