To stick with the analogy, though, they don't age well

I think I'm the only guy around here not in love with popups. Heavy at the worst place of the car, often broken, unaero. I'm not sure I like these shaded ones, but I like 944s without them.

John has addressed these problems and has apologized for them. He builds a solid performance set up and deserves respect for that. He ate crow, it's done.

Ever take it of any sweet jumps?

Until mass transit starts to take in to account how real, actual Americans want to move around, it's much more than a "minor inconvenience." I did a very detailed Cost/Benefit analysis of driving to work vs. mass transit, and even with the fact that I could ride a train that drops me off practically at my main…

Nope. I can only speak about the difference between Europe and the US as I know very little about Asia. But the way the US grew and developed makes a public transportation system outside very large city, ineffective. Even large to medium sized city's have spread out populations that make mass transit loose out to…

You missed a damn fine game. Not at all like other Metal Gear games, but frankly, it was a nice change of pace from the rest of the series.

I think you mean.......

I'm guessing the actuary tables for the Ford are based on the old body style since there's not really any good data on the new one yet. When the aluminum repairs start adding up you'll see the premiums climb for a few years to compensate. Then, after the body shops are all updated to handle the repairs it'll fall…

Now, I say this with all the love that I have for the PSP, which was (and, in its Vita successor, is) a great little system. But I just have to imagine that development meeting at Sony. A bunch of engineers like "this is a horrible idea" with an executive who got transferred from the MiniDisc division insisting that…

T-TOPS!!!!

Well, let's not pretend like the FAX is dead in the US either. A lot of documents are still only legal if sent via FAX or email in the US, and pretty much any major company will have an all-in=one printer that also has FAX functionality with the landline hooked up. Despite the technology's many shortcomings, it's…

lest we forget the last small RWD car GM built... The few people I knew that had them really liked them (they had the Pontiacs that were a little weirder looking though)

Alright guys. I must admit a guilty pleasure of mine. Even if it doesn't have near the horsepower or what-not. Just the beauty.

Nailed it.

Fortunately we got it used at a bargain: US$18,500. I don't think the resale will take too much of a hit.

I can literally hear the toilet flushing that contains the money I spent buying our (used) 2012 Volt.

400+ hp, RWD, manual trans yet only 6-10% jalop? What the shitting shit?

Most semi-truck drivers have deadlines and such. As the saying goes, time is money, and the slower you go, the more time it takes to get to a destination, and thus the more money down the drain. I'm not saying that it's OK to speed.

I wonder if there have been pile-ups of this magnitude on truck routes during the same…
