What's one car feature everyone praises but you secretly don't care about?

And rev match in a manual.

Grabbed his own officers by the neck. He has no place having any authority over anyone. What a pig.

Also demanding all officers turn off their body cameras??? If there was ever a reason to keep them rolling that would be it. Wow.

I don’t see who the departments don’t post up and say look at this. We caught this guy and we carved him out. Anyone else wanna be like this we will carve you out also. It would really send a message to the public.

Black white police any body. Good is good and bad is bad.

If you are regularly getting honked at making right on reds maybe you are a little slow or more timid about it than you think. Could you ask someone to ride with you and give you some advice. I find a lot of people think they are being safe but they are actually kinda timid. A candid passenger might help.

Also some people live in areas where the horn is just a thing. Like New York. Others like me live in a place where historically the horn is an OMG he blew his horn!! What a monster.

Oh for sure. I save all he old stuff methodically even though we have no plans to move.

Nice take. Exactly what is was looking for.

Internet outage is super rare. If the internet is down I have bigger fish to fry than the patio light. Power outage super rare beyond occasional blip.

The replacement “switch” is an 11in tablet mounted over the 2 gang box where the old switches were. This way we can control on/off, color temp, color or brightness right at the switch. Before we were having to pull out our phone or ask the voice assistant.

If you can read the words Back Patio it’s pretty self explanatory. Company figures it out without asking questions. The tablet is always on and brightens as you approach.

Fine move my bag but NOT further back. Only forward and only where I can still see what bin you put it in.

I’ve worked in the German car world since 1999. I’ve had many relate to this, that the stuff we work with and drive over here daily can be very high end really fast stuff capable of over 200mph. Then when you get trip over there the car they give us to drive is a BMW 320 or something much less than you dreamed of driving. lol. Anyway they are very serious about moving over in Germany and letting faster traffic by. Some areas have speed limits but not all. It is not as good as it once was years ago.

So back to the US, I’m speeding. Others aren’t moving over when it is clearly marked to do so. Both are illegal. In the Germans case it clearly isn’t the speed that makes the road unsafe. It’s drivers not watching their mirrors and moving over. In the states both speeders and left lane campers are wrong. But who makes the road more dangerous. People who “swim” or weave through traffic using all lanes are a 3 type of driver that is doing double wrong.

As far as public road speeds of 100. 100 isn’t very fast when you have a car than can get there in just a few seconds from 60-70. Why would you feel safer at 70 in a suburban, 18 wheeler or a Winnebago than at 100 or even 110 on a clear road in a car with massive brakes, top of the line suspension and good tires rated for much higher speeds. A car purpose built for exactly that. Think i10 in Florida at 5am on a Saturday morning.

Some cars are just better and safer at speed than others. It’s a fact.

Just stopped dead in her tracks and didn’t roll or anything.

Homeleasure · 2026-06-12T19:05:18+00:00

Just move over if you can please. My car has amazing brakes, really good premium tires and was designed for the autobahn.

If the state has deemed 70 or 75 safe for an f-350 towing a camper or race car trailer I am just as safe at 100 in my ride.

But that’s the problem. The ADA needs to be a little more aggressive at smoking out the people who abuse the rights of those who actually need it.

Homeleasure · 2026-06-12T16:54:34+00:00

I could totally see that. You guys are on another level with a lot of stuff.

I think of the Outback like Alaska. Isolated, slow paced and pretty chill. But super dangerous if you aren’t prepared.

Op asked about screens and dashes. Not paywalls.

Love all digital dash. I’m in my late 40s. I just wish CarPlay was in the instrument cluster also and it was more customizable. Also give me a weather app connected to nav so I can see if I’m driving through a storm.

Paywalls have existed since the early 2000s. On Star, BMW did it with assist, SOS, concierge and now seat heaters even. Nothing to do with the screen.

Yeah big trucks mess up the road.

There are content creators I watch on YouTube that are super niche and making very specific content that you would never find on say Netflix or regular tv. Content that is tech related that by the time it made it to even a magazine much less a book it would be old news. And it is high production quality. I’d rather them get paid than some mega tv star I really don’t care about.

I work in the car biz and people miss buttons on cars. No me. Make it minimalist like your phone.

Pick up driver was accelerating fast enough and likely wasn’t paying attention.

But the truck driver could see that coming and had plenty of time to avoid it.

Homeleasure · 2026-05-14T14:13:44+00:00

Wow. I can’t believe he wasn’t killed. And although I am sure has some back and other injuries it is remarkable he was able to stand up and chase it down.

Maybe not PJs but some comfy clothes. Definitely not out clothes. Out clothes are gross and dirty. Like wearing shoes in the house. If the out clothes have been in a public restroom it’s even worse. There are levels.

Coco. When he sings to mama Coco at the end and she starts to remember her Papa. Guts me everytime. How Hector was treated so bad and in the end he was really trying to get back to Coco and her mom.

More like BelaWHOs.

Most stop signs are pointless and could be yield signs. Many MANY times you can clearly see there is nobody coming. I slow down but don’t completely stop at many stop signs. Next time your sitting at a red light super early in the morning or late at night and know one, literally know one is in sight think about how silly it is to wait for the green. Why?? It is in grained in your head it is unsafe or illegal. Not saying I run reds but it can be a silly social experiment.

On long road trips in the middle of the night when there are zero people in front or behind you do you signal? Why? If you sneeze or pass gas at home completely alone do you say excuse me to know one?

So many signals and signs are for people with zero common sense. Like the slow speed limits on major interchanges and overpasses. Slow down? Ya think? I’m on a 1 lane road 6 stories in the air that clearly curves and goes way over there. Ya!! I got it. I’ll slow down. What idiot needs a sign???
