Chrysler set up a display out front of the student center at work.



Missing? Actual Chryslers. They have a Jeep, a Fiat and an Alfa.

I'm sure the students would love to look at the latest model of the Town & Country.

Yep. If you don't defend your trademarks tooth and nail, someone can use them as a precedent against you in court. Lawyers ruin everything.

Bosch has an "OE" line of icons that has adapters for all the weird attachment methods if your car doesn't use the std hooks.

More like the only way to make a living is taking money from idiots with no taste to make garbage.

I'm sure out there, somewhere, is an airbrush artist who does quality poo poo. He or she is also gainfully employed in some other occupation.

To change the bulbs on my Renault's high beams, you need to remove the front bumper completely :derp:

There are several GM products that require this, as well. It's not a rare design flaw.

Why has flat earth theory seemingly gained so much ground in the US? Y'all really seem to love conspiracies over there and I'm worried.

Because Americans, from the time they are born, are fed a steady diet of lies, both small and large.

For a small percentage of people, when they reach adulthood and find out the truth, it breaks their brains.

They become convinced that EVERYTHING IS A LIE.

The earth is flat, moon landings fake, etc.

The CAN bus was originally designed as a trusted network. Security was never a consideration, because they never thought that anyone would be dumb enough to connect it to the INTERNET.

Oh gently caress that brings up another possible vector/motive to defend against. Remember back in early remote garage door opener days when thieves would just build a circuit that ran through all possible code combinations?


Like that, but with your car doors and the internet.

I dunno what happens when the cars are out of warranty. Is there even a firmware fix available, or do you just have to also buy new batteries all the time?

hardware fix, just short out the switch that drops the alternator, I'm assuming it is an AC compressor style hardware clutch?

Yeah, good point. The entire industry has shifted from selling cars to selling loans. The cars are just the enticement to sign up for financing.

This isn't just the dealerships - the manufacturers are in on it as well, with all of them having "captive finance" arms.

Yeah unless they got some sort of contract that is like "we told this dipshit multiple times we didn't want to do it and he's still insisting we do it" arent they liable for it?

Wouldn't it be better to just put hydraulic brakes on the same pedal as well? No way to confuse pedals and no time wastes moving foot in an emergency. Plus you eliminate at least one assembly with the actual pedal but also the parking brake is always applied automatically. Someone send this to Elon.



Or we could just leave it the way it is, because its the industry standard that everyone is taught how to use, and going to single pedal does not significantly reduce the cost or complexity of the vehicle.
