“Cars can be exciting and fun and interesting” but driving, increasingly, just isn’t. Half-awake idiots, cell phones, bombed-out roads, bumper-to-bumper traffic. What the hell am I going to do with a “fun” car?

Door slammers.
Every car I’ve encountered that was manufactured within the last 20 years has doors that close with the shove of a single fingertip. Why do you think you need to wind up your entire upper body and hurl my door closed as if it’s an old farm truck with a bent frame?

I still miss my ‘87. Such a simple, honest, fun car. Manual everything.
Wheels were Prelude Si take-offs.

At a basic level it looks a lot like Sandglaz.com, which shut down in March after trying to make a viable business for six years. Sunsama has some interesting integrations, though. Tempting.

Sorry. Re-reading your comment now, I see what you meant. Well, I hope the “auto-next-episode” setting tip helps someone, but I guess I have no tip for you.

You can turn that off. Log into Netflix on your PC and look into your settings.

Google Voice is many things but it is NOT reliable. In the last two weeks I’ve missed SMS messages and phone calls from prospective employers, leading directly to lost opportunities.

Kaniela is a “he.”

That line is unforgivably fucked up. It leads right into the barricade. Yes, ideally, safety systems should detect the crash barrier. But a driver in thick fog, for instance, could easily follow that left line and not see that he was being guided straight into a barrier until too late.

What is this, the third article about this pointless “project”?

Serious question: what do you have against the early-to-mid-2000 Passat?

That’s a claim made by the brother which has yet to be substantiated.

RTFA. It’s explained to be a non-functional design choice.

Ahh, the original Forester looks so clean and refreshing after looking at the bloated, janky new one. This larded up asswagon is so ungainly it looks like a bad Photoshop mashup of two or three different vehicles. It doesn’t even *have* a beltline. The analogy of the overworked, out of shape old “friend from college”…

Holy shit indeed - the 2CV was almost entirely pancaked within it’s own length. There was hardly anything left to impact the Fiesta in front of it. It’s a pup tent with a motor.

Apex seal = sex appeal. Cosmo! Even the name fits. 

I used to frequent McD’s when I just needed a quick meal and wasn’t concerned about artisanal quality. Since their processes have changed, they don’t even offer a quick meal anymore, so I’m off to Jimmy John’s.

Hardy could have used that southern drawl for kicks during filming, knowing that he could re-dub and change his dialog in any way needed during post.
