I was unable to get a picture, but this morning on the way into work, I saw a 2000-ish Chevy pickup that somehow had rear positive camber. Mostly on the passenger (right) side, but I think I saw a little on the driver's side as well. I have no idea how you so something like that and it keeps moving. Yes, it's handling appeared to be a bit strange over bumps, why do you ask?

Guinness posted:Terrible number of screens aside (it is really terrible), this is such a bad promo photo with the color balance being all hosed up and all the screens being bright blue and white. There's definitely a level of 'trying to take photos of things lit up in a car at night plus trying to get the driver in too'. In the S Class I was in a few years back the screens weren't bright (but they couldn't manage pure black either so a night mode would still look like rear end) and the LED lighting a lot more subtle.

The interior LED strips seem fine from other footage (as in, nowhere near as bright as that image) and from what I can tell every other screen in that photo is either the dash or the center console screen so  . Not that unusual. I dunno where they fit the other three screens but they're not on the doors, those are just illuminated buttons for the seating controls and the windows/mirrors. What an amusingly out-of-touch way to present it tho. Not to mention the photo making the interior look like a rave.

In the EU the electric hummer will require at least a C1 class license, which is normally for medium-duty cargo vehicles. I miss the night driving mode Saab had where you could turn off the backlight on everything except the speedo unless your attention was needed, so the tach would light up if you got close to redline for instance.

It is like when I am back in Britain and I see people trying to drive USDM cars like Challengers and Full-size Trucks on UK roads.

If car manufacturers are having to tack on an "ad-supported revenue model" because they can't profitably enough sell actual physical metal, uhhhhhh maybe that means their cultural stranglehold is slipping and that's a good thing?? ?
