My first thought was "how can you not see a cement truck coming right at you?!" My next thought was I'm at happy that turned in front of a cement truck rather than a motorcycle.

You can never go fast enough.

I get the feeling that your average Corolla buyer doesn't really care about all this. Reading this was like reading a comparison of last year vs this year's microwave oven. The only questions are does it heat food and how long will it last.

I'm going to with the continuing story of Fukushima.

Not so much a valve cover. It's more a flat head.

Hybrid SUV is a great idea. The majority of these things are fashion statement driven by people who need the utility of a minivan but don't think a minivan fits their "lifestyle". If you're not pulling a boat or trailer around, or going off-road then you're just getting the SUV because you like the way it looks. Why…

I believe those are boxes of ammunition and loaded magazine clips for th guns.

Front wheel drive, Wait? What?!

Thanks for that bit of information. I learned something about Japanese culture to day that was truly interesting. Usually when people are posting something about Japanese culture in the interweb it's aimed more shocking us than informing.

"I actually think there's probably also a large segment of people who want the smallest, fastest thing they can get". I don't think we're a large segment of the population gauging the popularity of SUVs, but we are a segment.

It hurts to look at that crashed Daytona. I can't imagine how the owner felt. Cars like that always get rebuilt though.

I like small cars, but micro-cars always have a cartoon come to life aspect to them that makes them hard to take seriously.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and say that rivets were used because they were the most structurally sound method for fastening aluminum panels at the time. The heliarc process was invented in 1944. Rivets are still stronger because you don't have to deal with the varying metal hardness that causes fatigue…

I'd almost forgotten the "have you driven a Ford lately" campaign, as Ford tried to live down the the reputation of the malaise era Pintos and whatnot. The "No! come back! we've changed!" ad campaign. I always saw the Tauras as being nothing but compromise. Not many kids grow up thinking "Some day I'm going to get a…

If you have to ask, you obviously can't afford one. I'd have to assume that as complexity goes up so does purchase price followed by and exponential rise in repair costs. But if you're the type that lights cigars with 100 dollar bills...
