Potential problem: Get a dent in your body panel battery? The battery no longer works and will probably catch fire immediately.

Abusing rental cars is a time-honored tradition.

This one has sick pictures of cars and trucks on it:

Duly noted.

This was featured on Top Gear recently. They each had a supercar, and kept losing at the drag strip to riced-out Jettas and ratty(but souped up) pickups owned by the fire department or something.

Are those numbers specific to the USA? Many places still use leaded gas. Also, 34,000 car crash deaths per year sounds awfully low for the whole world.

Think you may have the wrong video for #2.

Neutral: I currently have no desire for a car without a steering wheel. That being said, I'm 24 years old. I expect to be driving for at least another 50 years. Will it be easy to buy a new car with a steering wheel in 50 years, or will it severely restrict your options, like finding a car with a manual…

Yes.

I see. I had a 2012 Outback as a loaner car once. I think the parking brake would automatically release if you tried to drive away with it still set.

The Subaru hill holder uses the regular brakes, not the parking brake.

Using your turn signals should be a habit. You should do it without thinking about it at all. If you're consciously making a decision whether or not to use them based on the current conditions, you're doing it wrong. All you have to do is move you pinkie finger a few inches from the wheel. It's not that hard.

Edit: Oops, not a video.

This is considerably less stupid than having an engine in the football.

Model T: Good driver's car, in the sense that only a true enthusiast would drive one in this day and age. Not a great handling car, as far as I'm aware.

I'm aware of that. My response was solely concerning the power aspect, not fuel economy.

You forgot the part where they also planned on kidnapping congressmen and the president.

Transmissions don't affect the power measurements. They'll affect power at the wheels, but that's not where the manufacturers measure it.

I doubt that anyone's currently very amped up about this new Cadillac. Their customers will have a lot of resistance to paying that much for this car. Watt were they thinking?

Thanks for your informative response. Even if the officer's only assigned to a couple of square miles, they're still driving/riding/walking around those few square miles all day, right? It doesn't matter if I'm driving across the state or driving around the block over and over, if I drive for 8 hours I'll be getting…
