What vehicle do you have that you cannot turn off the headlights? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that doesn’t have an Off setting.

Frankly, I think DRL’s should be banned. Instead, it should be headlights or no headlights, nothing in between. If DRL’s must be, then they should not function unless the headlights are…

I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem fitting a comforter in a washing machine. I’ve only recently downgraded to a compact washing machine though. Meh, worst case I could just take it to a laundromat. No big deal. 

I’ve been trying to convince my wife for years to just get a damn comforter and call it good. Duvets are dumb. 

More specifically,
Off, on, off, on = Turn on your headlights.
Quick flash of the highbeams, maybe two = At speed, Turn off your highbeams or stopped/low speed “After you”.
3 or more quickflashes = Road hazard (object or police)
Solid highbeams on after you have become visible = You’re an asshole and this is my only…

Comparing all mid/full sized trucks and SUV’s aesthetics, the Taco and 4Runner are hard to beat. The fact that the Taco is one of only two in that long list of vehicles that has an option for a manual transmission is the other of two reasons why I bought mine. I’ll talk shit about the features all day long, but at the…

Some features can be turned off, some cannot and even those that can be will often turn themselves back on when you restart the vehicle. And it’s all dependant on the make, model, and even sometimes trim level of the vehicle you buy. To fix the cruise control on my truck I would’ve needed to splice an Arduino into the…

While also getting subsidies to do the same so that they can pass the savings on to the investors. 

Yes, when you turn on cruise you can hold the cruise control button for 3 seconds to override it to Cruise Classic instead of Adaptive, but it’s something you have to do every single effing time you turn on cruise control. There’s no way to permanently override it without either getting a tuner to dig into the ECU…

If nothing else, my real desire is for these ADAS “features” to be optional rather than standard features. I probably would’ve bought a Tesla a long time ago if it wasn’t for the ADAS and giant effing screen stuck to the dash. The rest of the hardware of the vehicle is amazing, but the ADAS-is-life design ruins it for…

Honestly, even on the few roads I found where I could actually use adaptive cruise without it pissing me off it was a toss-up. 9 times out of 10 I’d rather just have Cruise Classic. It does exactly what I tell it to and it doesn’t try to adapt to anything, just how I like it. It was to the point with my Taco that I…

Had it on my Tacoma. ‘Twas worthless in traffic. 

I might make an addition:

If the weather is bad enough that you feel you need to have your hazards on, you are the hazard and you should find a path with roads suited to your comfort level. 30mph on the interstate in a snow storm is a recipe for getting rear-ended and hazards will not save you.

But but but L4/L5 is the future and the future is now! Just look at all the half-baked statistics that show they are better than every human driver!

Did they learn their lesson from last time and winterize their natural gas peaker plants, or are they going to fall on their faces again and blame renewables? That’s a rhetorical question. 

It’s not lying if you’re dumb enough to believe your aspirations control reality. 

Full Self-Driving Beta” will likely never get a self-driving car.

“See guys? It didn’t kill me here, today, in a controlled environment, without a cop giving it what-for... so therefore it must be safe for everyone else. I mean... that’s just Science.”

Not experiencing the bug. I just wish I could get the “Never Combine” option back. I hate stacked window icons. 

I mean, Toyota has 7 of the top 20 or so most reliable vehicles (according to Carmax so some quantity of salt is called for), and 3 of those are different variants of Prii. You should be fine. If it breaks, have it towed. That is part of the life you have to accept when moving out to the middle of nowhere with all…

Spending tens of thousands of dollars on a vehicle you’ve never taken for a test drive is far from a smart financial decision. I mean... what if the seats are uncomfortable for your specific body shape no matter how you adjust the seats? What if that feature you want is annoying to use? What if that feature you don’t…
