If the system is reliable and I'd be keeping the vehicle for a long time (driving the vehicle to where its value is almost diminished to 0%) it might be worth getting the eyesight package if it ever saves you from fixing a cracked bumper or replacing expensive broken trim/headlight pieces or minorly bjorking the…

Just out of curiosity, is that a field that you work in? I took a controls class last semester for my engineering degree and thought it was my most favorite class up to that point and what you just said really piqued my interest.

Living in Alabama, I'm not surprised to see our ranking. Even with Huntsville and it sucking the sweet tit of the defense industry is not enough to pull the overall state into a higher percentile. Seriously though, people are miserable here.

Correction: They weren't thinking at all.

This is a valid point.

I was raised by a devout Christian mother and maybe I'm just hardwired to be like this because of how her beliefs influenced me, but I am a Christian, too. That doesn't mean I associate with a church (pastor actually approached my mom to have an affair with him when I was little and then made my mom out to be the…

The only thing noticeable about college is people usually have worse hygiene habits than they did in high school.

Was going to say the same thing about the burn out. Really not needed on street tires.

Jeep will respond by using chalk to draw a massive Wrangler in a mall parking lot.

Pass.

A friend of mine that I made while I was interning at a nuclear power plant took on a project like this and he really enjoyed it. I couldn't believe the MPGs he got for so little effort. The batteries were fading at over 400,000 miles, but it was still pretty incredible.

Eh, the driving experience for a manual transmission is only as good as the engine it's mated to. Something that sounds as under-performing as this V-6 makes me think you'd get tired of it eventually.

Wow, that's awesome. I've been trying to make a transition from less street riding to more dirt riding on a YZ250F, and all its done is make me want a WR250X that much more because I really like the feel of a dirt bike over a sport bike. I know nothing carries over from the off road bike to the R/X, but that makes it…

May I ask how you like your WR250X?

Eh, maybe. I think guys like Patrick Dempsey or Keith Flint are the kind of celebrities I idealize as enthusiasts. Maybe even Tom Cruise... I think it's cool that he got a WSS/BSB racer to help teach him how to ride bikes.

It is to me. It's as unbearable to watch as the old 'Car Crazy' shows that used to come on Speed that had the guy with the crazy mustache.

*shrugs*

Eh, I don't think you understand why I don't like him. Disposable celebrities that use cars as a medium to flash their wealth is par for course and it's the behavior I expect out of them.

Jay Leno. He is obnoxious and he expects car culture to care about his massive collection of cars.

It is a bit moronic to just watch.
