Corporate ethics policies frequently prohibit not only things that are clearly unethical, but also those that appear to be unethical. This is a textbook example of why things that appear to be unethical are often as troublesome as those that are indisputably unethical.

It’s possible to “know the market” and still vote CP. It just means that I think the market is nuts.

A raspberry S10. I’m gay, and there’s just no way I’d be caught dead in this thing. The truck part says “I’m trying to look straight.” The pink part says “but I just couldn’t pull off.”  (This isn’t his, btw.... no way either one of us would drive the minivan next to it.)

Two things I was taught in motorcycle safety classes (gotta get that insurance discount, you know): 1) Assume nobody sees you, and 2) never box yourself in. Lane splitting is illegal in PA. Even if it weren’t, I’d probably avoid it. If a driver makes a mistake, there is no escape from the consequences.

In the days before self-cancelling signals, the sound also served as an audible reminder that the signal is on. They could have put the hardware under the hood where it wouldn’t have been heard.

Where’s a bad place to hold a bike race?

How many *hard* launches, that is

400 lb-ft of torque through two wheels in a chassis that was built for around 250 lb-ft through four wheels. How many had launches until the doors refuse to open?

A shining example of why republican fiscal policies do not work.

Too nice and unique for a kid to ruin. Plus, she’d hate the RHD. Anything requiring driver interaction would be a hassle.

1. Space. A car collection takes an obscene amount of space, even more if you do your own wrenching.

Recently sold my ‘05 Accord V6/6-speed/Navi coupe with 193,000 miles for $3000. Similar condition. It took a couple of days to sell it on Craigslist.

The motorized “mouse” belts ran in a channel above the door opening and were not attached to the door itself. Shoulder belt only, so your knees were still vulnerable. Getting out of the car too quickly would cause the belt to wrap around your neck and/or knock your glasses off.

I’m 6'1", 325 lb. My size has never caused a component in any of my vehicles to break, and that includes the ‘05 Accord coupe that I owned for 150,000 miles. Poor design is no excuse for poor customer service.

The difference between invoice and MSRP for a car you might consider typical for Wal-Mart customers (other than the signature Pontiac Grand Am with rattle-can flat paint and custom tail lights), a Chevrolet Cruze, is around $750. Even considering dealer holdback, how could giving $350 of that to an intermediary…

I don’t want a hybrid Mustang. I want an AWD V8 Mustang, please.

I’m curious about long-term durability. There’s no such thing as a frictionless fluid, so over time, the characteristics of those pinholes will change.

Honda seems to get it. They’ve offered a top-of-the-line Accord EX V6/6-speed coupe for years. Mine’s an innocent-looking ‘05 with 190,000 miles that still blows away an unsuspecting WRX now and then. 

Unless you’re a 65-year-old retired doctor or his vapid bombshell of a third wife, I don’t think you’re part of the 911's target market.

Chrysler did its best to sabotage the brand, first by assembling a  hodgepodge of cars that would make the Island of Misfit Toys proud, then by internal competition. The Plymouth Laser was a last-minute addition, as was the Chrysler Concorde. Both were likely added to appease Chrysler-Plymouth dealers, who really…
