Personally, I think both are an invasion. I understand the airline policies but perhaps I don't agree with their methods. As far as being searched when entering an amusement park, well, that depends on where you live and if there is more of a climate of concern regarding terrorism. Where I live, we don't have searches…

You're kinda missing the point. It is our right, nay responsibility, to ask these questions. ANY increase in governmental powers that directly intrude on the person is cause for concern. NO MATTER HOW NOBLE THE END. We all agree we want an outcome of fewer DWI accidents; we may not allow further erosion of privacy…

Don't let them fool ya, size does matter.

Introducing the new... Ferrmaro!!!

It's not so much the Camaro shape I don't like as it is the overly busy nature of the design. I understand thats the current fad but... i don't like it.

Right... I mean we can speculate but until we have rel world data on the impacts, it's going to be a total guessing game. There will be other issues that will be very difficult, or impossible, for us to predict, much less find solutions for, until we have enough of them on the road.

Exactly. There's no satisfaction in flipping off a microwave.

Being cut off by a driver-less vehicle for the first time is going to be an interesting experience....

That's true... an electric supercharger. Unless the system is truly a turbo that is only electric assisted at low RPM.

Uh no. I've seen how they "park by feel".

The very thing that makes this great is, unfortunately, why it won't/ can't sell in the US. It's cheap because it's simple. No / crash standards or testing, no / very limited emissions requirements, no or limited safety equipment (ABS, air bags), no fear of being sued by every soccer mom in the planet when her…

I am no longer in the target demographic of this blog.

So now we'll have cases to make it thicker... and the smart ones will add in some weight too.

So they've ruined rock music and now they'll ruin our cars?

Based on that description of Gen Y, here is my vehicle suggestion.

Russian Pitbull?

The degree of a free market is always a continuum, true, but it's still an example, say relative to the mobile phone market, of a state-run system that has serious issues as a result, essentially a closed market. The oil industry has many issues, the meddling of nations is what keeps oil high, not market forces.

Well.. I agree with the quality issue, I've been reading this blog for several years, I have a COTD of the day or two, I think the average contributor age has dropped to about 22. Nothing wrong with 22 year olds but, you know, I pick up on the lack of a more mature perspective. Then again, it's Gawker, so wtf should I…

it was implied.

Good job. Now, back to work on your thesis.
