Cars

Ford is recalling 230000 trucks because the tailgate can just pop open unexpectedly. Why does that need to be controlled electronically?

BMW had a recall for airbags on their M series. They used the same airbag company and now there is a recall on the recall. Could you imagine spending 100000 on a car and they can’t get the airbags right?

The airbag company probably knew what they were doing in hopes of a big profit but I doubt they will be held accountable. They should have to restore what they destroyed by their selfish greed. Perhaps we can find a way to blame God.

its human nature to come up with a way to justify our actions
its easy to blame your god: all parents are responsible for their childrens actions

It doesn’t. People are lazy.

In fairness, there’s a huge list of cars that have been affected by the Takata airbag scandal.

Totally true. Takata is shit.

Porsche is recalling their 2020 911s because their hazard lights are not working properly. Specifically, there is a computer glitch and they won’t turn on. That’s when you know cars have gotten too complicated.

My guess is most porsche drivers are too cool to use hazard lights so they won’t bring the car in. Either that, or they will just get a new car.

Makes you wonder about the cars that have steering-by-wire and brake-by-wire, where there’s no physical connection between the brake pedal and the brakes (and same for the steering of course).

For guys with no shoulder and neck connections.

Well, this is insane. VW grosses 108 billion a year and Tesla grosses 6.

Is this a Tesla endorsement or kind of not a Tesla endorsement or just no opinion?
You still have to drive one Reg!

Honda made a purely electric car. I’m not sure they want you to buy it, but it has some neat features. There are no mirrors. Just rain resistant cameras so you can see quite well in poor weather where you mirrors would be. This is a quite pathetic range of 137 miles. They also make the best engines. Seems around 35000 USD. Funny that the koreans are making the more expensive electric cars than the Japanese.

This guy’s YouTube account is carpervert. It’s a well done video. Pretty detailed. Excellent camerawork.

I like this Honda but the price/value proposition just isn’t there. For about the same price I can buy a lightly used Mercedes Benz SL convertible.

Yes too much sitting can take 8 years off your life. So can diabetes and wine everyday. So can smoking. So can poor nutrition and lack of exercise. So does being impotent.

You are asking for 8 more years in the best shape and performance ever.

You are an epilpetic now as well.

You’ve called Reg epileptic 3 times. I don’t know if it should be ignored but you brought it up so you must want to talk about it.

I am many things. Epileptic is not one of them.

3 times is epilepsy. A seizure is a single occurrence.

Yes a prophet too.

Drugs can cause seizures. Marijuana can calm them.

Did you just call Reg a prophet?
