@Fedaykin528: Alphanumeric... because the Japs and Europeans do it on all their luxury models. Nothing says luxury like not being named.

@Anthony Farson: Thats what Hitler said.

It must not have been a GM vehicle, OnStar does this with internal, factory installed hardware.

@DustyButt: By that logic the so-called "war" in Afghanistan and Iraq are not wars either. It is an act of military police. Only congress has the authority to declare war.

@CubemonkeyNYC: Maybe, for the sake of brevity it may seem as though I deemed asphalt as an invention of war. No, what I meant was that the war (WWII) was the driving factor for infrastructure that would seed the way for further technologies.

@micah1_8: Enhance, enhance, enhance...

@ImmaLion: It should be called the Michael Jackson effect, because he was lit on fire during a rehearsal?

@CubemonkeyNYC: War is the reason you have paved roads, electricity, and enough money to afford a computer and it's even the reason the compute itself was invented. If it weren't for WWII this country and the world would be 50-75 years behind where it is today, technologically that is.

I know a Polish Mechanic, he immigrated to the US in his 20's now in his 50's. His account of seeing a V8 for the first time was quite interesting. Though he said it was a late 50's Cadillac and I sometimes can't believe the sheer size of those GM big blocks myself.

Finally, a mini that would be socially acceptable for a man to drive. Besides the original of course.

@Nicole Burke: Most modern (and even not so modern) cities have two separate systems for excess water. A storm sewer and a sanitary sewer. The storm sewer just dumps into the closest body of water, the sanitary sewer gets treated and then dumped into the water or injected a few thousand feet under ground among other…

@tonyola: The South Florida Metro area encompasses parts of 3 counties. From West Palm to Homestead and a distance of about 100 miles. Miami is very different from West Palm and this survey is based on cities. If the entire area of Dade county was considered Miami, Jacksonville would still be larger by population.

@Spasticteapot: Diesel has higher BTU output per unit of volume. Thats why it has better efficiency.

Ok GM, you could find a quick fix for the steering wheel being on the wrong side but you couldn't get a column shifter?

@Ryan_Long: The San Francisco area voters have thrust their horrible politics on the rest of the nation. This person is hated by moderate Dems and Republicans alike. I'm talking none other than Nancy Pelosi, the wicked witch of the Bay area.

Tennessee Street waltz anyone? I could go for a Bullwinkles liquor pitcher right now.

@Tossed Mazda3hatch's Chicken Salad all over Accord's face with a plate of croutons and Bleu Cheese dressing: Yeah but it'll be the opposite if you put it on the other side.

@phoenix_AE: Slicks get the most traction, I couldn't agree more.

@brandegee: You mean Fiat.

@SpikeJnZ + GT35R = Love: I thought that was the Auschwitz diet.
