You nailed it. This is exactly the point.

We've now entered a point in automotive history where the only meaningful price being discussed for a car is the monthly lease payment. I think that says it all; nobody buys a car outright anymore because once it's out of warranty, the part failures will begin, and since these cars are heavily computerized and…

When you say more expensive, you're not doing it justice. We're talking several orders of magnitude more for a comparable repair. German engineering means nothing in terms of quality; it only means that an otherwise simple repair requires significantly more time, a more expensive part, and a specialized tool that you…

So true. We've gotten to a point where there's no such thing as an unsafe car. When's the last time a car didn't score well in a crash test?

Really? How can you objectively argue that one sound system so dramatically outperforms another? Without getting into some of the really pathetic base audio systems, this point can't possibly be defended.

It's amazing how they can get away with holding up traffic for as long as they do.

You can also use dropbox folders on your computers. I have three computers with local copies of all the files I store on Dropbox. If something were to happen to my account, I still have 3 local copies to retrieve.

If you ever do, go ahead and share!

This is the most ridiculous, yet hilarious, thing I've ever seen involving a speed bump.

A few months ago people had already written him off as being brain dead, and just look at how wrong that turned out to be. Schumi's been proving all the "experts" wrong at every turn, so I'd say we should wait and see how this all works out. I'm not trying to say we'll see him in a race car again, but he's a fighter!…

I think it's safe to say that if Kogay did ANYTHING to contribute to this accident happening, he should be banned from ever entering into a race again.

And this is different from any government, anywhere, ever, how exactly?

"Not all the population is graced with such gifts." This is the sad reality of the world we live in.

A lot of the comments to this ridiculous article really reinforce the stereotype of the ignorant American. Clearly you have no idea what the difference between socialism, communism and fascism are, and you have absolutely no idea where Quebec is or any of the cities in it. No wonder the rest of the world makes fun of…

And you appear to have confused socialism with liberalism.

What was the legal age back then, 8 months old? You're so out of touch with the reality over here that your comments is as uninformed as this article's author's.

This article turned into an anti-Quebec rant for the most part; fueled by the hilariously uninformed author's ridiculous comments.

The winter tires thing is great. Ignoring the people who keep them on year-round and wear down the tread to nothing; it improved the safety a lot because now you don't have the geniuses with their low-profile tires thinking they're perfectly safe because they're "all-season" tires. All-season doesn't include any…

As a Montrealer myself I'm actually happy the SAAQ is doing something about this; because I see way to many asshats in lowered Volkswagens who can't clear speed bumps and do all kinds of other ridiculous and unsafe modifications to their cars. I'm glad we don't have an American "anything goes" attitude; because then…
