What are you, the EPA?

As a building manager I can tell you that CCTV is rarer than you think. It is expensive to set up and maintain, and it's not always just plug and play like the home kits you can get online or in RadioShack. Also there are legal concerns with CCTV and insurance concerns due to liability, privacy, and other things.…

Nickelodeon you are the worst! I used to think you were cool back in the day. With your fun live action, Salute Your Shorts/Are You Afraid of the Dark/Etc, and cartoon shows. You are on notice. Water Tribe, out.

That was actually a rebodied '91 with the '15 body panels held on with 10mm bolts (and im not kidding). I was told by an Acura district rep at the time its top speed was like 10mph as the car would shake apart at the seams going any faster.

Needs another Avengers cameo.

What magical land do you hail from where there is no racism? Because typically I find that non-US persons who make claims such as yours have plenty of their own racism - they just don't identify it as such (whether to Muslims, Indian caste systems, etc.)

To be honest, I have had the chance to drive both a contemporary 5 series (my rental car when my IS350 was in the body shop) and a near new GS350 (my loaner when the IS350 was in for its first maintenance visit) and I can honestly say that the GS350 was miles above the Bimmer in every category including sport, luxury,…

I have a BMW.

Former owner of a 3 series and X5 here.

So I just bought one a month ago (I'm 33, go figure) and it's been a fantastic car so far. Decent pickup, plenty of room in the rear for the kids, seats are really comfortable. My only small gripe is the ride is a little harsh but I opted for the touring model with the 18" wheels so that would be expected.

The names are amazing! Some from the NYT article: Gangsta, Psycho, I Feel Nothing... and of course the one they feature, the unfortunately named Hitler.

Buying an expensive car as purely a status symbol means you suck at life.

I feel like there's this idea (reinforced by realtors and HDTV) that your first home needs to be your dream home, that you'll stay there forever- but there's a reason why first homes are called starter homes! To reinforce your point, those savings become even more important when you do own and suddenly you're…

are you pulling me over because i'm black?

As an automotive R&D engineer I don't think that the reasoning behind the certification is significant in the whole reason why we don't get certain cars in Europe, why you don't get certain in US and so on. It is far from the wonderland that one car can be sold all over the world except North America if there is a…
