This points to a general comment with American Culture. There’s an assumption that things will be corrupted. Which is part of our founding.

anyone gunning for self-driving in a city is dumb. Cities have competition. Buses and subways for example.

Honestly, yes.  The amount of times they stop to help broken down vehicles, they should have some basics.   Especially for Nissan products.

Just to pre-empt any of those tempted by this story.

Not really. Think about the profit margins of GM, Ford and Especially Tesla.  

It sort of happens that way right now. Go car shopping as a family. All the cars are 5 star rated today. Shoot, 18 years ago, when I last was shopping for a new car, a 3 star rating was considered a death trap and I didn’t want to be near it.

The biggest loser of this, as I think about it, is American Manufacturers with their giant grilled trucks that absolutely suck at pedestrian safety.  I don’t see the EU relaxing their NCAP standards on this.

Non-Jalop answer: I would love to see a unification of safety codes between the EU, Japan, Korea and the US. This way, if Toyota makes too many Kei vehicles for their market, they can export some to America cheaply and sell them here. It would allow for enthusiasts to special order stuff like Alpines or the like and…

Cops need more training. Engine sounds strong and is pulling well. It’s just that the engine isn’t shifting into the next gear. He’s broken the transmission pan or possibly just landed so hard that the transmission has popped into a lower gear on the selector.

Andrew Jackson and Trump are very similar. Trump even welcomes the comparison.

So, it fixes everything I hate about the Hellcat?

Trump is so much like Andrew Jackson, it isn’t even funny.

I remember once that there were a lot of stories about massive winter storms in Maine. My wife called her Aunt to check on her and the storm was “downeast” and the only thing they noticed was that they hadn’t had a positive number for a high for a month.

I am far from a historian, but I do recognize that times have been a LOT worse in the past. It’s easy to think of today as being the worse time ever, because it’s going on now. But it’s an illusion.

Same. I don’t need/want a large expensive vehicle. There’s a R1S around in green that is exceptional looking, but is REALLY big looking too. I personally like the idea of the R3.

Wait, I missed another trend?

Exactly. And at this level of frost or so, by the time you finish scraping the windows, they would have been clear anyway.

Rivian.

If they don’t they will go out of business (again).

I’ve always hated Curb Feelers.
