If its a relatively modern Wrangler the rocker switch on the back right should be volume, the rocker on the back left should be change channel/skip track. I forget what the nubbins in the middle do? I think left nubbin cycles between AM/FM/XM? Not sure about the right. I should really check after work.

Attaching with adhesives will be the downfall. This needs to be secured mechanically and rigidly. Whats going to happen with adhesives is someone in Arizona in the summer will come out to their car and find the thing dangling down by its cord or will go to touch it and have it fall off. Or someone in North Dakota in

Heres the thing, you’ll never EVER eliminate the bias court has against a defendant. You could go into court and have an attorney by your side and say everything for you and get results A. You could then rewind time go into court alone and say all the same things the attorney said and get results B. Feelings still

Given that we’re talking about physics here, some core calculations will always remain the same no matter how much you rework it. For friction, f_s=u_s*N is always going to be the same. What theyre telling me is that while the core physics equations are the same they’re getting the numbers to use. So instead of

I just spent a week with a friend who has a Tesla Model 3. He mad it seem (and what I saw as we went places) like if he didnt stop at a Tesla supercharging station, he would only gain a few % of battery life an hour as opposed to roughly 2% per minute. Like the “normal” chargers you encounter out and about that arent

This brings up a great point. I had no idea what a CT5 looked like. Had you told me to picture one, I cant say that I had seen one to know. I was just looking at the above pictures and realized if you photoshopped out the grill, just filled it in with white...I would have thought it was a new Maxima or Altima. 

If youre just looking for a mall crawler, the newest Jeep is always the best Jeep so this isnt for you. If youre looking to offroad, something fully depreciated and worn is what youre looking for. Who is this for?

This. Why do all of these electric, hybrid, and efficient cars have to be ugly? I’m not saying make the Camry look sporty, Toyota tried and failed miserably, rather, make an affordable car attractive if you want people to buy into that tech. Otherwise only the pious will buy it. “Look at me, I care about the

Obviously someone pulling a scam is at fault, but blame also falls on the person being scammed for just how much they get scammed for. If you’re a shop and you bring up additional upsells, there needs to be documentation of call time/date of approvals. If its over, say, $5,000, the customer should need to come in and

I also worry there will have to be some reprogramming or something. Happened on my IS300, I replaced the door glass just to find out that the car somehow knew the glass went missing at some point and that it wouldnt work until it was taken apart by the dealer and reclocked or whatever. It was so dumb. Sounds like a

My year started out with suck. On the last night of vacation (New Years day evening) my car was broken into in a hotel parking lot in Nashville. It was a 35ish degree rainy day which ruined the last day of my parents vacation down to see me. I got some “clear” (it was basically opaque) plastic to tape over the window

I’m perplexed why the cat is so low on these? Most engines these days seem to have a catifold where the cat is built right into the exhaust manifold. I know on my Jeep Compass the cat is in the engine bay completely up and inaccessible to someone looking to loot it. I’d think they would have done this on the new Prius

Um, I’ve never driven a Prius or any car with a shifter like it. Do any other cars have a shifter like it? 

Thats sort of exactly my point. Manufacturers are going out of their way to change something that didnt really need changing just because “the future” or whatever. 

Them feels. 

The standard layout for automatic shifters since like, the 1950s?

Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Low

The Tokyo Extreme Racer series is due for a reboot but preferably with more realistic physics. Like if they could borrow Polyphonys physics engine but have the TXR gameplay. Include the drift spinoff as well to make an all inclusive game. 

I see it still has the stupid Prius shifter. Whats wrong with the old trusty PRNDL? Whats B? Why hit a separate button just to put it into park?

If deadly force is only supposed to be used when your life is in jeopardy...how is it ever acceptable for the robot to use deadly force when its operators life can’t be in jeopardy because its been removed from the immediate situation by use of the robot?
