Except for calling, no not until recently. My car just got updated so it can use Siri eyes free, so I occasionally use that to change the music. That’s a little better than the Sync system, but not much. She's a bitch sometimes.

Favorite Car? Fusion Sport. It’s a real car, and high power midsize sedan for the masses. I’m almost positive I’ll be getting one next year if it’s as good as it sounds on paper.

Seriously considering the sport as my next car when the lease is up. I DD a 2015 Fusion Titanium, and my boss asked me the other day what my complaints were. I said transmission, my ford touch and headlights. This solves all 3 with some added power (which would be very nice). I wish they did a little more to the…

Well yeah, Top Gear already taught me that.

How about a Willys Jeep? It would fit right in after the Hummer. Plus, you could take it to JEEP events, and finally tell us what the hell “it’s a JEEP thing” means

Go to Florida, you’ll see this all over the place. When I went last winter I was shocked at how many modern Cadillacs have this installed. Ugh

See: Spyker. That’s about as close as a company as I can think of to try something like that, and it failed.

This is a common issue with a lot of fluid systems. In the medical industry it’s called “dead volume” and refers to the volume of fluid that can be trapped between cycles, even after flushing. In situations where that’s very critical systems are designed with zero dead volume components.

Maybe it’s just the angle of the photo, but it looks like there is some serious negative camber going on right here.

There’s a podcast called Car Stuff that has an episode all about Smokey Yunick. I highly recommend it.

For everyone who is comparing this to the GM ignition switch recall and saying that one was worse:

“a 360 degree back up camera, a 12.3-inch, and onboard WiFi”

Exactly. The most common one people interact with is probably magnetic shocks on cars. They use this fluid for adjusting the firmness of the suspension. Those sport/comfort modes on Corvettes, Cadillacs, Audis, Ferraris, etc. all do this.

With the amount of cars moving to aluminum these days, I really hope someone offers an anodize finish. We use anodized aluminum all the time at my job and it’s fantastic. I think it could make a nice matte finish car that’s also durable.

I don’t think Doug knows what a spleen does. That said, neither do I.
