Having spent over two months driving in Australia, I have to ask. Why the fuck would you want to deliberately subject yourself to a wrong handed car? It’s demanding enough getting used to looking the right way (literally), roundabouts, and left turns on redlights, without blinding yourself against on coming traffic.

Isnt insurance also higher for left hand drive cars over there? Driving a left hand car in right hand land also can make things like passing and drive thru, parking and intersections a real challenge.

I spent 6 months in Scotland and agree with most of your points. However, I have to disagree with your 200 mi. limit. I went back to the UK with my wife and rented a car for 4 days to get out of London. I put 800 miles on it in those 4 days. It was a 3 cylinder Vauxhall Corsa, so I didn’t go bankrupt buying petrol.

I see from the responses that none of you have ever spent any real time in London.

As an American living in England, unless you’re planning on selling the car in the UK at the end of the trip, just buy over here. $30,000 over here equates to nearly £24,000 post-Brexit and there are all manners of Alfas, Land Rovers, Porsches, Maseratis, any French car, and so on and so forth that you’ll never have a…

I’m sorry for changing it, my first response was really immature and impulsive. Corporations are not a set of privileges, they are a way to organize resources and collect revenue. Blaming the charter of incorporation is akin to blaming hospitals for disease because it happens there. Employee owned collectives are a…

Why should we, as society, care about incentivizing “top performers”

Step one determine if the sound is rotational or not. When you hear it does it vary with road speed or engine speed? Engine speed would indicate a belt or accessory as the likely cause. Road speed you’re looking at wheel bearings, tires, possibly brake pads, something that turns at wheel speed or is rubbing on…

Here’s something you can try to at least help isolate the “problem”. Jack up each wheel of the car, one at a time, and spin it by hand. If it does have something to do with a wheel, you should at least be able to tell which wheel it’s coming from.

I find it amusing when union thugs (like you must be) get all aggravated and resort to calling names whenever the union need is questioned.

Unions will always keep pushing until they eventually hit that ‘unreasonable’ breaking point where the company can’t or won’t give more. This is the point things fall apart - unions keep charging dues and fail to explain that their role now is to maintain the ‘benefits’ so dues paying union members get mad for not…

I’m going to chime in here with a direct perspective with the full disclosure that I am in the “front office” or management side of this discussion. I am a manufacturing engineer at a large American non union manufacturing plant owned and operated by a company that does have union plants, so I have good exposure to…

One word; America

It really dumbfounds me when some unions would rather see the company go down in flames than to make concessions that will allow the business to continue operations.

Unions killed the Airline Industry.

If a pun can be mistaken for an error, it’s not a very good pun.

While unions had their place back in the day, I think it has been proven very well by Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes, BMW and VW at their American plants that you can pay a living wage, benefits and bonuses without the burdensome overhead of a union. Maybe Musk should do a COLA adjustment, but otherwise I don’t think a…

I’d rather have a good in-car system on a dedicated screen integrated with the car. I’m not mounting a phone in a new Cadillac. They always look cheap and they never integrate very well. Yeah, for a quick dash around town it works and if I had an older car, I’d do it. But if you’re paying $40,000+ for a new car, it…
