I think that's pretty much a New York thing. When I'm in Manhattan I hear that all the time. I regularly endure LA traffic at its worst, and people here seem less inclined to do that. I think they're too busy texting and rewriting their screenplays.

Wow... to see it from their perspective. Wow.

You know what I actually love? And I don't mean sarcastically, I mean I actually love this. It's when a driver does something idiotic, and you can see damage on their car that says they got nailed for doing it before and they KEEP ON DOING IT.

I didn't beat you. We struck a blow against asshats together!

A lot of people have covered the biggies, and if I tried to type them all out I'd wind up writing the Great American Novel, so I'll just add this little one:

Thanks for the tip. I've been meaning to try that, but almost none of my friends have polarized shades, and when I'm around the one that does, I forget.

I have two pairs. A glass-lensed satin-finish set, and a poly-lens amber-tinted polarized pair. The glass set is great quality for the money, and the optics are beautiful, but they're heavy. The polycarbonate polarized specs, however, are less so. The coating is already starting to separate in the upper corners,…

I love the gold-on-green Lotus livery. So macho. It's like a rolling bottle of Aqua Velva.

Complain all you want! It wasn't good! As soon as Siri started speaking just like Frank Whalley does in the movie it was comedically dead. The entire point of the joke should be that Siri blissfully goes on being Siri as Sam gets more and more angry. Total fail. (And I am usually the last person on Earth to go…

The Prius. Numb, slow, bad traction, entirely joyless. Teaching someone to drive using this thing will tell them that driving is a chore, not a pleasure. They will never take an interest in it and as a result will never be good at it. They will learn nothing about how to connect with your machine, and it's so…

Tie between the Toyota Prius, the Honda Insight, and the Smart Car. Rich, flashy cars are at least pleasurable to drive and own. Choosing to subject yourself to one of these sad little boxes is all about status. "I am one of the enlightened! I am the one we've been waiting for! I do this for you! LOVE ME!"

A few months ago, I was stuck in traffic on Beverly Glen in LA, and I saw a camo-wrapped tester car going by in the opposite direction. I didn't get TOO good a look, but I saw one thing that was unmistakable: The tall Alfa Romeo grill. Now I'm a bit sad that we're getting a tarted up version of that car instead of…

100% correct. I was raving about this at the time. Little black Jettas were the bane of my existence. That being said, overall I'm still voting Prius and Corolla. But in LA in the era you describe, I think you're right on the money.

"You know the often-botched phrase: 'Imitation is the sincerest of flattery'?"

Have to say, though: Batman Returns was NOT good, but Michelle Pfeiffer as Selina Kyle was easily the best part of it, mostly on the strength of her performance.

Lord help me I had a brief crush on the Jag X Type. No idea why.

Mercedes SLS. Those doors will probably wind up costing you a finger anyway...

Found a link to a file that's only 337MB but still very watchable:

@underwear-ninja: Vot? I am not ze Camry! I am ze volkswagen! Zis is my face und not a mask put on ze Camry body! Guten tag! Bratwurst! Oktoberfest! Ja ja ja!

@K5ING: I have no argument with what you're saying. However, I think the main complaint people have is not that it's a copy, but that it's a low-quality one. If it lived up to their love of TG:UK, they wouldn't be whining at all.
