caranddriver.com9 Potentially Annoying Car Features to Avoid in Your Next Vehicle
Auto start-stop
Touchscreen ("iPad") control interface for infotainment
Also touchscreen (putting formerly physical controls, like mirror adjustment, behind menus)
Bad USB port placement
Driver monitor cameras (a la Subaru), which are now apparently U.S. and E.U. mandated??
Piano black trim is a fingerprint magnet
Overwhelming number of audible alarms
Automatic lock/unlock going off on its own?
There is no number 9? I guess it's "sun reflecting into your eyes off shiny trim materials", but there wasn't an H2 header for that section. Why am I not the editor at MotorTrend?
TIL Hummingbirds steal spider silk to use as an integral part of their nest; the strong but flexible material allows the nest to expand as chicks grow larger
birdsconnectsea.orgJeep’s Latest Special Edition Wrangler Only Costs an Extra $80
I know Jeep special editions are lame, in that they don't typically add anything actually unique to the Wrangler. But I do enjoy that they're one of the few automakers really having fun with them. I just found out about the Twelve 4 Twelve campaign, where 12 separate special editions are released this year. The Smoky Mountain one isn't particularly exciting, BUT the retro 80s one is pretty rad.
The 2026 Subaru Outback completely prevented me from going to FM radio or Bluetooth unless I accepted the data-collecting, "free", ad-supported SiriusXM. I tried turning both the infotainment and the car itself off and on to no avail.
It was a rental car, so idk if there's an actual workaround here. But definitely infuriating.

cbsnews.comFootballRules.com is provided by IFAB...but does it actually hold weight in terms of enforcing the LotG?
This really seems to be a Quran/Hadith situation. I'm not even sure when, but IFAB published FootballRules.com as a "simplified Laws of the Game".
Most notably, for me, the website has an overview of handball offenses. It includes the three actions that must be called as handling:
- deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm
- touches the ball with their hand/arm when it is in a position that makes their body unnaturally bigger and that position is not the result of their body moving fairly as part of play
- scores a goal against the other team with their hand/arm or scores immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm (even if the touch was accidental)
However, it also includes a section about what is NOT a handball...and this information is nowhere in the Laws of the Game. It reads:
A handball offence is not committed when a player:
- heads, kicks or plays the ball with another part of their body and it then hits their own hand/arm (unless the ball goes directly into the opponents’ goal or the player scores immediately afterwards)
- falls and the ball hits their supporting arm, which is between their body and the ground (unless the ball goes directly into the opponents’ goal or the player scores immediately afterwards, in which case a direct free kick is awarded to the other team)
- is hit on the hand/arm by the ball which has been played by a team-mate (unless the ball goes directly into the opponents’ goal or the player scores immediately afterwards, in which case a direct free kick is awarded to the other team)
I would enforce a non-handball with these factors. However, is that technically proper? Is IFAB's explanation of their own rules actually allowed to be applied in games?

Shoving your teammate to slam him into an opponent would only result in a YC and IDFK?
As far as I can tell, direct kick fouls only apply to fouling an opponent, not a teammate. So pushing your teammate into an opponent would be an IDFK and yellow card for unsporting behavior...unless there was violent conduct. Also, I'm exhausted RN so my brain ain't think good
