Full Disclosure: I work for a retailer that is a competitor of Walmart and my wife works for possibly the most direct US competitor of Walmart. That out of the way...

When are these fucking Southerners going to learn how to fucking drive in the fucking snow?! Pussies.

Sorry for stealing your license fees, UK Residents.

I had the exact same traction control search with a couple guys in a C class.... Also, all of your points are completely valid and you laid out the problems down here perfectly. People who blame this all on "dumb Southerners" don't know the depths of their ignorance.

I live north of Atlanta, this was a total shit show. I'm from Boston and spent the last 10 years ski bumming it in Utah so I'd consider myself a very competent, experienced driver in snow. Luckily I work from home but that didn't stop me from jumping in my 4wd pickup and getting stupid in my empty neighborhood…

You're lack of empathy is shitty. It's not just the snow genius. It's the ice under the snow, a lack of infrastructure for dealing with this type of weather and businesses/schools letting out right as the snow hit instead of before. Since this weather is so rare down South, it doesn't pay to keep the salt, trucks and…

This one. It does not give me email or bacon as is implies.

I think it's different enough to be modern while keeping enough of the classic styling cues and overall shape to maintain appeal to current Mustang fans. Ford had to find a tough balance there and I think they've pulled it off.

so then every kid thats charging his iphone or playing a boombox during practice should be fined $500?

Honestly, I've never understood why so many people get so upset at the idea of a minivan even when they have a kid or two. They're awesome daily shuttles with kids around. Ever deal with a car seat? WAY easier in a Siena.

Nissan,

Also, since I'm on the subject of perverse engine swaps... here's what I think would be a badass commuter (high speed, long distance, high mpg).

How about jump starting a McLaren 12C if the battery dies? Electronic trunks, electronic doors, what to do? A guide:

Neutral: Fuel cells, workable in an auto application? Will we see hydrogen fuel cells in mainstream cars, or is this just a pipe dream?

So yes, Nürburgring laps are pointless.
