Part of Teslas issue with the stores is the state laws though. In Va for instance, I spoke with the store manager about 2 years ago while I was training in McLean. He told me state law prevents them from talking about pricing, test drives, sales, and servicing. Basically, the store is just there so prospective buyers…

I totaled a 2012 Lexus CT200h with nearly 80k miles like 6 months ago. That cars salvage value was higher than $12k. Customer was shocked how much his car was still worth.

$12,000 for a 2014 Prius is a steal anywhere I've even been...

I think until we have Minority Report style roads and vehicles. I won’t trust autonomous tech, simply because no matter how many sensors or cameras you have the infrastructure we have isn’t set up to handle it. Working in insurance, I see far too many accidents related to drivers trusting their blind spot system or…

Maryland is a hands free only state. At least it used to be, I’d freak out anytime I crossed the VA border on 495 and saw a Maryland state trooper hanging out near the sign while driving to BWI.

Wipeout 64 was the first game I ever got for my N64, loved it. I tried to convince my parents to buy a PS1 just so I could play Jet Moto. I really wish they would bring a series like Burnout or Rush back for modern consoles. I miss those cool arcade racers of 15 or so years ago.

They need to address fuel economy. Ford keeps putting out ads about how great their mileage is with the turbo motors. Make a 30 second spot comparing real world driving and showing that while on paper the F150 looks better it's actually sucking gas compared to a GM 5.3. Or they could always point out how much of a…

I live within 5 minute walk of the Roosevelt stop, getting around isn’t an issue. Only time I’ve taken the bus was when guests came to town and didn’t feel like walking, I’ve got a thing against buses/cabs/ubers but not trains.

Lived in DC for 5 years and never went to a Skins game. I find it interesting that people would want to go to one sober though, I mainly go to Steelers games to tailgate with the same group of Pittsburgh residents each year and hide the fact that I’m a Caps fan. I think we need to pass through laws, if a team takes…

I jumped off my couch when Sagan took that brief lead. It was a very exciting final 10k to watch, I hope this years tour will continue to produce great fights like the last 2k.

I still can’t comprehend that my 2008 model Toyota will be 10 years old next year since its build date was in 2007. I still think the 90's was around 10 years ago, and I’m certainly not ready for the prospect of saying I’m 30 in 3 years. I mean the 80's were only 20 years ago, right?

I won’t lie, on top of being frustrated that I’m still not used to central time and missing the first 60 mins of the race, I got up to have FS1 telling me that LeMas was to be only yet golf was playing. Then I had to play find the channel with FS2 because on our AT&T network we don’t get FS2 in HD and I have no idea…

My grandfather passed away from colon cancer when he was 84, he used to work out at White Sands doing radar while all sorts of testing was going on. I’ll always remember the story he told me of seeing an A bomb test, he swore it was like looking at the world with X ray vision. While I don't doubt that working around…

Outside of driving dynamics on back roads, how does it stack up against its rivals in other aspects. Would a reasonable person who wants to lease an entry level luxury sedan have any reasons to choose this over a C300 or 330i? My fiancé will be getting a vehicle allowance through her job after grad school and I’ve…

Part of the reason I purchased an FR-S was the VIN snob in me. I almost went with a Genesis coupe, but preferred to have something built in Japan. Whether it’s true or not I just feel cars made in Japan are up to higher standard than anything coming from North America or elsewhere in Asia.

Most JDM brands have a service bulletin at their dealer body shops stating that if you install a used quarter panel/roof/structural part the corrosion warranty is invalidated on the unibody. As an insurance adjuster who actually takes the I-Car classes, I write proper estimates but I can’t tell you how many people I…

I always disliked how the diagrams and graphics you see online showcase how to do it. I've got pretty wide feet and rarely ever let my heel off the floor regardless of driving situations, so back when I had my FR-S I used the ball of my foot for the brake and outside of my foot to hit the gas. I feel like that's a…

My fiancé works in orthotics and prosthetics, about 25% of her patients are from motorcycle accidents. I'm not allowed to have a motorcycle, but road bikes, mountain bikes, and dirtbikes are all ok. It's other drivers that worry her she says and I strongly wish to have a motorcycle one day. I've watched my dad in the…

I work in insurance, within the next few years it won’t be uncommon for us to have a scan tool that we run for the info stored in the car in the day before, of, and after the accident so that insurers can help with assigning liability, denying claims, etc... Our cars store pretty much all driver input now and some…

True story; I grew up in coastal VA, heavy military area where the majority of white and Asian people are conservative and people of color are liberal. One of the top guys at my high school ended up going to college with me in DC and used to wear all kinds of McCain Palin shirts and was in with the college…
