Modern automobiles are far superior to horse drawn carriages for the purposes of transportation in cities. They are safer, especially for pedestrians, require less space and are much easier to store. The fact the cities were designed for something as unsafe as carriages, and caused the streets to be covered in two…

What’s better? Electric cars? I mean it’s hard to beat a car for moving heavy things or small children around a city during the rain or snow. It is definitely hard to beat when there is a hurricane coming, and we need to get out of the city (I mean the government isn’t really going to help you evacuate if you don’t…

If you read the rest of Enginerrrrrrrrr’s comments, it was obvious they were referring to personal transportation in general. Maybe they used the phrase car to make the point, because that is the most common form of personal transportation in 2019, but the idea that cities were built around personal transportation is…

Are we ignoring the fact ‘car’ is an abbreviated form of ‘carriage’?

Personal transport has been a part of cities since before the Roman empire, and the modes of transportation used in cities for most of civilization involved beasts of burden and streets two feet deep in manure. In comparison, cars are way safer than what humans have used for most of history.

I was behind a truck the other day and couldn’t figure out what truck had such a squashed looking cab, til I got close enough to read the body colored Chevrolet text. Those things don’t even look good from behind. It’s like someone pinched the top of the cab together.

Well, we are NOT all adults. Even though my kids are past toddlerhood, I still get panic sweats if they’re around an uncovered glass.

If you ever watch carefully, when they refill your drink with water or tea the straw almost always touches the pitcher. The same pitcher that they use for everyone in the restaurant all day without washing.

How can you look at Suzuki’s crash test ratings and say we are the ones that are trash? 

Plus, he was in an open cart. There was nothing separating him from the golf cart if it decided to roll over.

Car2Go Is Trying Not To Be A Failed Experiment

a person that doesn’t track their sports car isn’t detrimental to anybody else on the road.

There is a reason sports cars have insurance rates 3-4x higher than trucks. They are more dangerous and cause more accidents. 

I was thinking about this the other day. My SUV came with auto dimming mirrors, and I am not sure I can go back to the regular kind. 

Class 3 vehicles (like a motorhome), and as such they’d be exempted from a lot of expensive, difficult safety requirements, like having airbags.

“You put 3 gallons in a well. If you hadn’t put 3 gallons of water into the well, you’d still have 3 gallons.”

So you’re proving your point by offering literally no data to the contrary then claiming, “I can’t be any more correct than I am now”? This reminds me of our current president so much. At least I offered something. You can argue numbers with numbers or facts with facts, but your case is predicated on the idea you are…

I never said the workers got the bailout money. I said the UAW did. That is a fact. Numbers don’t lie. Most of the bailout went to the UAW and instead of paying the treasury back for the money, the payments (in the form of stocks) went to the UAW. That is why the UAW remains a multi-billion dollar enterprise in and of…

You said I need to work on my writing skills. I said you need to work on your reading skills. Not sure what is hard to understand about that. 

You do realize the UAW is the biggest shareholder of GM, right? I guess you do since it has been pretty well established that the bailout mostly helped the UAW. Most of the taxpayer money went to cover the pension fund. The dividends were cut before they took the bailout and still remain 30% lower than pre-2007…
