Anybody remember these?

I think all car controls should be in the center column. I don’t think it’s weird, but whatever.

This is a proper Jalop answer!

That’s true, weight is up by 50%, but HP is up by 150%.  I feel it is another aspect of the way cars have developed over the generations.

I kind of feel weird about saying this, like the kid who asks if there is any homework at the end of the class. But I am reading this on a desktop with an ultrawide monitor, so the phone trick isn’t relevant here. But I REALLY appreciate that this was NOT a slideshow. Thank you.

I have a large soft spot for the first gen Olds Toronado, and the ‘67-’70 Eldorado, but they’re fwd, so how about a ‘66-’67 Buick Riviera?

1st/2nd:

Cell phone service is all about the network. if you go with a company with a shitty network, you get shitty signal.

EVs are the same except it is about the charging infrastructure. as of now, Tesla is the only EV with even reasonably ubiquitous charging infrastructure, and even that is only major highways and…
