    My dad just got the recall letter... turns out his Astra uses Takata airbags. He's been driving with a claymore aimed at his chest :)

    I love when these issues are only discovered after these airbags have been installed in cars for multiple years. Really makes it easy to just recall these things. /s

    Right? This doesn't put pressure on dealers at all, they surely won't have a two-month waiting list for appointments while working on a dozen cars a day

    Spoiler alert: they do.

    Did you replace a good factory exhaust with $400 aftermarket junk?

    It's probably going to be hydrogen fueled like the N-74

    Ah, the Nissan Pike cars. I love those things. RCR's review of the Pao remains one of my favorite car reviews of any genre.

    I know EVs aren't a popular topic around here, but this, tentatively, seems to be a step in the right direction IMO: https://www.wired.com/story/slate-auto-electric-pickup/ No-frills affordable vehicle built for customization and devoid of a godforsaken touch screen? About damn time if you ask me.

    Literally everyone: "Can we please just have an unadulterated Hilux already?"
    These guys: "Best we can do is a no range having electric shortbed that tows less than some family cars, sorry"

    Trying very hard not to get political here but the people who designed this clearly thought the world was going to go in a different direction than it actually did. Still trying to promote 2014's idea of the future in 2025

    I don't think I'll ever own a electric car if I have the choice but it is still a decent concept I guess.

    I might be dumb, but does that not just make it basically a hybrid?
