That's true. That's the price you pay for an 80's platform.

Um...sure Kia marketing sure

There's a reason the resale value is so cheap.

Meh...it's just a fact. You hire developers for dirt cheap, you end up with dirt cheap solutions.

And lose all that instant torque. No thanks.

Actually, they do allow (in the US) in an 80's car. A lot of the regulations around that sort of thing are very relaxed for classics.

That's a prime (pun intended) example of what I'm talking about. Amazon likely hired them to write the algorithm to watch people shop, they couldn't figure it out so they decided to watch the video 24/7 instead.

Uh...what? How does a manual transmission work on a direct drive motor?

(And if you really want to do that, drop an electric crate engine in an 80s muscle car. I'm strongly considering it)

My company will be much better off...it's made up up of 80% value workers from India. AI can't possibly be worse than those guys at code.

They're just terrible cars. I've had two...they were great until they weren't. I literally had a screw fall out of the headliner the other day bringing it home from a nearly 1000$ exhaust patch/repair. It's not 10 years old yet and only has 60k miles.

The other one has had the engine replaced already (under warranty thank god).

We are likely replacing both of them next year. I'm never buying a Kia again.

It's a great example of the Russian propaganda machine at work?

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

It's not...it's a step in the direction of making sure the government knows everything about you at all times.

Maddrey said the officers followed the man, each firing a Taser which proved ineffective in subduing the man. He then exited the train while it was still at the station and charged the officers with the knife, the chief said.
