@1:08- Typical cyclist.

Thank you for a very level-headed and objective overview of this potential. I agree, the infrastructure would have to be have to be incredible, especially if video storage would be a goal. I think there would be greater concern if the rear-camera AND satellite connectivity were made mandatory to manufacturers but…

We sold my wife's E46 330i to build her an E30. She wanted to learn how to work on her own car and wanted a smaller, fun car to have around town. I think I have the best wife ever.

So, what you're saying is that Poseidon had better watch out. We're bringing democracy to the oceans via the 'Merican U.S. Navy.

I haven't researched it enough but can you point to an auto union that has supported a republican candidate? Acting out of self or party interest is the nature of any side of politics. I'm a republican but I would also be surprised if the situation was reversed and a democrat didn't do everything possible to keep a…

Why can't the nose slope gracefully down to the height of a normal car, instead of it's current chevy silverado level?

That's exactly what I was going to say.

5.) Mercedes-Benz S-Class

I live in Idaho (truck heaven), the new dodge pickups use a crappy clutch that can't hold the torque. Most people who do the exhaust delete and any kind of chip also have to put a heavier clutch in or try to baby their clutches until they die- usually within 5k miles.

I didn't know about the STi bits but I almost bought a 9-2x Aero after I sold my bugeye wrx and though I love all things Saab, I didn't like the 9-2 very much. The seats were bricks compared to my wrx and I thought it was louder inside than the wrx as well. I thought I would love the 9-2 but after putting almost 180k…

I didn't know the Excursion was controversial. My dad has owned four of them, all with the 7.3L and daily drives them. I've grown up with them and love them.

Carbon Motors...

At least the author of this piece isn't bitter about it...

I live in Boise. There are at least two here that I know of, maybe three.

Oregon definitely has the lowest fees and registration rates of any state I have lived in. I believe it's still about $86 every two years to keep a car registered and $15 for title transfer. It didn't cost me very much to switch cars as long as I transferred my plates to my new car every time.

It depends on where I live. I grew up in Oregon- no sales tax. I went through a dozen different cars in highschool and college just because I could switch cars and not have to worry about paying extra taxes. Granted, they were cheaper cars but I always thought about resale. I've lived in Washington, California and now…

0.8l engine, not 0.08. I was scratching my head at an 80cc diesel making that much power.

Anything from Zagato. the Z4 is good, but the Vantage is amazing.

Being from Oregon, it is annoying in the summer to wait in line for an attendant. On the other hand, when there's 12" of snow on the ground in the winter, rolling down the window enough to slide a credit card out is very nice.

These aren't $100k machines. Those combines are from the 70's and 80's. They can be found for a few thousand or less. Most of them aren't worth much because of how inefficient they are compared to leasing a much newer machine. A lot of old combines and swathers sit on the farm for years and years unused.
