So he did. That’s when the apparently stock Chevy Colorado ZR2 bumped its way over the rock, and was home free. At least, that’s what it seemed like until the vehicle traveled farther up the incline. “They’re almost to a stop, and you can hear the pop, and you see the airbag come down, and you he...Read more »

Especially in a tight parking lot, surrounded by tall crossovers and trucks. My VW actually has a wide enough rear camera angle that I can creep back and see if anything is coming with the camera, before I commit to fully backing out ( and I still look). But our 17 Sienna with cross-path detectio...Read more »

The most obvious application for such a system would be a vehicle with an engine and transmission behind the driver, as it would the use of a manual transmission without having to run a hydraulic line to the rear from the clutch master cylinder which is usually directly in front of the clutch ped...Read more »

Next, I contorted my body to get into the tiny driver’s footwell. Once there, I removed two nuts holding the master cylinder to the firewall (one shown in the picture below, and one on the opposite corner hidden from view).

Without the “safety features” I would have carried across the sunny patch with no problems, instead I completely lost control of the vehicle and only avoided a crash because the road was empty. Needless to say, all the “safety” BS got turned off right away. Pumping the brakes was never the correc...Read more »

Finn says GM then had third-party investigators take a look at the vehicle, and as shown in the letter to the left, GM eventually determined that it was not going to cover repairs.

The new safety systems don’t really help for far too many drivers. My brother tells about his FIL who is a horrible driver. He proudly bought a new car in 2017 with all the proximity nonsense.

nanny-mandate (my own cutesy term I just coined): you’d like to see a bunch of these “nanny” safety systems mandated by the government or other regulatory agency for all cars on the roads. The plaintiff also couldn’t convince the judge that "used" Dodge Darts are covered by implie...Read more »

But the special experience is the 2.7-liter turbo. We drove the truck before we knew what was under the hood, and my guess was about a 3.0-liter turbo V6, or âone hell of a four-banger.â We didnât put a clock on 0-60 or freeway passing acceleration, but the engine was brisk, edgy, and ready...Read more »
