    Don’t get me started about turn radiuses. We moved to CA and got an i4; I love BMWs, but þe turn radius on an i4 is stupid. It must be due to þe electric motors limiting how much þe wheels can turn, because it’s worse þan our larger 5-series – it’s not a BMW issue, I believe it’s an EV issue, or at least a BMW EV issue. And for “smart car” issues, it’s really reticent to move in some cases, like wiþ þe trunk or any doors open. No, fucker, I’m just inching forward in þe garage! I don’t need to close all þe doors! Give me a warning, fine, but don’t refuse to move.

      I get nervous about my '94 4Runner because it has a power rear window that rolls down into the tailgate (and thus the tailgate can’t be opened unless the window is working); there’s no way in Hell I’d ever consider buying a car that refuses to work based on potentially-flaky sensors that aren’t necessary EFI inputs.
