Odd, seems like the obvious candidate. What more could you possibly want?

Seriously, they set the bar pretty damn low by popping in with a friggin' Aztek yesterday. Yeesh.

Hey, that's a tea tray, not a barbecue!

True. That's sort of what I was getting at with the "annoyed consumer" reference. If safety features are so annoying to use, they become useless because the user simply avoids using them.

Modern fixed-roof cars have rather impressive crush resistance and if you're rolling over, you flopping around makes it far worse. Having gone to traffic school as a young lad, I had to watch one of those "Red Asphalt" movies. In on scene, an emergency worker knelt by an inverted SUV to scoop up the brains of a…

I'm not sure why I didn't think of this yesterday. The "Ale Camino."

Four point restraints are safer than three point no matter what car you have. Manufacturers would have a hard time putting four point restraints on cars and consumers would probably be annoyed by them. I'd prefer to have them even though I hope never to need them.

Ride carefully lest you end up in traction.

How many owners try it, I wonder?

It is understood that that's what is delivered, but that's not what you advertise.

Seen RC car racers do it. They get huge air (for their size), and the good drivers can carefully angle the car in mid-flight to nose-down if they're landing on a downslope, nose-up if landing on an upslope and flatten out for a flat landing.

Dude's gonna be sore tomorrow.

I know it, Honda needs to do something to regain some racer-boy cred. Even just a token sporty model to answer to the FRS/BRZ buzz and wedge a toe into the drift crowd. Make it handle great, give it a solid, efficient engine that people can jam with boost and Honda will become an object of lust once again as people…

No, no, he doesn't need a garage. Those are for plebes. All those trees and gravel driveway and stuff are all under his "luxury" giant glass dome.

I think we have a winner: Lame new trend!

I dunno, you sound a little sensitive about this "manliness" thing.

Handicap placard free-parking is being massively taken advantage of in downtown LA. A casual observer on a weekday in some areas might assume that a large majority of the people working in the area were disabled.

Absolutely. We have the technology to do flex-rate parking. And even special permit RF ID tags, or with all meters now having card-readers, special permit holders can be issued a trackable card.

Thought Renault had that covered.

That's...unfortunate.
