cars
A car (or automobile) is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation. Most definitions of cars say that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four tires, and mainly transport people rather than goods.Cars came into global use during the 20th century, and developed economies depend on them. The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car when German inventor Karl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars became widely available in the early 20th century. One of the first cars accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. Cars were rapidly adopted in the US, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.Cars have controls for driving, parking, passenger comfort, and a variety of lights. Over the decades, additional features and controls have been added to vehicles, making them progressively more complex, but also more reliable and easier to operate. These include rear reversing cameras, air conditioning, navigation systems, and in-car entertainment. Most cars in use in the 2010s are propelled by an internal combustion engine, fueled by the combustion of fossil fuels. Electric cars, which were invented early in the history of the car, became commercially available in the 2000s and are predicted to cost less to buy than gasoline cars before 2025.There are costs and benefits to car use. The costs to the individual include acquiring the vehicle, interest payments (if the car is financed), repairs and maintenance, fuel, depreciation, driving time, parking fees, taxes, and insurance. The costs to society include maintaining roads, land use, road congestion, air pollution, public health, health care, and disposing of the vehicle at the end of its life. Traffic collisions are the largest cause of injury-related deaths worldwide.The personal benefits include on-demand transportation, mobility, independence, and convenience. The societal benefits include economic benefits, such as job and wealth creation from the automotive industry, transportation provision, societal well-being from leisure and travel opportunities, and revenue generation from the taxes. People's ability to move flexibly from place to place has far-reaching implications for the nature of societies. There are around 1 billion cars in use worldwide. The numbers are increasing rapidly, especially in China, India and other newly industrialized countries.
I'm always curious to know what everyone drives.
I have a 2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited with an ARB Bull Bumper and a Warn M8000 winch. While I love owning it, I don't drive it enough, so it's up for sale.
Next is Jenny's car, a 2002 Hyundai Accent. One of the best decisions we've ever made was...
Adding this to the list of reasons I'll never own one.
I loves me some clean burning Guzz-o-line engines, and if the governments want to do away with that.... I'll gladly switch to nitro-methane đź‘ą:)
Following a decadeslong decline, three-pedaled vehicles are experiencing a modest but real resurgence. Manuals accounted for 1.7% of total new vehicle sales in 2023, according to data analytics company J.D. Power, up from 1.2% last year and a low of 0.9% in 2021. The Autotrader marketplace...
This is a horrible tragedy!

All because we are too lax with cars and who can drive them. We must ban all cars! Think of the lives we will save!
(Heavy sarcasm)
Anyone here have a recommendation on a good, inexpensive used car? Something under about $4k. Preferably well under.
My daughter is looking for one. The poor mileage of the one she has now makes commuting to school (community college) expensive.
Used car prices sure have gone up in the last...

Letting some projects I never got around to finish and my old daily driver go.

I'm typing this with a bit of sarcasm injected but in all seriousness why are cars given a free pass? Why isn't anybody proposing mandatory ignition interlocks and detuning vehicles to 90MPH or slower for drivers 21 and under? Where is the outrage from the left for all the vehicle related...

Private tours only from what I can tell, I hope to get a chance to visit this collection. I had my fun in my 1970 Plymouth GTX back in the day. It was a lot more fun driving it before I restored it and worried about getting a scratch in the paint or a door ding in a parking lot. Sold it many...
I'm still a bit steamed. What's with loony people?!
I got a call a while ago, from the local police. The officer asks me if we own a certain color/model vehicle. It's my 16yo daughter's car, and she's out in it, so it's instant panic.
He's very polite and calms me down quickly, by saying that...
