Hell. No. The Escape? No, not a chance. "...either version should provide a nice balance of practicality and fun."

I can certainly appreciate your point regarding the importance of tires over AWD, but man you seem to have a hate on for AWD. I'm genuinely curious though, what AWD systems do you consider total BS, and which ones awesome?

$2?! *{^*(%$! Cost me $3 Canadian.

Have you ever had one? It's one option I never knew I needed until I got it on my current car. In -40C, along with the heated seats, it makes the drive bearable. I don't think I'll ever buy another car that doesn't have it now.

Why is horse so high on the list? I tried Horse steak when I was in Switzerland, and it was fantastic. It was pretty normal for them to eat it.

The asphalt problem has not been fixed. Yes, there are a number of places that use rubberized asphalt, but its not used in lieu of asphalt cement, its an additive that helps make the pavement quieter and its primary use is to reduce the number of tires in a landfill.

It can be a little misleading, but they may mean the same thing as there are two common concrete's that don't always get called the proper name. Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete (HMAC) is typically called asphalt (a flexible pavement), and is a mix of asphalt cement (bitumen) and aggregate, placed using compaction; it would…

It's a bit of of a dumb thing to take to court in the first place. Sure, the engineers could have designed for all "potential" events like a plane attack, or a nuclear attack, but the cost would be prohibitive. They design the building to be functional, with a substantial factor of safety that would cover ordinary…

I wonder whether this thing would be affected by the cold, it's -30 here today. I looked at the sites FAQ, but no mention. It sure would be nice not having to dig out my keys, but I wonder how the electronics would handle the weather.

There's always this an option in your shop.

He is by no means a P.Eng. or P.E. He briefly studied engineering at University before dropping out. Not saying he isn't capable, but he certainly is not a licensed engineer, let alone a graduate.

I seriously thought that said Yam at first, and couldn't understand the fascination with potatoes. ...
