Oh you mean, like, real defensive driving? My dad brought me out as a new driver into an empty parking lot, told me to accelerate, he pulled the e-brake as I was making a turn. On Ice. I had to learn to recover. Best lesson I ever got. Then he made me change the tire even though it didn't need it.

6th: I don't hate this idea. Not at all.

This is why everyone thinks BMW owners are asshats.

^This.

Thank you! Give us something thought provoking.

Hindsight being 20/20 you are right. And I can remember many occasions when I was in a situation where I should have acted and did not, however, I still wish it could be different.

Really? No one stepped in and said anything? No one? Wow.

Peking Buck. Haha. Keeping it classy. I am all for a fresh kill (deer meat prepared well is some of the best). However, road kill? Not certain that is still good.

I had never heard of this crash (well before my time). How horrible. Head Jones' advice, Wikipedia only. Even that is pretty graphic.

In my area in NC when a deer is struck, and it is still fresh, you process it. I don't do this (not big on hunting Bambi myself) but there are a lot of folks that do.

"Apparently after removing all the options he paid $49k (that included the $7500 tax break) out the door."

Well said. I see the error of their ways better now.

"The dealer had offered to buy any other car that Rene wanted and sell it to him at dealer cost"

If only. Didn't mean to upset you. Thought you were being sarcastic.

Then you will have a faster, harsher riding, ugly car.

For $28,000 there are some brand new (or very gently used) last gen 9-5 Aero's for sale. They have no warranty, but let's be honest, neither does this, whatever this is.

Your kids obviously take after their mom with the whole being awesome thing. Wow.

This kid wins on so many levels.

Probably mentioned numerous times already, however, the real solution to the problem is a manual transmission in everything. And, Miata.
