That looks like one of those pictures where everything is supposed to look kinda like something but it’s all nonsense and it hurts your brain. [img] https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article14704853.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/0_Screen-Shot-2019-04-26-at-125754.png[/img]

Pfft. The bondo that fell off my $200 Civic when I got t-boned was thicker. It's fine. Fine. I'm pretty sure the C pillar on my Vic is at least that thick too. The backside of it is absolutely destroyed to the point that the interior trim was just hot glued to the headliner.

Lmao you can turn literally almost all of that off from the steering wheel in under 2 minutes. It's also mirrored in the head unit settings.

My car has been parked outside for a bit at my parents and I saw a squirrel dart out from under it. I figured it was best to check under the hood and I was met with two unexpected guests: No idea what drew them, the car hadn’t been started in a few days. I tried to get them out but they slithered into the engine compartment somewhere. Later that day I didn’t see anything so I started it up. Didn’t need it that day, but when I checked today… they were back. I needed the car so I honked a few times to maybe scare them off; no idea if they slithered away while I went inside the house again. Hopefully they didn’t get chopped up during the drive

bigbillystyle posted:That happened to me this winter. There must have been a small chip at the bottom of my windshield and I was driving along the highway and I caught something moving out of the corner of my eye, was it an animal, some trash in the road? Nope. The crack just came up the center of the windshield, turned and ran right across the driver's side, like right through my field of vision. I don't think I've ever seen one form in real time like that. My RX-7 did that one winter years ago. I was coming home from the train station, stopped in traffic because of ice and snow (big deal in TX) one the phone with my wife to let her know where I was, and I watched as the defroster heat shot a crack all the way across the bottom of the windshield. I described it to my wife as it happened. It's still there right now, until I get it running again and swap out the windshield. I'm not sure whether this is awesome or terrible, leaning toward terrible. The article certainly is terrible, since they don't describe worth a poo poo how this is all happening. For one thing, I guarantee that doesn't have a Jeep CJ rear axle, as they claim. 4 lug bolts plus the axle isn't a foot wider than the car says so. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/...ign=ae_onscroll    From what I can tell, they're using a transfer case as a V-drive, which is terrible genius. At least that cast iron lump helps balance the car. A bit. slidebite posted:wtf is a crafter? I am NEVER buying a VW. These people are insane.

If it's like my outback you have to turn it off every time you get in the car, so I just taped over one of the sensors to turn off the driver assist permanently. I got tired of it slamming on the brakes when someone was stopped in the center turning lane.

I dislike that stuff for driving personally. The lane assist in particular annoys me. On the highway I will slide to the far end of a lane when I pass someone, especially a truck. Lane keep doesn't do that and provides resistance and annoys me. Same with the cruise control distance, it's a good safe distance and the car holds it until there's no car ahead. Which is inconvenient when I pass someone, I have to get over much earlier. I'm trying to adapt to it though! I do like the blind spot warning. Overall I like anything that's advisory and nothing that is direct control.

You can override the cruise control distance by just mashing the accelerator. It won't even turn the CC off and will settle back to whatever trailing distance you have it set to when you let off.

The only thing that I dislike is the lane keep systems. My mom's Honda senses the shadows on the road of an underpass that I drive through fairly often as the lane markings and attempts to turn the car into the wall. I had a rental for work freak the gently caress out and do some crazy steering inputs when I hit some rain. I had a big van rental that only beeped, didn't attempt steering, but didn't shut up for an 1.5 hour drive because I liked to be slightly on the right side of the lane instead of exactly in the middle (it was a two lane road, I wasn't blocking anyone in a lane next to me).

The Subaru auto braking saved my rear end. I was working crazy hours and spaced out near my exit and didn’t notice that the traffic had completely stopped right over a hill trying to merge in/out of the terrible 190/Mannheim interchange by O’Hare. The braking stopped me safely. So it’s a bit of a pain in the rear end when people make right hand turns but it works in an emergency. A land of contrasts.

Add all of that poo poo you're talking about plus a speed governor and that's modern semis too. Lane assist in that was actually really nice because the thing is already almost the width of a lane and they love to move about in the wind. The speed governor was the biggest pain the dick though because most company trucks have them and they're all set to about 70 (actual speed varied like +/- 1mph between trucks), meaning trying to pass another truck that had a governor was a snail race and if you're in the middle of passing all of a sudden you can be the one being passed because you're now going uphill and are the heavier truck. gently caress the other truckers without governors who would come flying up on you at like 90 at 3am in the middle of Wyoming. Specifically you FedEx drivers.

The interchange where the cars from 190 and 294 merge right before the exit for Mannheim north right before the on ramp from Mannheim north right before the exit for Mannheim south with basically no merge lane and full of travelers who don't know the area? I learned to drive around there, so it seems perfectly normal! Edit: just looked at the map and in 1.25 miles, you have 90/190 split, River Rd on/off ramps, 294 on/off ramps with both 90 and 190, and Mannheim on/off ramps.

Traveling along 90 close to downtown where traffic is about 7 lanes completely stopped, especially at night when you get a nice view of the city lit up close by but far away, for me.
