I’m mixed on the screens. There are a ton of settings on today’s cars I will never used twice. I think having a screen setup a couple different driver setting for mirrors, seat position, preferred temperature, etc. isn’t a bad thing. Then the screen can just be used for apple or android and you don’t have buttons…

I don’t mind ACC, but think it isn’t as great as I thought it was in traffic around where I live because of the brake checking issue.

It’s more of a young people thing, while Loud Pipes is more of an older people thing.   I don’t know many 20 somethings that are into loud pipes (on harleys) and I don’t know many 50+ that are into popcorn and fart cans.  (to be fair, when you get around 50, you don’t need a fart can any more.)

whatever, that razor doesn’t work with spelling

I think my biggest take away is that ACC is a computer system that may not be as great as you think it is. It’s dramatically better than old cruise control but it still isn’t perfect.

I wouldn’t bet against her name being Karen, but her actions and responses to a blast of a horn and a single finger salute did not match her name.

Ocram’s razor. Easiest explaination for a normal looking mid-50s woman on the way to work in a new vehicle to brake check someone during a lane change into slower moving traffic would be ACC.

Yep. You can jack a truck 10 feet in the air in Carolina.. as long as the front isn’t higher than the back. Wonder why...

Yeah, but compared to an average vehicle, it’s still a lot of savings, even with the AWD and bigger wheels.

Dude was built different. If I tried drinking until I passed out, I would have woken up in a jail cell in the city I was trying to leave. Likely either nude or covered in puke or both (or both). Either way, I would have been Tic Toc Famous.

I’ve used it on trips with rentals and it seems to work well.  But I hadn’t thought about the potential for it brake checking people.  I never use traditional cruise control unless the road is completely empty and I’m driving a stick shift.

The brake lights lit up.  Thankfully. If they hadn’t I wouldn’t have noticed that in the corner of my eye as I was focused on the mirrors to make sure some nimrod was taking the open space from the fast lane.

When I pulled up to voice my displeasure the standard way (single finger salute), the driver was completely not paying attention. Not in the typical “crap I screwed up, I won’t look at this person”, but the classic “hmmm, I wonder what Becky is going to e-mail me this morning way.”

So, pack it full of astronaut poo and send it back to Seattle. Sounds good to me.

When I rent a car, one thing I’ve always loved is adaptive cruise control. But last week, my perspective it soured.

What are they going to do with the busted Starliner? Leave it on the ISS and let SpaceX burn it up in a couple years? Do an EVA with crowbars and pry it off like a barnacle? Pack it full of all the various astronaut Poo and send it back to Seattle?

The 4th Gen was a Muscovy Duck. A male one in particular

To me, it’s a 6 in One, half a dozen in another case for long trips.

I would say that there should be huge ones for businesses and apartments to put in Level 2 chargers.   

Realistically, at some point it doesn’t matter.
