Or Bose. I have both Beats and Bose, and prefer the Bose for "overall" listening. The Beats are nice to have when I'm wanting some nice, fat bottom.

Screens, touch or otherwise. Becuz please looks at where you're driving.

I'm moving to Cuba. No Google. No Google Cars.

Um, but what if they're built by GM and start turning themselves off, or maybe built by Toyota and start accelerating on their owm?

Same thing must be happening in the Great White North, which would explain why my '90 Integra feels ever lower in traffic . . .

UPDATE: I actually followed a Tesla driving down Thurlow this afternoon. Nice. It eventually turned off of Beach Avenue into the parking lot at Sunset beach; getting "juiced" there at the new charging station Telus (?) built as part of its cell tower deal with the city. I can't afford a Tesla, but I've been…

Um, I think it was that the guy in front of the guy I plowed into stopped short, in the middle of the block, to make an illegal left hand turn. Chain reaction. Anyway, she - also a redhead - eventually left me for her coke dealer (long story).

I'll see your Mom's car, and raise you my then girlfriend's Golf while gawking at a black clad redhead standing at a bus stop.

Driving around town at night with my lights off - usually happens when I've parked in a well-lit, underground lot.

Excitement which is probably related somehow to the astronomical cost of housing . . .

There seems to be a Tesla "store" opning soon on Robson Street in downtown Vancouver. I was by there yesterday and there's a store undergoing renovations with "Tesla Coming Soon" type branding plastered on the external construction cladding(?).

In the '50's my father drove a Fiat Topolino. When he left it parked on the street a bunch of his jock buddies would move it up on to the sidewalk. I'm not sure if they pushed it or were actually able to pick it up.

Another word might be "stooge". I sometimes wonder if scenarios like this might be some kind of cynical, running gag down at the corporate/political "Old Boys Club".

This an bonus reason for loving my 5-speed. Especially in reduced speed zones.

Speeding in traffic usually requires a lot of extra lane changing, which would seem to increase the likelihood of a collision. There goes your time saving . . .

Needed becuz too stiff or too fat to twist 'round and looks out back window . . .

Who cares.

Bending the needle on weird/far fetched here, I know, BUT would it be possible to remotely hack one of these fly-by-wire aircraft to take control of it? Turning it into sort of a drone?

Using public transit to commute, I am always amazed when car commuters complain that they get no value from it and, therefore, should not help finance it. What if all those folks jammed on to the train were in cars on the roads? Yikes.

In general, I think driving should include skills in skid control, hard braking, evasive maneuvering, etc. It pains me that the big concern for new drivers is parallel parking - knowing that they'll probably consistently over-drive road conditions and lock up, and slide in, when something jumps out in front of them.…
