Would be a lot more useful if it was flat. Just sayin
Agree, here is NYC it is illegal to bike with both headphone in. (1 is ok) There is a reason major races like marathon and triathlons don't allow music players. It is just not safe.
I don't think most car buyers could give a flip about whether the Treasury has money still in GM or not. Consumers want a good car, that is it.
Motorcycles are nimble and good for getaways, but cash is heavy, and there is only so much you can carry on a bike.
My old truck was a Nissan Titan with manual locks so I am "that guy" that doesn't fit your examples, not keyless and manual locks. I would always lock the door from the inside when exiting. On a few occasions I would jump back in the truck to get something out, put my keys on the seat, and then close the door…
One big benefit about the keyfob is you can't lock your keys in the car. That alone makes it worthwhile for me.
I did read the article. At least for me the daily convenience more than out weights any worries about a car thief. In any event I have insurance to cover the car if it is stolen, so no big deal. Plus you can't lock your keys in the car. That alone is worth it for me.

I thought keykobs were stupid until I got a rental Prius the other week. I would never take the key out of my pocket all day. Just touch the grooved spot on the door handle, and it unlocked. Push button start. When I got out, just touched the door handle again to lock it. It was really convenient, and a feature I…
If civil defense counts as police, then I nominated the Chrysler-Bell Victory Air Raid Siren. Does your siren needs its own dedicated V-8 engine, I didn't think so. The farting noise at the start is just with the engine at idle, not at operating rpm.
I feel like I should like this car. Its practical, competes with the Prius, but it just feels lacking. Maybe it is the silver color, but the exterior just doesn't do a single thing for me (besides the Aston grill). I think it is like the Fiesta, where is needs bright colors to breath some life into it. The blue…
Put the car in park and turn off the engine.
I feel like this feature would be better as an "Would you do A or B?" When the only option is do A in a cool car of course everyone is going to do A. But if it is do A or B, at least it gives commenters the option of debating the merits of two different choices. Such as "Would you rather drive a Caterham through…
