I built a stereo into my old G-body Olds for around $400. Loud enough to set off a parking garage full of alarms, and sounded 500x better than the stock stereo.

convenience? Any moron with a wrench and a van can steal wheels. It would take at least a minimal knowledge of how the thing was put together to steal the other bits.

We don't have to give up gas completely. Why not have a daily driver that runs on hydrogen, and a weekend car that still drinks 91 octane?

Yeah. Someone misunderstands fuel delivery.

Protip for hypermilers: When I set your car on fire after having to follow your pulse-and-glide BS for 10 miles, I use the gasoline out of your tank, so it ends up costing you fuel in the end. Cruise control is there for a reason.

penultimate = the one before the ultimate.

This guy deserves huge kudos for not screaming until the 3:00 mark. Intense.

Gonna have to agree here. Good toll roads are better than some stupid per-mile tax - the new ones in Texas don't even require a toll tag, they just mail you a bill.

Probably even worse. I look at the rust-free-but-squirrel-eaten '30s ford sedan down the street, and I think, "There's no way I'd ever be able to get that running." And then I never ask the guy who owns it if I can buy it off him.

The RX-8 uses a helmholtz resonator to make (I've read on the internets) ~2PSI of boost. I have no idea if it would help you in the mountains at all - my gut tells me that the thinner air would change resonance frequencies and ruin most of the effect, but I'm not a doctor.

It's not a both-directions comparison. If 100% of serial killers used to eat chex mix, does that mean 100% of chex mix eaters will eventually be serial killers?

Toronto? Your opinion on A/C is completely invalid, sorry. It's completely reasonable for you to own a car with no A/C. Not so much for people living in places with real summer.

I have never, in my entire life, seen a woman driving a cabrio. Weirdest thing, because I think they're some of the most feminine cars out there.

He wasn't riding fantastically, and he was riding in traffic.

That's why Texas is a no-fault state. It sucks for everyone who DOES pay for insurance, but otherwise you'd be stuck footing the whole bill every time you're in an accident with one of these assholes.

Motorcycling (and all driving, but only motorcycling in this rant) should require more training. If you don't know your escape routes, you shouldn't be riding.

I'm not one for badge engineering, but I'd probably pop the badges off this sucker and throw on some from a Toyota. Or a Subaru, for funsies.

If you build it on their website, the base model has no ABS. You can add it as a $250 package.
