Well they can. When I was hypermiling in my Freightliner, (Okay not really hyper, but trying to conserve fuel,) I would kick it back to 50-55 all the way to the right when someone needed to pass. Why? Well basic human decency for one, but also because once this load get where it is going I have drive right back…

Thanks for that story, and the LD link.

Amen to that.

Well the good have to get from the railhub to the destination somehow.

Those riders are already doing that.

Yawn. I used to drive professionally, and yes people treat truckers like shit. One of the reasons I don't do OTR is because of a lack of time for the family. If this guy can't handle that, then maybe he should find another line of work. I have next to no sympathy for Harold.

In California and Washington, at least, the day care for two kids can easily be more than rent. I am not talking about some high-end Montessori bullshit, either.

Thanks for that perspective.

How?

The silver lining on a the cloud that is our state fucked up laws. Lane-sharing should be legal everywhere.

I have used similar products and they do help, but they don't trigger all lights.

yes the early ones are prettier

Hey, if you have someone to do periodic maintenance or can do it yourself, a Fairmont or Malibu should be a fine auto. The Fairmont takes all kinds of Fox-Body Stang upgrades and doesn't ddraw attention to itself.

I am going with complete idiot. It was an Excursion, which doesn't make him an idiot, certainly ups the chances.

Subarus are still fun to drive. Oh wait, you said Japanese "Competitors". Lil ole Subaru isn't really a competitor, I suppose.

Well the sedan was the more practical choice with the Yaris, at least when they were introduced to the US, because the only other option was a 3 door hatch. All three of those cars, (I have yet to test the Fiesta) are awkward and annoyingly un-car like in the driving experience. An old Civic at least feels like a…

They way I have to bend my right leg to adjust for proper length on the left (Clutch) side makes for painful contact with the center console. (Think about the way you have to sit because you firewall the clutch pedal all day long, but you rarely firewall the brakes and accelerator.) My Mazda6 was bad too, (And the…

No, the ass is more offensive to me than the Grin. The sides blend with the bumper in a similar fashion to a lastGen Cavalier, and the squish-swoop-extend past the bodywork lights make me sick. Not sure if that is Kodo Design Language or not, but it is gross. I also hate that C-pillar. If I drive a wagon/hatch, I…

Or the Forte Sedan.

I hate the Fit, but I agree with your answer. I wonder if they made a sedan version if it would sell.
