That takes the average person 20 minutes.

Normalize Reverse in parking. Any time backing into a stall is possible you should be backing into a stall.

In one test scenario that involved vehicles backing into the path of an oncoming car, AAA found that the reverse AEB system only prevented one in 40 crashes....Despite that catastrophic success rate, vehicles still braked in 65 percent of the scenarios.

I’ve seen similar scare-mongering Facebook posts for a Chevy Volt battery quote from a dealer. It was obviously a “we don’t want your business quote” since I was able to google a full replacement for 1/3 the price.

Its a dealership thing,... I’ve seen plenty of situations where a dealership will tell you that you need a new 5 figure engine whereas an independent shop would offer you the option to rebuilt it for a fraction of the cost.

I always thought the engineering on those sorts of cupholders was a slap at users who wanted to have a beverage handy, when the designers knew better. The operator should only be driving the car, so anything as pedestrian as holding cups did not deserve any better.

Almost none of these will have running costs as cheap as a Versa (which also has a warranty), and just imagine trying to finance a 17 year old Merc with a poor credit score—immediately terrible idea. People who buy cheap cars buy them to get around reliably, they’re not looking for a screaming deal on an exhilarating…

Are you blind? The smooth, elegant curves and lack of busy addenda and awkward panel gaps as on the plastic-fantastic-era CERV III is what I was referring to. So many automakers aren’t trying to recreate late-60s styling cues because their time has passed. The Mustang, Camaro, Charger, Challenger, Continental, Bronco,…

It’s kind of ugly, that’s why.

LED headlight conversion kits that are advertised as “quick and easy” while still utilizing stock halogen assemblies and reflectors. They might look brighter initially, but your beam pattern just became as unfocused as a 35-year old data analyst with undiagnosed ADHD.

This one is easy. Cold air intakes on street vehicles. It has been proven by engineers and mechanics multiple times that they only provide a power increase at very high RPM’s and do nothing for normal daily driving. But science and facts won’t stop the bolt on crowd clowns.

No, at least not what I consider reliable. My former 2001 Tundra only ever needed routine/preventive maintenance over the 18 years I drove it. My 2017 F-150 3.5L ecoboost has needed 2 sets of cam phasers in 5.5 years of ownership, and I suspect it had another set done before I bought it used with 12k miles. Lots of…

Why does that make stalking them OK? OK, they’re not ordinary working-class people, but are you claiming that they’re not human beings?

There is no capacity change. I would say the title of this article is misleading, but it’s more so just unequivocally false, and can be disproven with 30 seconds of research. 

You don’t want these seats in your car, trust me. But one issue that modern car seats have airbags built in. There’s nowhere to put an airbag in a seat this thin.

Once he went past publicly available information and into amateur radio enthusiasts to track her plane, he went into Stalker Land. The kid needs to learn what’s reasonable.

She had a guy break into her house to wait for her to come back. Thankfully she wasn’t there.

Having something like this might let somebody like that know in advance. Feels like there is some level of standing?

This is a wonderful demonstration of our society today.

I watched Hoovies video on the Rivian R1T and he spent the first 10 minutes licking Tesla and the Cybertruck. A full commercial for ordering and praising the ease of working with Tesla? (He has ordered 2 and slapping himself on the back for being “Lucky” to get a low order number.)

Remember when Cammisa spent 30 minutes praising the engineering and ingenuity of the Cybertruck on YouTube? I was almost convinced that this... this thing could be actually good. Now I’ve lost quite a bit of respect for the guy, as not long after that video was posted, underlying problems were brought to light in the…
