Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

I bought a new vehicle in 2020 and I scratched off any vehicle that did that (stop/start) from my list, along with cars with GDI engines, turbo ,and any other āfeatureā that would break and be costly to fix.
give me a flat block 6 cylinder, 6 volt electrical, manual transmission, manual choke, bench front seat, split window, Studebaker and I will be a happy camper. I can change the oil, gap the plugs, change the filters and grease the joints with the hand tools in my garage and not worry about on-board computer failures.
Those vehicles that automatically shut off their gasoline engines when you stop: that āfeatureā is really, really, really hard on the engine. Scotty Kilmer concurs.
I have been driving for over 50 years and I still hate to be the first at a red light. It happened to me when I was in my 20ās and I still have an irrational fear of the car stalling at the light.
I rent cars occasionally and of course these are the new models. I was whaaatt??!! when the engine stopped and restarted when I was at red lights. I was definitely alarmed! Another was when my car slowed down when I had the cruise set on the interstate. I am definitely not getting those features on any new car I might get!
A plugger for sure, I remember the first time I was in a car with the keyless remote and the button had to be pushed to start and stop the engine. It had me remembering a car my dad had that had push buttons to put the car in gear. I know it was early ā60s but donāt know the model of car, definitely not a new car!
So many people take reliable cars for granted, they forget why itās not a good idea to stop one inch from the bumper of the car in front of you. If there is a car doing the same to you, nobody can move if the front car stops working.

Seriously? They have vehicles that do that? Why?! I thought it took more gas to start a car.

There are two levels of hybrids. There are golf carts with gasoline backup engines and gasoline drives with badly attached electric motors.

Scared this plugger years ago when I rented a car and was totally unaware of such a feature. In fact took it back to Budget as defectiveā¦

I donāt see how this feature saves money/gas. Doesnāt it take a toll on your engine or cause you to use more gas when you start up again?
