Those Audi (and VW and Porsche) infotainment systems come with a built-in HDD to store maps, your contacts, and your music.* But they figured you might want to add more music without having to load it onto the HDD (a not-so-straight forward procedure), so added a SD card slot. But then they figured someone else might not like you music, so added a second SD card slot for their music. It's a phenomenal amount of thought put into what the customer would need. But then they didn't add a way to create playlists. You need to create any playlists before you transfer your music to the HDD or insert the SD card. I don't know how such foresight by the designers got paired with such boneheadedness. * Technically you can add movies too, and they'll play on the infotainment screen.

In the late 1980s, the government mandated supplemental restraint systems (SRS) - something that would automatically protect occupants in the event of a collision. This was supposed to mean airbags, but airbags back then cost about $1500 apiece. So a lot of automakers opted for seat belts which were permanently clipped in. The other end of the belt was attached to a runner on the top of the door frame. When you opened the door, the runner would travel forward pulling the seat belt out of the way, allowing you to get in the car. When you closed the door, the runner would travel back placing the seat belt against your chest. (The lap belt was still manual.) Very gimmicky, and very annoying. They were phased out as airbags came down in price.

@@solandri69 I don't think I've seen a single one of those in the last 10 years that hasn't been unhooked, which results in people just using the lap belt when they otherwise would have used both if it had normal 3 point seat belts. Also it is unsafe because it can trap you in the car if the door is unable to be opened.

Love the videos. Truly amazing! These people are so unbelievable that they sound like fictitious characters written for a Hollywood comedy script! What's so incredible--and frightening--is that these incidents are true and the types of people who do this stuff live among us and are driving these death-mobiles on the same streets that we drive on!

⁠@@redtra236You cannot protect yourself without a seatbelt driving at ”around town” speeds. Crashing at 30 mph is roughly the equivalent of falling from a three-storey building - or being rammed by a 3.5-ton elephant. Another way of explaining it is that you’d experience a force of 30 G. Moreover, chances of an accident in town is actually higher due to dense traffic. Buckle up. Always. Don’t become a statistic.

The timing chain/tire problem illustrates what I've encountered with my own vehicles over the years: not checking the passenger side of the vehicle. Last year I was driving with a nearly-flat tire and didn't notice it because it was on the passenger side. Luckily another customer at McDonald's mentioned it to me. And with a previous car, the passenger door had started to rust but it was hidden by the dark color of the car and a sticker designed to deflect stone chips.

The amount of vehicles destroyed by rust until they are very dangerous is a very compelling argument in favor of mandatory yearly vehicle inspections. That's terrifying to me.

Not being able to shift unless the seatbelt is buckled can have some dangerous implications in an emergency.

@tarille1043 Exactly. Had a dinger in my truck that would go off if i wasn't wearing a seat belt, which i discovered was located in my radio. The radio only had AM/FM and didn't have so much as a cassette player, and the dinger went away when i installed a custom radio. I live in a small town with a population under 800, and the average speed is 15 to 25 mph, so i don't typically wear one unless i am going out of town where the speed limit is 70mph which seems more like a suggested speed to the majority.

In Germany and in other countries there are annual safety inspections mandatory. In case there is any small problem you are not allowed to drive the car any longer and in Germany you have to come one more time and pay again after the car has been repaired in a shop. I live in Asia and have to do the inspection every year. There is no rust underneath my 60 year old Jeep. And I am happy not to have all these electronic things which are not necessary anyhow.

Nah, there's an actual reason, the owner is smarter than the tech. The factory airbox and battery holder is integrated: the air is pulled around the battery to keep it cool. You need a new battery tray if you remove the factory airbox. There's an official Ford part for it, which is used when you convert to the AIS intake.
