“shame Nissan can’t bring anything cool to the table. Aging Z, no SE-R of notable performance, GTR that is amazing. Made the Pathfinder boring, dumped the Xterra. I get it, but even Toyota has a 4Runner.”

Before Ghosn: You mean one calendar year before Ghosn? 1997 offered the 240sx and 300zxtt (more notable than anything offered in the 20-40k range since). The Maxima was the one car Nissan offered throughout the 90's that consistently exceeded expectations. It’s also the single reason the VQ30DE won all those…

I totally get wanting to bring a US car to the UK, same reason I would love to have a European or Japanese car in the US: to be different and get a bit of attention from confused onlookers.

When friends and family ask me for advice for what car they should buy. I give them several really good, interesting options. Then, they ignore those choices and end up buying a Camry.

They sold the 240SX in 1998. And the late 90's Maxima was a damn decent car.

It is true. It’s a bad mixture.

He was in the right lane, per the post. If you’re smart enough to keep right and let traffic flow, to the left, you can drive however you want and you should be left in peace.

I find that I really don’t care what’s going on behind me. People can tailgate all they want, use their high beams (I have auto-dimming mirrors) and otherwise, go maniacal.

I recently moved back to my old house requiring me to drive 50mi each way, including through the heart of Tampa, an hour each way, at best, and at least 3 serious crashes each week, so about 12-14 hours/week dealing with traffic, it’s miserable.

Ok, this was a good one. Most of these have just been people being assholes, my story included. Touche.

I like this one because the other driver lost control on his own. Almost all of the other submissions are people trying to defend their assholishness because someone else was also being an asshole. This story, the guy just took the exit too fast. Not your fault you buy good tires.

He says he’s in the right lane.

Safer is not necessarily true, either way. In the US, eggs are washed before being sold, in order to prevent contaminates on the outside of the shell from making it into your kitchen or food. Washing removes an additional layer that allows the egg to keep at room temperature, therefore, a washed egg must remain…

When driving home after work, I generally sit in the right hand lane near the speed limit (70mph on I75 north of Detroit) as I’m not in any real hurry and traffic is light.

You don’t see eggs in refrigerators in Europe because farmers there aren’t allowed to wash the protective outer layer off of their eggs and that layer doesn’t do well under refrigeration. In the US, farmers are required to wash their eggs and without that layer, eggs must be refrigerated or they go bad quickly. Both…

In my state, you have the right to face your accuser, which means to cross-examine them. It is the #1 reason there are no speed cameras in my state and red-light cameras are not state-backed. Red-light cameras do exist, but most have been disabled and they are heavily limited how much the city can collect (they are…

And to this, I introduce you, the Solomon Curve. This is based on the average pace of traffic, not the speed limit.

The downside is that DRLs have been linked to a reduction in collisions because cars with lights on are more noticeable.

“When a cop is approaching a reported child abduction I want them prepared to kill to get that child back. Gun drawn is a perfectly reasonable approach to this situation.”
