This is possibly the most useful luxury feature I have ever seen

I just got diverted to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , because youtube suggested it and I was weak and clicked (I was actually doing work on youtube, honest). Anyway, this thing has the most interesting feature...

A key that you can use to not only remote start the car, but also remotely move out of its parking spot. Garbage feature you say? Perhaps. Expensive gimmick? Sure. But this could make a real difference in my life. See, I have to park in handicap spaces, not because they’re the closest ones on the lot, but because they give me space to get my chair out of the car. And, if some jerk boxes me in, or if there aren’t any handicap spaces available, I could user this thing to let me park anywhere and just remote the car in and out of a space for access. Fabulous!

This might actually be worth retrofitting if anyone could make an after market system that would do it.

Chariotoflove watching a Doug video?

ONE OF US. ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

Yay! By the time it moves down market to my price range, I’ll be old enough to need someone to push me around anyway. *sigh*

I was tricked into it. Tricked, I tell you!

Truthfully, I always liked Doug’s writing better than his videos. The videos aren’t bad, just take too much time for me.

Wait, isn’t Doug DeMuro a required viewing prerequisite to get Oppositelock Un-greyed Commenting and Authorship privileges?

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY CHARIOTOFLOVE.

GIVE HIM BACK.

I totally understand. I watch them when I’m having lunch between classes.

That’s like the highlight of college so far.

Surprisingly, I know of one Oppo who can’t stand Doug.

And he’s been here twice as long as I have, if not more.

SEND ALL YOUR POP TARTS OR THE CRIPPLE GETS IT.

Hey, everyone needs study breaks.

It’s a great feature, but I think they should implement it as Mercedes does—there’s no reason for a modern key fob to merit its own touchscreen.

If you don’t have the money’s to bribe a mod, you can have your choice of that or mocking a DeBarge video.

I get an exemption because of my sick puns.

Fair enough. He’s not worth the cherry ones.

Did someone say DeBarge?

I’m with you. I always skipped the videos and read the column.

It’s 2018. Even my toilet needs to operate from a touch screen. How else am I supposed to differentiate myself from the poors?

That’s a good commercial. Kind of in the mold of the VW Darth Vader one.

If he would chop at least 5 minutes from the average video and ditch the “Doug score” bs I’d like his videos much better.

I normally watch till he starts the tally and call it good.

Agreed, it is a quite effective campaign especially with the “Stranger Things” style kids out front.

My pockets are not big enough to hold this many screens! I already have one on my phone, why can’t I just use that?!

The Doug score is pretty much a gimmick.

My biggest gripe is I would like to see the section about equipment judged against other cars of the same era. I get irrationally annoyed by seeing a 50 year old car dinged for not coming with the same equipment as a modern S-class.

I agree with that.

Be like Japan, have a thousand different functions for your toilet all in one command spot.

Now you’ll feel like the commander of the Apollo mission from the comfort of your porcelain throne.

That’s a great idea. I’ll already have my joy stick.
