When you get into the car of an Uber driver, you expect a safe drive from Point A to Point B. You wouldn’t want something dangerous happening, like this rider experienced. Check out the Uber customer that sat in the back while the steering wheel falls off.

Rideshare of the Lifetime

This Uber rider witnesses the loss of a steering wheel while taking his ride. As soon as it occurred, he whipped out his camera and started videotaping. Now, the video has been posted to Twitter by @_shawndagoat. It has more than 5 million views and is going viral.

Watch as the driver attempts to reattach her wheel in the Land Rover LR2. Of course, we have to listen to Kiss From a Rose by Seal during the process.

We don’t know much about where this happened, but we know that shawndagoat says he is from Cairo, GA. We also don’t get the pleasure of witnessing the moment when the driver loses the steering wheel, nor do we know what happened afterward.

On the other hand, we do know that the tweet was followed up with –

“She got no tip no stars no nun we jump df out, f— the money I almost died dat day ‘U CAN LET US OUT RIGHT HERE MAM.’”

We’ve learned that Uber plans to investigate the issue, but there’s been no word yet. Other than we saw Uber tweet shawndagoat to ask for a DM.

Steering Wheel Falls Off

We aren’t sure we’ve ever seen this, except in cartoons. It makes you wonder about the quality of Land Rover vehicles these days. Maybe this driver should consider holding out for a 2020 Land Rover Defender instead. It’s coming back to the U.S.

Let us know your thoughts – we would love to hear from you.

Did you know that Nissan offered the Rogue in a hybrid version? If you didn’t it’s ok, not many people did. The Nissan Rogue Hybrid was gone as fast as it showed up on showroom floors. There was very little talk or hype about this hybrid and it will not be returning for the 2020 model year.

Nissan Rogue Hybrid

The Nissan was first offered to consumers back in January 2017 and didn’t seem popular from the start. Maybe it was the extra $2800 that scared people away from the hybrid Rogue or the fact that you couldn’t get any third row or folding rear seats. The lithium batteries in the rear took up to much space to offer either of these options. Plus, even with the hybrid version, it only got about 5 miles per gallon better than the non-hybrid version. With all of these cons, it just doesn’t seem worth it, nor did it for many others.

2020 Rogue Hybrid Death

For the 2020 model year, the Rogue did not show up on the pricing lists. It looks like Nissan will focus back on their better selling gas version. They also plan to introduce the new Rogue Sport this year. With the RAV-4 Hybrid and the expected Ford Escape PHEV coming soon, we not sure that anyone is going to miss the Nissan much.

However, if you really have to get a 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid, you still can. These seem to sit all alone on the lots of dealerships, begging to be bought. Maybe now would be the time to get a fantastic deal on one of these.

What do you think about these new hybrids? Are they worth looking at with all the new electric vehicles that are soon going to be hitting the roads? Let us know in the comments below.

We first told you about the Toyota Supra back in January and we’ve been waiting since for more information. Now, it turns out the 2020 Supra finally made it to dealerships across the United States.

First Toyota Supra Models

The first 1500 Supra models sold to customers are Launch Edition. It’s located at the top of the lineup and features a starting price of $56,180. Furthermore, the special touches include red mirror caps, red interior and black wheels.

The very first Supra auctioned off in January for an astounding $2.1 million. This benefitted the Bob Woodruff Foundation and the American Heart Association.

Some lower-end trims are also available. Customers have the 3.0 or 3.0 Premium trim available. The 3.0 model starts at $50,920 and comes with some standard features including dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, lane-departure warning and automated emergency braking.

On the 3.0 Premium, you have a starting price of $54,920. This includes a larger touchscreen, heated leather seats, head-up display and upgraded stereo system. Both of these packages offer a Driver Assist option that provides for parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control.

Supra Specs

As reported in January, this new Toyota features a 335-horsepower engine, made from BMW. It’s paired to an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission. This car hits 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. However, you can’t expect the same performance as with a BMW Z4. On the other hand, the price is lower so there isn’t much to complain about.

We look forward to hearing the thoughts of new owners after driving this sports car for a while. Hopefully, it’s everything we’ve expected and more.

Let us know your thoughts on Toyota’s latest model. Is it something you’ve been waiting to drive, or do you think it’s just a bunch of hype?

Check out other new Toyota models. We reviewed the 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD and 2020 Toyota Prius Prime.

It wasn’t that long ago we reported on the Philadelphia electric buses. At the time, we anticipated more cities and states joining into the action, and now it’s happening. The California Energy Commission just released $70 million to add 200 all-electric school buses.

Who Gets the All-Electric School Buses?

Funding was just approved from the commission. It total, it equals $89.8 million. Overall, it’s spread among 26 California counties. These buses eliminate about 57,000 lbs of nitrogen oxide plus 550 pounds of fine particulate matter emissions every year.

The conventional diesel buses simply aren’t safe for the kids. They breathe in the air pollution, which is California’s main reason for the switchover. If you do the math, you see this isn’t a cheap solution. In fact, at $70 million, divided by 20 electric buses, that’s $350k per bus.

Still, the commission believes it should save $120k in fuel and maintenance per bus every 20 years. So, in the end, the costs might be about the same, but we save the health of our kids.

What Do You Think?

We personally love seeing all the new technology for transportation. School buses offer a great chance to go green. Not only does it promote better health, but there shouldn’t be an issue with charging since it’s a specified route every day.

The biggest downside we see is the cost. Even if it balances out over time, it’s a lot to put out up front. Still, we commend those willing to make an investment of this proportion. Not only does it protect the earth, but it introduces kids to electric technology. Of course, most kids know more than we do.

What are your thoughts on California’s electric buses? Would you like to see things like this implemented in your hometown, or are you content with the same-old way of doing things? Let us know.
