I googled some pictures of side markers (both front and rear) as a sanity check for your claim and sure enough, they are all amber in the front and red in the rear in all the examples that popped up.

I thought red lights indicated the actual rear of a vehicle, not a rear-side.  If I see a red light, I think it is the back of the vehicle, and your wish would screw that up.  Same with white.  It indicates direction of travel.

Sad to say, but the owner probably got the best possible outcome there —- insurance pays her to replace a vehicle that has terrifying depreciation. It’s the only way she’d ever get close to her money back. 

Looks like it is no longer a 4 door luxury sports coupe like the 1st gen. All 3 of the 2009-2013 ZDX owners will be very upset.

You can get a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 for under $20k, and it’s a more desirable car than this in every conceivable way except for the fact that Senna farted in this one.

Stick with me here... The malice isn’t in the intent, but in the ignorance of the assumption.

Yes, that’s what I said. Tesla did the test, filed the results, and NHTSA is declining to do an independent re-test for now. The clickbaity headline implies that the CT hasn’t been crash tested by anyone at all, which the video in the article itself shows isn’t true.

It might be possible to see the test results by…

Some key info here: The Cybertruck *was* crash-tested. It had to be, to get licensed for sale by the NHTSA. The results of that test were filed with NHTSA so that Tesla could legally affix the sticker to each CyberTruck that says it conforms to the FMVSS (49 CFR Part 567).

What NHTSA does is *independently* re-tests…

Once I figure out where the heck they are the first time, they are cool.

I am generally not a fan of Lincoln cars but I think the handles on the latest Continental are super sleek

I’ll kick it off with maybe an unpopular opinion... I like those second-row door handles that disappear into the trim work. I find them surprisingly ergonomic and, when done well, keep the style lines really tight. Honda’s HRV and the Acura ZDX are the examples that immediately jump to mind but there are a bunch.

I love the handles on the 10th (and final) generation of the Lincoln Continental. The way the sit flush against the chrome trim around the windows gives them a well-integrated and elegant look. I actually thought the entire car itself was pretty nice looking, but the door handles in particular stood out to me as a…

FD handle is pretty cool

Fundamentally, if I have to spend an extra 15 seconds getting a stupid finger-print sensor thing to let me drive my car in exchange for a meaningful reduction in the lives lost due to drunk driving, that’s great. I’ll take that deal.

In some ways, this is like when drinking and driving was first outlawed. A lot of…

“This won’t pass”

It passed, it’s already a law. It has been for two years.

Give me a long enough lever and fulcrum to place it on.

Cool, can we have that implemented by November of 2024?

You know what would reduce drunk driving significantly? Well-funded public transportation infrastructure and walkable communities.

The great thing about this is that it would apply to everyone. So you may not drink (and that’s great) but this also ensures that you don’t get hit by a drunk driver. Or your spouse or kid or parent never get hit by a drunk driver.
