This feature is a great idea. I used to drive a lot of back roads at night, and had to turn down the interior lights because it allowed me to see deer earlier. Having the ability to turn all that crap off would have saved me a lot of...puckering.

Saab were too good for this world:
- Where practically all other brands insisted on putting the ignition switch in the same wrong place, they put it somewhere okay (though obsolete today with keyless systems and start buttons)
- A button that has gotten just more and more in demand for every year since Saab’s passing,…

My 2005 Saab does this. In fact there is an elaborate set of conditions dictating wiper function—if I recall correctly, if you’re going at high speed it will wait a different amount of time for the extra wipe, and if you’re at low speed it will put the ventilation briefly on recirculate or something to keep the smell…

saab!

The auto on/off in a Tesla. Grab the door handle from the outside and it unlocks and turns on. More impressive is the shutdown procedure. Just lift off the accelerator until the vehicle stops itself, then unbuckle and open the door and leave. It automatically shifts into park, turns off, and locks the door behind you!…

This weird looking lever that makes driving funner

Thank you for not screenshotting the contributions this time!

Jeremy Clarkson ruined the Crossfire for me when he described its roofline as having the same curve as a dog’s arched back as it takes a shit. Can’t unsee that now.

A slideshow? Really m8? 

Is F1 like the Olympics? Where the host country and the sanctioning body all pretend that this will result in some economic benefit when in reality costs will outstrip revenue and whatever cash is brought in will be distributed in a wildly unequal fashion? Hell, does any sport that demands subsidies from local…

As much as I like having an F1 race in Canada, fuck this. I have a sinking feeling Quebec will end up paying them something because much like the FIA it is famously corrupt, but I hope they don’t. The last company that needs any government stimulus is F1. 

It continues to look like a Jetta with an H in the front...but worse somehow. 

They managed to make it as ugly as it is unremarkable.

Did they staple the minivan front end on it?

I don’t know anything about bikes, should be allowed nowhere near them. These super bikes, I assume they get ridden? 30k is a lot more affordable than 1mil+ so a regular person can get one and they don’t have to collect dust in some sheik’s garage. Would this thing be awful to daily or use on the street in general?

I have long been on a crusade to deter people from buying VW, mostly because I have made the mistake of buying VW and have known too many people who have made the same mistake.

And something called a 1999 VW Eurovan is going to be a maintenance nightmare

22 year old VAG car with 212K miles. What could possibly go wromg?

Prices on these things are ridiculous. I mean, completely bonkers, I’m seeing eBay prices on older ones that went for more.

Except something called a “1999 Windstar” probably returned to the earth 10 years ago.
