The point of zippering is to fit as many cars on the road as possible, and then when merging you take turns evenly from both lanes. That way the jam doesn't back up as far(so people like car 6 can get out at there exit rather than having the jam start half a mile earlier).

Everyone please note, this is when lanes merge! These rules do NOT apply to turning lanes! Because unlike 2 lanes merging, when you zoom in from of the liners in a turning lane, you're also creating congestion for through traffic.

As a scotch fan, and pretty much all my friends who also like scotch will agree, green is better than blue. Blue isn't bad, but it's not worth the price.

I agree with you 100%, which is why I really like the trick roof on the 997 Targa:

The mistake you made is thinking that the 911 is primarily pandering to sports car enthusiasts. But actually, 911's sell mostly to old rich men as a daily driver that is meant to be comfortable and livable. They don't want to deal with an erector set every time it looks like it might rain. While the 911 is still a…

Mercedes also...

If only southern California had their shit together...

Right, but at an auto-show you're pretty much guarantee'd that your audience is full of people who care about cars and understand why lighter is better. When this is being marketed to the general public or in showrooms, weight savings most likely won't be mentioned. (Especially when so many people think a heavier car…

I'll tell you how. You don't market that the car is 200 lbs lighter. You market it as faster, more "agile", and better fuel economy than the old car. If some one cares enough to know how you've done it you point out all the engineering that made it lighter.

What other brands have such a trick targa roof?

I hope they get rid of the weird A pillar and put on some regular shaped headlights like you did with this shop. It looks fantastic.

Give it some normal headlights, get rid of the weird A pillars, slightly less chunky wheels, and call it a day. Looks great!

Uhg.... thanks for ruining my breakfast.

It's not that hard....

You'd think people who owned it would be the ones who pronounced it correctly....

Yeah and so is Adidas, yet everyone in Australia pronounces it "ahh-dee-dahs". I know Porsch-uh is correct, but then making maters worse, most people who tend to pronounce it that way also tend to over-emphise the 'uh', which I think is where the whole pretentiousness comes from.

In fairness it's pretty much never snowed where I live.

Although it might be technically correct, calling a Porsche a "porsh-uh" in the US sounds kind of pretentious....

hi-yun-die, in fairness, is how it is spelt.

People who call Audi's "oddies" make me want to kill myself.
