Same thing with cars. The “best generation” of cars is often 10-15 years in the past.

the only certainty in being human is uncertainty. well, and death and taxes, i guess

I am fine with flood cars being sold, less so salt water flood cars, but title cleaning should 100% be illegal.

It’s sad, but even people in the best of health have unexpected medical events from time to time. That’s why there are co-pilots.

Surprised they give a shit. They just send flood cars to auctions in GA and Texas and let the used car dealer sell them to some poor sap with a “clean” Car Fax.

With any luck, in 50 years when most vehicles are EVs (a premise I generally disagree with, I think it’ll take longer), the highways will have chargers embedded in the pavement so you can charge while you drive. They’re experimenting with that technology in Detroit right now.

fuck us over continually into perpetuity.

Simply slicing down the beltline through the doors and enlarging the side glass would make this car near perfect. I had a 06 Mz3 and this design has never grown on me.

The CX-50 is easily the best looking CUV in its segment. When it comes to interior and exterior design, Mazda has absolutely been killing it over the last 15 years.

It really is a great color. This car in white is so bland, but in red, it is suddenly one of the most eye catching cars in that price range.

Great movie!

Seriously, I work in construction, and while it’s not as bad now as 2020/2021, the world is still adjusting to a new normal. Covid is going to ripple in the supply chain until the end of the decade.

Ten grand is a lot for a limited use car that’s not your “fun” car.

$10k for a 13 year old NGV that would be a pain to refill for most people?

I was torn on this one. I like the car, it looks good and I have a CNG filling station relatively close to me. But for everyone else?

Wait a minute - his BAL was 0.067. The limit is 0.08 (at least where I am). And you can easily be impaired under the ‘legal limit’, and still subject to prosecution. So no - at least here - 0.067 is absolutely not a guarantee that the dude was ‘sober enough to drive’.

How long did it take to take that blood sample?  It was higher than 0.67 at the time of the arrest.  He’s driving after having been drinking, putting his seatbelt on while the vehicle is in motion.  Sounds like pulling over to investigate makes sense.  Refusing to perform a sobriety test kind of limits the cops…

At least in the states I have lived, refusing a sobriety test is treated as a failure. I’ve seen the online “advice” that if you think you’ll fail the sobriety test, you should refuse it and delay as long as you can for the blood test in hopes that it will take multiple hours to get there so your body has more time to…

Exactly. This is a big old nothing. Unless there are EV batteries on a test rig, which might be a little sketchy, it’s the clean up of a barely used service garage. 

Nonsense. Of course they’re real and ready to go into widespread service. Why, here’s a picture of one already ferrying famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger to a glamorous event:
