Honestly I'm torn on this issue. Generally when the government does something, it only ends up worse than it was before. This means, in a weird way, the lack of productivity is better than over activity.

I completely agree. People get hung up on an arms race of numbers too often and ruin perfectly good cars. My S2000 was great as was my SW20 MR2, and currently the wifes BRZ. My personal test is this, if I wouldn't take the car out when it is raining hard or snowing a bit, it's not balanced properly. On the other hand,…

Agreed, but I still DD my bike whenever not carpooling with the wife. Nothing beats inventing your own lanes/almost certainly being faster than any car around.

I have never had a situation where I did not discuss salary. That is generally a critical component for me deciding if I want to work at a company, and I am interviewing them even more than they are interviewing me. If I walk in and feel like I'm being stonewalled on information and that they believe they hold the…

He was most certainly impaired (if not drunk, possibly poorly lobotomized). To be fair though, that "parking lot" looks more like a cratered war zone, so while that impaired he may have felt the need to run for his life after the fender bender.

I see people saying things like "I would buy x and finish it with the price difference" and all I can think is that these people have never built a car to this quality. There is no way you could ever replicate this car for this price without a massive amount of sweat equity that you would never recoup. This project is…

The issue here can happen with any vehicle if you under or over torque the lugs. I would be surprised that he didn't feel it, but from the looks of his driving, he is a little out of touch with the vehicle. The way he was driving you would have thought he knew the wheel was setup to come off.

I wish my wife would learn to drive, driving manual would just be a bonus ;)

There are currently 148 people here who should not be...

Is it bad that both my wife and I think number 10 is a good idea? We may have compromised on getting her and automatic with paddle/shifter bump shifting, but she never uses it on purpose, and I never enjoy being mid corner and having it slip back into auto... we very much have a his and her driving setup.

You mean the ones that look like knock offs of Enkie's, BBS's, or ADR's? That third one down needs to be killed with fire.

I'm pretty sure that was the light pole's fault, not the Lambo's. It looks like there's an electrical arc that starts the thing burning, and since the Lambo isn't a hybrid, I seriously doubt it's the fault of it's measly 12v system.

Wow, only two of those cars would have made my list at all, and only after they were suggested to me. Of the cars I have had (including my BMW's and the wifes BRZ) I would take the following:

Simply based on your 4th point I can tell you have no materials experience and this is an impossible conversation to have. You believe my logical assumptions based on the statistics at hand can not be as accurate as your simple assumptions due to whatever illogical or moral arguments you have chosen to believe.

Move to Detroit? Is this a way of killing your employees off rather than offering severance packages? At least give them weapons of their own so they have a fighting chance and turn it into some kind of reality TV show.

Wow, now that could make me push for revolution if they tried to tell me I had to pay $130,000+ for a shitty economy car...

I don't see what is so unreasonable about wanting the car the way you ordered it. It doesn't matter if it's a $15,000 or $150,000 car. If I ordered it in a specific color/trim, paid for a specific color/trim, and was told I was getting that specific car only to be given something else, I would be upset as well. You…

Your math seems quite confused. First, only a tiny percent of people who pay taxes are cyclists (You also seem to forget that the reason the gas tax is not used exclusively is due to the average distance traveled has decreased). So if you have 40% (It's actually 51%, but I'll run with your stat) of your states funding…

Your last sentence generally sums up why your opinion is invalid.

It depends on where you live. For instance, many places that have a road tax like the US typically use the money for maintenance of all kinds as well as expansions/improvements. Typically what cyclists overlook is that damage to roads by vehicles are only really a major factor in an extremely used section (such as…
