The comprehensive list of people saved by loud pipes:

Worst accident was a head-on accident when riding my motorcycle. The other party was not fully invested in driving (distracted) and turned left without looking for me. I hit his right front corner, flipped over the bars and impacted the car on the a-pillar with my back. The damage to the car at the bumper level was

Not only do people think that automated cars commonly exist, they think that carmakers are sneaking automation on-board new cars without telling (or charging) customers.

I’ve had the “Well you don’t know what they can do to your car while you’re driving” talk with more than one person, one insisted that my manual

As a driving instructor, I have to say that in certain situations, its often panic that locks people up. They get frightened because they feel that what is happening shouldn’t be happening. This often comes down to lack of confidence, lack of familiarity or lack of skill.

This country has a testing system based for

I think there’s a majority of people that do not want to actively drive. Driving is the ends-to-a-means to getting from Point A to Point B. People set their GPSes to fastest route, and the idea of driving the scenic route is completely foreign.

Those people don’t have the desire to drive properly. And since we don’t

“Is that marijuana I smell?”

I’m not one to defend the use of touchscreens when knobs and buttons are a better applications, and certainly when I feel that touchscreens are overused, but being pulled over because a cop thought something wasn’t stock is nothing new.

Currently, the tune playing for me is “non-stock headlights”. My car came with

NOTHING has worked like weed for me. Im sick of being a guinea pig. When I get my first aura, I seek out my fun friends.

Maybe. Does your TV have a USB jack as well? This is how I have my SNES and NES hooked up.

What is cheating and what is game mechanic? If the game glitches and all your weapons disappear, is it cheating to have a backup in the bank-character using a weapons duplicate bug (Dead Island, looking at you...)... NO.

There are vulnerabilities EVERYWHERE. People want vulnerabilities. They want cars that can be

Even if your car has tire pressure monitoring built in, it’s likely a binary system: Either your tires are fine, or they need air.

Two jobs, normal chores (2+ weekly hours of laundromat, 12+ weekly hours of dishes and cooking, 12 weekly hours of exercise, etc). I honestly don’t know how people fit enough in the hours of a day without doing this once a week.

My record is 72 hours with 3 hours sleep.

Best (handheld) controller ever made, IMO. I’ll be getting the white to compliment the black one i have (and to get rid of the inferior standard controller)

Yup, it’s like the manufacturer is at fault if you dont take care of your stuff..

If you use the rechargeable packs correctly, they last many, many cycles. Years.

Don’t put the controller away discharged, the pack will naturally discharge below the level where it can be charged after only a few weeks. Most devices have aggressive cut-off levels to prevent this and shut down a device from draining

You may not personally have made the bed, but the industry in general chose this method for selling cars.

It’s uncommon to see people haggle at supermarkets and restaurants for a reason. And to be honest, with my shopping experience 2 years ago, I wouldn’t trust a dealer with any information, because it was commonly

Garmin has had “adventurous” mode on their zumo GPSes for years. It works well outside of cities. Inside of cities, turn the damn thing off.

As for the “purity” of riding without? No such thing. Its a moving map vs. crayon on a map. The pre-planning is the same. Selection of roads and stops is the same. The route isnt

I did. It was either that or *work* at work.

Why does a door locking have to sound so similar to a horn designed for use in emergencies?

Lets see, it took Chrysler over a year to offer a replacement for a Takata Airbag, yet no way of turning it off to avoid this dangerous shrapnel issue. In fact, the way I had to fix it was to buy another car. Recommendation was to drive another car. For a year... 

All vehicles are good for now...
