Oh wow, do not want. Something about that narrowness just bothers the hell out of me.

I'm totally joking, man. I would drive the hell out of a Viper if I could afford them, and I have much love for the entire Mopar family. If you want to call the Viper a sports car, more power to you—but I'm not the only one saying (or even necessarily saying here) that the Viper is something other than a sports car.…

Is it a super car, does it count given the low volume, is it really a sports car or just a serial killer of middle aged men with erectile dysfunction and an unrealistic opinion of their driving skills, and so on and so forth.

I don't know, I think the SS is a great buy too, and I've heard the Cruze and Volt are good for what they are. The 2014 Impala is a solid, though not standout, low-cost sedan, and it has the benefit of decent nameplate recognition. I'm not in Buick's target audience (i.e. neither old nor living in China), but I've…

I can never stop seeing the ass of those Buicks as angry old men with bushy silver eyebrows. I feel like I'm trespassing on someone's lawn when I'm behind one.

If I had to venture a guess, I'd say it's because GM has started building some great cars. If one has to wed oneself to a single car maker (the way that some people seem to feel compelled to do), one could do a lot worse than GM, which makes the best (arguably only) American sports car, a great RWD sedan that until…

Like a lot of jobs, there's more of a national shortage of willingness to pay nurses the wage that will fill the vacant positions. This is not dissimilar to the "national shortage of [pick a STEM major]", which is largely a "national desire to hire cheap, H1B1 visa-holding foreign graduates to do the work for half…

Thanks for adding that—my bailiwick is corporate law, so I am generally pretty ignorant of ACA stuff. Could you expand on the lack of economic incentive, though? It seems to me that if the government is picking up the tab for employees' birth control, through separate coverage or through an employee contribution…

I saw a Pontiac Aztek

In terms of numbers of employees who could be affected by this, it's about 52% of the workforce, but in terms of employees who will likely be affected by this, there's no good number on that, but it's probably smaller than you think.

The only thing surprising about this story is the implication that after that accident you stopped driving it, rather than crudely unbending the doors, fixing the alignment on the rear tire (or misaligning it to deal with your newly non-rectangular frame) and insisting that your Volvo was just fine and only in need of…

I am aware of the numbers and choose to disregard them the same way that I ignore the objective reality that the Cubs will never, ever, ever win another series up until around August or September every year.

You can't complain when you started it.

The most America sport is, and will always be, baseball. There are no ties in baseball.

Given that the speed cameras are set to enforce the informal "nine you're fine, ten you're mine" rule, that 25 mph speed limit is a de facto 35 mph speed limit (since the cameras are literally the only thing that is going to enforce this—I have never seen a surface street stop for speed in NYC). That's fine with me. …

Is Hitler dead? I guess it's just you now. Condolences.

Trick question. They don't shake hands—they throw ironic gang signs at each other.

Jesus Christ, do you even listen to yourself?

This is an incredibly sexist statement. In the aggregate, women do more housework. In the aggregate, men do more paying work. I don't know what the aggregate breakdown in hours is, overall, and neither do you.

Ford says they recalibrated turbocharger boost control, valve-timing, the intercooler, and throttle management, so while the standard Fiesta gets 123 horsepower, the Europe-only Zetec S comes with 17 more, giving it a 0-62 acceleration time of 9 seconds and a top speed of 125 mph.
