Stellantis really IS trying to kill the Jeep brand. Making their bread and butter mommy mobile manual only is a very bad decision, especially when all the other Jeeps are even more overpriced than the Wrangler.
That particular insurance scam only really works in NY because of the way Police do not respond to minor accidents. If this happens to you without a dash cam, get the police involved, they will easily sus out the scam and write you a police report for insurance.
On the topic of implicating yourself with a dash cam, you are actually allowed to send them a small clip of what happened, as long as whatever you cut out didn’t contribute to the crash. There was a pretty famousish case where a biker crossed the mustard and was lane splitting (or filtering? Whichever the illegal one is) How ever, when he was hit, he wasn’t doing anything wrong. He got off.
In the EU, in 2023, automatic transmissions accounted for about 62.4% of new car sales in the EU, up from 24% in 2011. I would imagine that's mostly cause of EVs and hybrids though. 67.11% of new cars available in the UK, are only available with automatic transmissions. In 2010/11, only 5.2% of people in the UK took their driving test with an automatic, as in can _only_ drive an automatic with their license. Bit under 16% did so in 2021/22.
I’ve been driving with a dashcam for years. I don’t understand going as cheap as possible with a crappy picture, low framerate, etc. Go with a name brand that has a history of providing support, like Blackvue or Thinkware. Spending only $30 on a dash cam and hoping it doesn’t fail when you need it most could cost you whatever happened, and you’re out $30. While a $200 dashcam could save you thousands of dollars. I’ve moved my Blackvue from car to car over the past decade and it hasn’t failed me yet. I’m only thinking of upgrading because I’d like higher resolution and framerate for clearer picture. But it still works so well that I’m not in a hurry to upgrade.
Linus Tech Tips did a video on dashcams, above a certain price they're all seemingly the same inside. Definitely not something to cheap out on, though. I've also seen an app to convert old, unused smartphones into dashcams, I'm curious how that would compare. I'm currently using old phones as security cameras and they're doing pretty great.
See what they did there with comparing the price of the VW Bus? thats just gaslighting us into thinking "cars are not expensive, we are just broke" wake up sheeple 😆

Rivian launched their "cheap" small cars a few months ago, coming out like 25-26-ish. Looking really cool IMO.
okay but whats Nolans favorite Gundam?
