Maybe an "I'm a shitbird" lighted sign in the rear window of every car which lights if % drops below 70? We have the technology.

I'm okay with this.

I'll take a 3cyl Fiesta or Focus over a Smart

Even with Ford's lovely DCT, or only the manuals?

Again something that doesn't sound unusual. Bunch of high beams on top of semitruck cabin is a standard feature.



That's a euro truck, though. We don't do that cab-over thing here much at all.

Guess he was some rich Canadian tech rear end in a top hat who had an expired license, but our GM approved test drive. We're gonna need a second wall.

The correct solution is a self driving car with an LTE connection and opaque windows so I can watch porn and I'm completely unaware what speed I'm actually travelling. It just gets me there in whatever some computer decides is the most efficient manner.
I don't like the idea of "efficient," computer-determine orgasms.

What happened to 4-wheel steering on non-trucks? I know Japan, in their early 90’s cocaine-fueled haze made a few cars with it, but I’m assuming it’s a cost/complexity/benefit thing where it’s not worth it.

I always like the double turn lane that feeds the outer lane into a "end of lane" scenario within 100 feet.

Not sure about other parts of the country, but literally every single time an overpass or underpass gets redone in my area they pull this poo poo.

Hell, in Farmington there are subdivisions with houses built in the last 40 years that have unpacked roads. It's wild.

The worst I've ever done is spend 15 minutes at the pump reading the owners manual for the rental Buick Verano I had a couple months ago because I could not for the life of me figure out how to open the fuel door. Then I found out on modern GM products you press the door down and it pops open.

The couple of times I'll pulled up on the wrong side I just hop back in the vehicle in question and do a loop to get in the right orientation.

My mom let me take her (then) new Kia Optima for a spin if I'd fill it up for her, and I had to call her from the gas station because how the gently caress was I supposed to know that there was a gas flap release lever hidden in the door near the place I usually shove fast food receipts?

I was just at the grocery and a very long blue pickup was diagonal (mostly) over a handicapped spot. No placard or plates signifying even a shred of correctness. An employee was on the phone getting the plate when I pulled in. :negative:

Wet leaves have killed cyclists

Cyclists are fragile as gently caress. Their bones have the consistency of pretzels.

Remember, a pretzel nearly killed dubya!
