Also yes, many GM cars of that vintage have TP sensor problems and they can be expensive to replace. I recommend the one that comes from PepBoys/AutoZone/etc that costs like $4. Not $4 per tire, $4.

OnStar has been “a thing” since 1996 and many other makes have copied it. I’ve no idea if your Colorado features it but since you could even get it in crapcans like Cavaliers it wouldn’t shock me at all. Look for a button on your rearview mirror.

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you sleep better at night. It may not have been Motorola’s intent but this has been a thing since forever ago.

So the automotive world died for you sometime around 1995? Welcome brother. If you have a newer one (of many makes and models) it can already do this. Anything with an “assistance” button is in effect a built in cellular phone, and your button isn’t the only thing that turns it on.

You have a choice as to what car you drive too. I am extremely confident that a 1967 Dodge Charger (or in fact any vehicle predating the year 1998 or so) will not be “phoning home”. Fun fact, services like “On-Star” can be turned on remotely, even if you aren’t subscribing to the service. Not only can it track you…

So...do you happen to own a cellular phone? You know those already do this exact thing right?

“They exist for three reasons” for several minutes I was convinced you said “three seasons”...R&M has been renewed for season four but it did not happen until a month or two ago so don’t hold your breath.

Why? It’s not as if the barrier to entry is high or there aren’t virtually equivalent rental scooters from multiple vendors trying to corner the exact same segment.

I suppose. AKAIK 13 inch tires are all special order now and in a light car like that a set of $50/tire 14" Falkens is totally sufficient at...well above legal speeds. I couldn’t wait to ditch those factory rims. Drifting corners is cool and all but in an emergency (given these cars are made of tinfoil and hope) I…

I’m unclear on how we got on the topic of Lexus buuut....

While pizza cutter rims on a FWD car is not my idea of performance, they were low enough and light enough and slow enough that I’m going to have to call you on that.

Statistically cars that can turn without flipping over or chronically understeering are able to avoid many accidents...provided the meatbag in the driver seat is actually paying attention and not yelling at their 2.3 kids in the back seat.

A pox on whoever decided to call that FWD atrocity an Impala, it is a more embarrassing “upgrade” than the Mustang II...and also yes, agreed. Isn’t a Suburban/Expedition also several feet longer?

Way to pick up the torch of convertable Geo Metros team Nissan (aka embarrassing cars that you can take the top off of and be “seen” in). Between this and the Juke you are batting 1000.

“People” do care about handling, just not the ones who buy SUVs. This is a compromise between those and vehicles that won’t flip over every time you execute a sharp turn. Lifted sedans and wagons only do that like...30% of the time.

Thank you, beyond the “congratulations on building an AMC Eagle in the year 2018" this would have been my reply. While it’s missing several hundred style points over lifted Camaros and TransAms (bodies stuck on top of a Blazer chassis) Subaru has been carrying that torch for decades now.

It could be worse. Nobody got kicked off a plane by police due to overbooking and no animals died in this article. On the minus side, the lounge was completely out of Sechuan sauce.

Given their current P/E...insane people? Once they tank they will assuredly be snapped up but that is far in the future. There is currently no other EV mass market “BMW”. That will certainly change but right now Tesla has all the market share in this lucrative market, its just one that has a very finite size. Their…

Thank you, this article irked the crap out of me with this ‘last 5 years’ snark. UO was the very definition of sheep vs wolves. I was actually okay with it but ultimately you had to learn not to get too attached to gear or expect that you could have a ‘jolly dungeon adventure’ without roving gangs of player killers…

I sincerely hope your current Suzuki affords you well over 300k sans rebuild. I have friends who owned both Vitara and Grand models, they did not make it that far. When your engine starts smoking at 130k(ish) it’s difficult to determine how much longer the rest of the drivetrain would have held out. I’ve no idea how…
