What about turn signal indicators? As I recently learned, that's a Buick invention from 1939.

My dad has an E92 BMW with the 3L inline six; and all I can say is, cargasm. That noise is just wonderful.

And the flat-spotting of tires caused by this.

Practice makes perfect, that's the only way to learn. Practicing in a big car helps by the way; I can now say that I can successfully parallel park my 17 foot-long Buick in downtown Montreal without even disturbing the traffic.

Wow you use points for that? Very smart; here in Canada a lot of driving schools TEACH you to turn the wheel while not moving for parallel parking. It's a terrible practice since it's probably about the worst thing you could do for your tires other than disabling your ABS and doing emergency stops.

PC games especially always go on sale, and sometimes not long after launch. I was pretty annoyed that bioshock infinite went on sale a couple months after launch, even ahead of the steam summer sale. As the article says, unless this is an oh my god I need this right now kind of game, there's no point buying it on day…

I genuinely enjoy drinking tea, especially when I'm studying/working on school-related things. I'm sure a lot of it is placebo, but I do feel that I can concentrate better after finishing my tea, so for that reason alone I have at least one tea a day during final exam period.

Once you learn all these terms they seem quite obvious, but until then they're quite ambiguous and overlapping.

Sometimes people think their car's bluebook value is fair. My 16 year old land yacht is listed at $4500, but really why would anyone pay that much for a car that's not rare or a classic or anything that adds value?

you're on to something here. Generally it's only the people with something bad to say that are heard, which is why every carrier is apparently the worst one ever to exist.

There's definitely a cultural divide here because I look at european hot hatches and think they're for the most part kind of boring; and really only exist for people who can't afford cars that are actually fast. At least in north american you can get a mustang or camaro for pretty much the same price but with…

I say 13" is perfect. It's large enough to be practical on the go, but also small and light enough so that you won't hate carrying it with you.

It's worth keeping these boxes at least for a while since you'll need them if you have to send it back, or once that window closes in the event you have to send it back to the manufacturer. Plus it's such a nerdgasm to look through all the boxes a couple of years after you built it.

The worst I've ever seen is Purolator (probably Canada only?). My most recent delivery from them was a box that looked tampered with: smashed and torn open. It was a miracle all I had ordered was sports team banner. Also, they always show up about 15 minutes after everyone is out of the house so I have to drive all…

I live in Canada and the times I've bought something on eBay and have it shipped USPS have been the packages I've gotten in the best condition.

I wonder if Seth McFarlane will turn up as a star in the reasonably priced car next season...

I think the Zonda sounds much better. For me this new car will just always be the one whose name was made fun of on top gear.

Based on what I've heard from people, whichever carrier you have is automatically the worst. They all have very similarly evil practices, and whichever one you're with is pretty much the same as the others. Especially in Canada where the big three carriers effectively collude with eachother, you get the same service…

It's also important to keep your lunches healthy. I worked at a place over the summer where a guy brought the same brand of microwave meal every day, which had so much sodium in it I cringed to hear about it. This really isn't a good long-term plan...

I'm Canadian, and whenever I venture south of the border, I'm appalled by everyone's reliance on cruise control. It makes switching lanes incredibly annoying because nobody can be bothered to let you in.
