We didn’t buy one because they didn’t offer one. When our TDI wagon got bought back in 2018, we bought a GLC300. I would have LOVED to have gotten a C-class wagon, but instead the only option they gave us was a vehicle with worse mileage and worse handling and with moderately more space. The E-class is just way too…

FIFY

So what is standard procedure when you get caught in one? I’ve been asked before if I’m going to continue it, so I would feel like a jerk saying no. Feels like I’m either making their life hard or deciding, yes I am the one who wants a free coffee today, thank you.

I wasn’t aware that rolling a stop sign was a life saving maneuver lol 

That sounds promising. Perhaps you should offer to run a training course.

Maybe the solution is to have bigger vehicles that can carry more people in one go through the tunnel. If it’s really high volume, maybe link the larger vehicles together in a chain so that they all travel at once all at the same speed.

Yes, the majority of big tech’s “innovations” are old ideas done worse. 

No. If you don’t like that your neighborhood has children in it, fuck off to another neighborhood.

I would rather use a clutch in traffic than have to ride the brakes all the time with an automatic. If you are shifting constantly in traffic you are doing it wrong. I don’t get it either. The only drive I ever had where I wished I had an automatic was evacuating for Hurricane Irma. Not because I got tired of driving…

You been sniffing that starting ether again?

My dad actually had an old ass celica that the only way to get it started was pushing it out and let it go down the hill to pop the clutch. He drove volkswagens almost constantly growing up so I think that is what got him. He makes some really good point even if you want to be a smart ass about it.

That is quite interesting. My dad told me you have to learn in the manual cause that is actually learning how to drive. He also knew that learning in a manual causes you to actually learn about governing speed and it keeps you more engaged. Americans these days are more concerned with convenience so they can play…

And zero tolerance is fucking stupid.  Not many things are so cut and dry; things need nuance, and one of them that needs it the most is the application of the law.

Zero tolerance is zero tolerance.

Eh, I mean, clearly sometimes “engineer” is too diluted and its use should be reined in.

People tend to underestimate Elon Musk too much. He’s smart. He’s got a physics degree. I bet he’s actually capable of doing that, and more.

Can’t believe I’m defending him because I don’t like his public persona, but I’ve got plenty of friends who work with him and they will tell you he most certainly is an engineer.

Physics and Engineering are not mutually exclusive.
