  1. Jalopnik Readers' "Worst current Automotive Trends"

    I don't jump on ford for it, it's nearly universal these days (and by "these days" I mean these decades. The one that got me was... 15? years ago. The brief period suzuki was making new cars for the US market). Haven't driven a bronco but it's nearly universal. With the screen off, how much HVAC...
  2. Jalopnik Readers' "Worst current Automotive Trends"

    Came here to say exactly this. Even as a card nerd and repair guy, I've fallen victim to this (granted none of my cars have backlit gauges that it's a problem). outside gets dark, DRLs give off enough light it's not obvious you need lights on, gauges still fully visible. I'm not a fan of...
  3. BYOD - Amazon Alexa as sound system

    Is that going to have enough volume to deal with the windows down? Do those things sound decent for music at high volume? Still feels like going the long/hard way round doing the same thing vs just getting the built in speakers for a much cleaner install.
  4. BYOD - Amazon Alexa as sound system

    That's national and talking about option orders. This is just social and curious.

    In other words, the article makes it sound perfect to me. I 100% agree with not limiting me to an arbitrary speed "because it's safe" but there are lots of logical reasons to limit it to 90mph, nonetheleast of which being overspeeding the motor. There's a point at which things do come apart or...
  7. Hoosiers speak up

    How many other folks in Indiana are looking to get a slate?
  8. Will you need a test drive before you purchase a Slate?

    Not everyone is sized or sensitive to position enough for it to be a problem. Not everyone spends enough time in the car for it to matterDepends on their body, fitness, flexibility, even what position they sit in. As for how long it takes, some people have enough knowledge of ergonomics that...
  9. Will you need a test drive before you purchase a Slate?

    I'd like a test drive but it'd have to be pretty bad to back out. I don't think that'll happen based on the videos and reviews I've seen. I can relate to the other stories about learning stick under fire. First truck was a 96 ranger 4 banger, geared the same as the 3.0 v6. bought it on a...
