I fail to see what I said that you countered.

Mercedes doesn’t sell cars. They build them. Dealerships sell car.

A manual is the engaging way to enjoy ANY car.  A manual trans immediately makes a vehicle far more interesting.

I will never, literally never, purchase a crossover or SUV. If that means I’m eventually babying along a 40 year old hatchback, so be it, but I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in that sort of car.

Given that it’s cancelled, it is now officially their take on the Chevy SS.

The glut of post-apocalyptic fiction in pop culture at large and video games in particular has led to a set of beliefs and tropes that have settled into the bones of these stories: A moral nihilism that posits compassion as weakness, that the ends justify the means, that there is a thin line protecting us from them…

No. You’ll see people go “It’s 20% power loss”, but any drivetrain that sucks 600 hp has serious issues. Drivetrain loss is much closer to a fixed hp value than it is a percentage, higher horsepower cars tend to lose more hp on inertia dynos because a higher horsepower car will accelerate the drivetrain faster (gain…

TEXAS NEXT! TEXAS NEXT!

Lidar has very short range. That, and the cost are most likely the reason Tesla is avoiding it. By itself, lidar can’t see far enough to allow the vehicle to drive at full speed.

Im of the mind that episodes like this is far more rewarding than finding out how it all ends. Battle scenes are a dime a dozen.

btw.: self-driving cars won’t be able to prevent all accidents in real life scenarios and its main point is to get accidents (and their consequences) to a level that is much lower than that of human drivers. People who expect perfection are clueless morons.

You pretty much described an S2000.

“realistically anything more than 500 HP is unusable in the real world”

I don’t understand the purpose of low power, low weight cars like this and the 4c that don’t have manual gearboxes.

Aside from tailgating, I have to wonder if there’s really anything wrong here, on the condition that they needed to take it for a short test drive anyway.

The rules for US presidential elections have been the same since like, 1787 right?

Other democrats have won the presidency under those rules. Remember Obama? He won twice under those rules as I recall.

Presumably Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both also understood and agreed to play by those same rules for the 2016…

It’s too tempting.

I strictly limit myself to only the dankest memes while driving, so I’m much safer than the rest of you bozos.

I don’t hate it as a vehicle. I hate it as a Blazer.
