I had an Amethyst painted Ford Ranger in high school. Dark purple is a sweet paint color.

You do realize that GM doesn't own its car dealerships, right? They're independent companies subject to franchise laws.

Soooo much hate, heaven forbid a car company actually tries something anymore.

It has certainly grown on me. I have gone from hating it to now finding it pretty interesting from certain angles.

That ecodiesel is going to be a game changer.

Reverse: I am GM guy generally, I think they made reliable to the end trucks, but if I were buying a NEW truck and wasn't planning on keeping it 20 years... Ram Ecodiesel.

Im sold on the Dodge Ram. Spent plenty of time with a new F150 and it felt cheap inside. The 5.0 got terrible gas mileage on the highway and I didnt care for the driver menu layout. Rented a 13 Ram 2500 diesel to tow my vehicle 200 miles to a car show and that truck towing 5,000lbs behind it got better fuel mileage

Actually, like every other major inaccuracy in the (great) film, it's a necessary compromise to the plot— no Soyuz/Shenzou, no chances of escape, movie over.

The speed limit is the maximum speed that you are allowed to legally go, pulling people over that are going faster than the maximum legal speed limit is, by definition, fighting crime. If you don't want to be pulled over don't go faster than the speed limit, problem solved. Enforcing existing traffic laws is not a

He was fighting crime; speeding. However, because he's not an asshat, he let the two guys off with a warning and a heads up.

What did that cop do wrong or immoral?

But are they selling knock-off gas?

Its about ratio spread, its always about ratio spread. bigger spread and smaller gaps means that you can do more with less. Specifically, if the car has been aerodynamically optimized (which it has) you need very little power to cruise at speed, so you want a tall overdrive so you are using very little highway fuel.

If you don't practice good habits all the time, you'll never do it when you're supposed to. SIGNAL EVERY TIME BITCHES.

He's right. Not about the sucking part but the reason why you always signal is because you may think no one's there, but they might be just in your blindspot and ninja-ing around to all the places you aren't looking as you check for other cars. I always signal, even when I am driving alone at 3 in the morning on a

Exactly. It should be a subconscious behavior. You shouldn't have to actively think about it. It should just happen. ALL the time.

It's the equivalent of how someone who drive's a manual always presses the clutch in before they start the car. They don't actively think about it - it just happens.

Using your turn signals should be a habit. You should do it without thinking about it at all. If you're consciously making a decision whether or not to use them based on the current conditions, you're doing it wrong. All you have to do is move you pinkie finger a few inches from the wheel. It's not that hard.

I don't understand this. I've yet to drive a vehicle with this technology, so I'm sure it CAN be irritating. However there are only two situations in which I cross over the edge of my lane while driving. Either I was distracted by something, or I'm changing lanes. If I'm changing lanes, I signal, in which case the
