IPCRESS posted:They're in addition to the standard wing mirror; they're typically a fisheye to help you reverse park and/or assess the damage to your toddler when you've reversed over them. How are those any different than those little glue on blind spot mirrors? Aside from being uglier and more likely to impale a pedestrian on impact I mean.

The most important thing self driving cars could do isn't drive for you but act as error correction for human mistakes. The car could maintain your lane while panic braking to avoid the aforementioned deer or pull to a shoulder if you stop giving input (such as from falling asleep). Or even simple things like keeping the brakes applied if you get out with the engine running and forget to put it in park.

veedubfreak posted:Is it really such an issue to park a little farther away? In some places 'further away' means up to a quarter of a mile away. My old apartment was like this. And if you're time limited that means you aren't getting your errands done because some rear end in a top hat thought his car was too important for one spot.

BlackMK4 posted:I'm not shifting the blame, I'm just explaining what the video actually shows rather than people saying he throttled up and rammed the dude. Not to mention it looks like the guy intentionally walks into Tony's line prior to getting hit. That's just dumb. Stewart has a history of being a right oval office but it doesn't really look like he was trying to crash into anyone.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Sometimes holding it upside down lets you trick the evap mechanism and keep a busted vent valve from creating enough backpressure to shut off the pump. Or sometimes you have a gas cap behind a license plate that folds downwards, like early 90s jeeps. Their design means you pretty much have to hold the pump upside down or at a step angle. Someone with an old car like that might not know they don't always shut off correctly in that situation.

Panty Saluter posted:That being said I would never own one as a primary vehicle but that's not particular to the RX-8 either. I have one that I've been using as a primary vehicle for the last year and a half. Keeping it topped off on oil and making sure to redline it at least once or twice a trip has kept it going strong. 118k miles and still runs great. That said I have to agree about not getting one as your primary/only car. The worst part isn't the goofy engine or even the aesthetics. It's the two cupholders in line with the shifter that make it impossible to use the arm rest and jams straws and lids into your forearm whenever you change gears.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Yeah but that's probably an airbag steering wheel, judging from the bulge. Front airbags didn't/don't always deploy from side impacts, right? Maybe it got hit from the side initially and the damage was severe enough to prevent the front bag from deploying during the rest of the crash. Or it didn't work because its a neon, a car that was terrible when new and hasn't improved.

Darchangel posted:Boy, she'd poo poo a brick if she ever rode/drove in a rotary-powered car. 65 in 5th is over 3000 RPM (8000 RPM redline), and you'd never get anywhere only revving it to 2500. I shift at 5-6000 RPM when I'm driving casually. I think the autos redline at 8k. I know my 6 speed redlines at 9k. Which, in a related note, caused my equally rev averse mother to lose her poo poo when I redlined it getting on the highway. She was sure I'd destroyed the engine doing that.

No pictures because you can't photograph smells, but I rode in my roommates Mazda 3 today and good lord. It smells like it's on fire once it warms up. I asked her about it and learned the last time it had any maintenance beyond tires/battery was sometime in 2011.

I took my old El Camino pretty far past 85 once (speedo only goes to 85) and that was enough for me. Bricks are not designed to go that fast.

Wait what Mine charges 3.50 delivery and we get none of it. And we get 4.50 on the road.
