They also do not consider blind spots. The current (2011+) Kia Sportage is the car I had the most close calls in because the A-pillars are a mile wide and the side mirrors block a very large portion of the side window corner from top to bottom. I would some times be unable to see cars or pedestrians to the front but…

Haven't had time to take care of it yet, but kind of afraid to. Nearest Speed dealer is in Phoenix, and they'll probably want to charge me an arm and a leg for stuff the other dealer broke. Probably going to have to send emails to corporate."

"My wife's RX350 CPO had a weird thing with the transmission where if you were coasting for a 5 second or so in the right conditions when you applied the gas it would do nothing for 2 seconds and then wham it would jump forward. Had to bring it in again and again, they told me it was probably something the…

Never mind, he's the prime minister. Not sure why I thought he was just over Tokyo...

Excellent summary of the situation.

Apologies were retracted as well. It's annoying because Japan apologies then retracts the apology and claims the women volunteered. Abe is particularly bad about saying this. Sooner or later Japan will apologize again then another politician there will retract it and the cycle will repeat. Also, if Japan hasn't…

You might feel differently if you were a Korean living in Korea. Also, it seems to me that it is more of a respect of the venue. I don't think it would have been canceled had it been somewhere else.

Anything with the rising sun flag sets many Koreans off, but if the event was held elsewhere, I'm guessing it wouldn't have been canceled over it.

They have actually said recently and repeatedly that the women volunteered. Nothing upsets my wife and her mom more than when that is on the Korean news. Abe is a complete xenophobe and jackass. He's been attacking manga and anime as well increasing general racism in Japan. It's amazing how much power and influence he…

Japan colonized Korea prior to WWII. They did many horrible things to the Koreans during those times. Now you get the occasional apology from some Japanese politician followed up by another politician saying they aren't sorry and the bad things didn't happen. At the same time, South Korea has several politicians that…

Keep dreaming. Mitsu couldn't figure out that any Eclipse with the Evo engine and drive train would have been amazing!!!! It was such a sad day when they killed the turbo, AWD Eclipses...

It feels like they're trying to be an expensive Nascar. We don't want that. Bring on the tech!

Aside from lining up nicely with the renderings we've already seen, this first spy pic gives us a sense of the Slingshot's size, which fits somewhere between a CanAm Spyder and an Ariel Atom. Just a shame the shooter got crazy with the HDR mode.

Aren't the horsepower figures for those vintage cars gross hp instead of net, let alone SAE net? 500 hp in today's SAE net world is much more than 500 hp in the 60s gross hp world.

Probably a very used VW Phaeton or worse, a Passat.

Part of the blame here belongs with YouTube or whoever causes portrait videos to have black sides online. The videos playback just fine on phones and tablets until they go on YouTube.

I don't get the head gasket thing. I guess my family has been really lucky because we've never had that problem on any of ours nor has anyone we know. I'm not saying you're wrong but either there's a way to avoid this problem (or delay it) or I know a lot of lucky people.

I guess my view when I asked was why tell people to drive gently in breakin rather than just leave out the breakin from the manual? I was thinking what's the liability in not tell people to drive gently for breaking as opposed to what's the liability to telling people to drive hard during breakin?

The last STI was garbage.

I was cross shopping the STI and the Prius until just now.
