Absolutely love the “comments disabled” bit. Did this video at any time had comments allowed? I would love to see the troll fest

I seem to have issues with clapped out Altima’s not signaling and zipping in and out of traffic more than BMWs or other luxury brands.
jedibob5@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve seen the stereotype of Altima owners being bad/dangerous drivers around the internet a couple of times, and I’m curious as to how it developed… The Altima always struck me as a pretty mundane mid-size sedan, so I’m not sure what about it would attract a higher proportion of bad drivers over other similar vehicles, or why people would zero in on bad Altima drivers over anyone else.
Since I’ve learned of the stereotype, I have periodically noticed Altima drivers doing stupid things, but I also see a lot of Altimas and a lot of dumb drivers in general, so I haven’t been able to tell if the incidence of bad drivers in Altimas are higher than the norm.

They have a lot of space for the price and last a long time after being bought used, so they are quite popular among the crowd that insists on driving with one arm and the seat reclined all the way flat because sitting up straight is gay or something.

For me I think this one Altima has a largely similar commute time and path I do, because it seems it’s always the same guy.

Altima’s what?

Altima is not signaling.
Soapbox@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
The Altimas turn signals simply don’t work. The driver is unaware.
The BMWs signals work fine. The driver just thinks they are too good to use turn signals.

Where are these 429k people?

Drivers of other vehicles curious to know if BMW turn signals are supposed to work.

They didn’t view the entire vide. It was too complex

This has spread to more than BMW drivers. Just this morning I saw a Lexus, a Chevy, and a semi not bother with them.

Look man, when I’m in my RC F, that V8 ought to be turning your head so you anticipate I’m going to pass you. Otherwise you’re clearly not paying enough attention to my sick expensive car. (/s)

Step 1: Please pay your Signal Light Subscription of $36/month to enable the bulbs.

“Before I begin, I recommend paying your heated seat subscription before bothering with stuff like the turn signals.”
SavinDWhales@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Turn signals only available with the deluxe interior / lighting package.
…
For an additional 3 grand.

I can only imagine the frustration of engineers in BMW having to deal with finance people.
Engineer: “…So you want me to route the functionality of heated seats to a PCB to check for a payment variable, to prevent the person, who bought the car, to not be able to use a function already built in… Is that correct?”
Finance guy: “Yes! You got it!”
Engineer: “I know the answer is money but still… Why?!”

12 years ago. Back then shit was less dire.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 months ago
2013 was plenty dire. We had Ted Cruz’s friends in the House trying to dismember social security and medicare while Obama kept explaining away why we needed more troops in Afghanistan and fewer labor organizers in Ohio.
The '08 Housing Crisis was still echoing through the US economy, the economy was stalling in the face of Congressional austerity, and people ringing the big “Climate Change is coming for us” dinner bell were once again getting told to shut up so we wouldn’t scare away moderate republican voters in the 2014 midterms. Israel and Gaza had broken out into a brief shooting war, the recently-debunked Lancet “Vaccination-Autism” study was gaining traction among reactionary politicians, Jeffry Epstein was hanging out with Bill Gates on Palm Beach, and a fresh-faced NYC landlord with political aspirations was all over FOX News saying how he was on the verge of uncovering Obama’s real birth certificate.
The fuse was lit. We were all just in the fucking around phase, rather than the finding out part.

A good friend of mine was a BMW mechanic for years. He favorite joke was: “You know what the most sole crushingly pointless job is? The guy who installs turn signals at the BMW factory.”
