Of course if it DOES shut off she's pulling out into traffic leaving the airport and suddenly as she pulls out it sputters and dies and she can't brake because she does not weigh enough to fully depress the now unassisted brake pedal, rolls out in front of that truck driver that is checking his route do his next…

I would sooooo fail, I’d probably be selling a car every couple weeks so I could make room for my other latest choice. I mean in just thinking about this, I know my rule has always been if I have to have only one vehicle it will be a truck, because they are so useful. Currently I’d likely go with a Modified Dodge Ram,…

No doubt, but when it comes to Safety, ever since Ayrton Senna’s death F1 has taken safety far more seriously than just about any other major racing series.

So why did hitting cancel cause my 'comment' above to get published??? Glad I did not say something to embarrassing.

I always watch the buy out price, when entering the lease. Sometimes you can find the buy out price is lower than what it will likely sell second hand after 2 or 3 years of depreciation, so long as the car is in good condition. I have a few times bought the car at the end of a lease and then immediately put a for sale…

I might be convinced within the context of a given group, or what people have learned just from school or how broad based their knowledge is about the Philippines.

I love the Philippines, have a blast every time I go. A bit presumptuous to assume most Americans don’t know anything about the Philippines though, considering the long standing Military presence, and a large presence at that. Also considering many business and tourist connections and even Family connections. I can…

Yes it does, although define wear component? I would define that as oil, belts, brakes, clutch if a manual, and so on. I suspect you may be including the entire engine, and maybe transmission. But still that leaves major suspension components, the body and frame. Which brings up something else, where is this car. If…

I would guess a big part of it is extended warranties. The last car I bought, was going to be mostly for commuting and a grocery getter. So I wanted something I need not ever worry about, and the fact it still had the basic warranty valid at the time I bought it, and the extended warranty was transferable, means I do…

Not really interested in the midsized trucks, I really wish Toyota would make a bigger heavier duty Tundra. That said I think Toyota has been getting a little over confident. It used to be Toyota was bullet proof quality and reliability. I’ve heard more and more complaints from Toyota owners of reliability issues. Not…

My feeling exactly. I only slightly hate them because they are, well ugly and seem to be a not quite motorcycle. I love motorcycles, I love 2 wheels, I even enjoy riding my mountain bike, again 2 wheels. 2 wheels turn the right way, anything more than that and it destroys the experience cause it turns all wrong.…

If it was really anyone other than Jenson Button I would not even try to argue. Yes many athletes are wild partiers, open any tabloid and you can see examples. That said I have met a few world class athletes from some Superbowl winning quarterbacks to championship WSBK motorcyclists to Olympic runners and skiers. Not…

Damn, I was hoping this was a story about Renault 16's... wonders off slightly disappointed.

The thing is they had already gone to sleep, it’s not like you have to pump in enough to knock them out from a conscious state. They are already asleep, you just need enough that they are not going to wake up as you pull a ring off a finger. I have to imagine that is a far lower level of gas than is needed to knock…

It’s the telegraph, that’s a UK newspaper. In the UK an RV is a caravan.

I thought in car cameras were banned at the Nürburgring, did they change the rules back again, or is this footage from a camera that someone snuck onto the track?

Cool the first man made cat... and already 3 lives down 6 to go.

My thought exactly... looks more like the first vanity mirror.

My first was the demo example, stupid loud pipes... second thought was flashing headlights. A colleague actually insisted that they are standard issue on a Goldwing, and they are so common I was not gonna stick my neck out to say he was wrong.
