I say hooray to this driver! Around here, drivers who smoke just throw the (still lit) butts out the window.

I love my car because it is fun to drive. It's fun to drive fast, it's fun to drive slow. There are a ton of intangibles, but I've managed to quantify a few reasons.

My Sears lawn tractor will lift the front wheels if I pop it into gear. It'll also lock up the brakes if you try hard enough (and I do).

In 2004 I bought a new VW R32. I had been driving a 1996 Nissan 200SE-R which was a blast to drive, but definitely a step below the VW.

Victory has a limited edition of Golden Monkey which they've aged in used chardonnay barrels. It's called White Monkey and it's delicious.

On roads with 3 or more lanes, I was under the impression the rightmost was a merge/exit lane for people who just entered the highway or were leaving soon. The next one over was for travel and the remaining lanes for faster travel and/or passing. It's been decades since I took driver's ed, but it matches what I've…

We've all seen the seemingly crazy person who merges onto the highway at around 45mph, then cuts over to the leftmost lane asap and spends the next 1/2 mile getting all the way up to 61 or so in the left lane.

Things fall at the same speed because the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass. Algebraically, the mass of the object is cancelled out.

Actually, human nature is to drive at a speed that's comfortable for the driver. When I drive a curvy highway (76West from Philly to King of Prussia) with cruise control on, I will see people who fly past me on the straights and then slow down in front of me in the turns. It's not that they are anywhere near the…

My rule of thumb... if I can't stay between the lines when parked next to an asshat, I don't park there. Consequently, I never have sarcastickies (by 3M) on my windows.

My guess is that he's got a phone in his left hand and he's holding it off camera. It's a genius move... there's no way anyone will ever guess that he is driving distracted.

Great information, but I don't follow on the bit about braking later because you've downshifted. In my car (and every other car I've driven), I can lock up the brakes. This means that I can achieve maximum possible deceleration with just the brakes. Being in a higher gear might mean I can use less brake pedal (and…
