Same thing happened to me. Freak late snowstorm (Mother’s Day!) one year in Minneapolis and I almost slid my WRX right off the road backwards. Whoopsie.

Yep. All of that.

I have tried every combination of drive (FWD, AWD, RWD) and tire (Performance, All-season, Winter) in places that get real snow (Chicago, Minneapolis...).

I can see that. It also depends on the vehicle, I suppose. There are a few new car colors that are fetching, and I might go out of my way to pick it if I was buying that car (one example, the Ceramic White on the new Miatas).

I’m near the opposite. Last new car I bought I specified this color: “not red.” Anything but red was acceptable to me.

I think we’ve determined in the US that the vast majority of people do not care about the common good and the impact of insurance premiums and/or hospital bills due to collective actions to reduce those costs.

Meet him in person. He’s funny and genuine.

But, they DID introduce the White Stig after they “killed off” the Black Stig. There was no name, though, because he was The Stig.

At this point, that would caught automatically by the machines, and the account would be flagged and shut down. Outliers like that are spotted pretty quickly.

5 friends who know my wife and I REALLY, REALLY well chipped in and got us Tire Rack gift cards as a wedding gift.

If he could somehow profit from that scenario, he would.

So, what you’re saying is that if we accelerated a Porg to 99% c....

You aren’t wrong.

Thanks!

I worked with a guy who did industry analysis for Convenience Stores. You are correct.

There’s probably some costs involved to continue to refine the fuel to some degree. I agree with you, that it might save costs.

I have a strong suspicion that some of the larger suppliers run near constant price sensitivity studies. I work in retail, this is a real thing, larger retailers do this ALL THE TIME and are quite sophisticated about it. They likely discovered three things:

It also doesn’t help that the OEM Miata battery is also properly sized to run certain Seiko and Timex models.

You’d be surprised.

Utter bullshit. Have you ever MET an F1 driver? As in, seen one in person? Shaken their hand?
