I've been into gaming since I was a wee lad in the late 1980s. I played Command & Conquer: Red Alert online by directing my modem to dial a friend's modem in the mid 90s. I wasted hours of my life trying to play Quake II with my 33.6k modem.

Mercedes owners aren't exactly known for having more sense than money. Plus I'm guessing that, in most cases, the person building the car on the website isn't the one writing the check.

2 doors + 4 seats + FR layout + 50/50 weight distribution = comfortable enough to be a daily driver, cool enough to be a good enthusiast car. It's not difficult people.

The blitzkreig was a land-based strategy and Germany only managed air and nava—

ZHAHHGYOUAHHHHH

I was riding in a car with my 80+ year old grandfather years ago. He needed to turn right into a parking lot, so he turned on his right turn signal. Except...after turning on the turn signal, he went by a parking lot entrance, through a 4-way intersection with traffic signals, and by another parking lot entrance…

It's the same reason why Audi got sued over the Audi 5000. Throw in a 60 Minutes report full of misleading bullshit and you have people thinking they can get rich quick.

Consumer Reports, whatever you feel about them, has been adamant that automakers should be dinged for having dinky, complex, unresponsive infotainment systems. Car designers hate buttons, but people still love them.

I was back at my mom's house for summer break and I was at a small house party with some friends from high school. One of these friends was very drunk and wanted to drive home, but we managed to talk him out of it.

I was driving in Medford, OR late at night on a one way road when a pick-up turned out of a bar's parking lot and came directly toward us. He noticed us right away, starts flashing his lights, honking his horn, and swerving around. He comes up next to us, stops, and screams, "YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG FUCKIN WAY."

I went from a '95 Regal to a '02 Saturn L200 to a '10 Corolla (briefly) to a '12 Mazda3. Wife drives a manual '01 Jetta with a bent frame, 120k miles, and the original clutch.

Luckily it's only a few situations where the AT becomes annoying. Stop and go traffic is annoying in almost any newer AT because they're designed to climb gears as fast as possible. And I've never had a problem getting it to go from 6th down to 5th, but 5th down to 4th gets me sometimes. There's a slight incline on my…

I didn't get navigation, but I heard it wasn't great, mostly because of the tiny screen.

The AT is annoying sometimes, but I couldn't do a manual and the Focus' AT was worse so I don't worry about it too much.

Mazda6.

I spent months researching cars when I was in the market for one. I was in the market for a compact. Boiled it down to two choices: Mazda3 and Ford Focus. Mazda3 won out with better ergonomics, a better automatic transmission, and the absence of the MyFordTouch Sync whatever. This was 18 months ago. At no point have I…

You're arguing semantics. I'm writing a comment, not a research paper.

I understand my post is anecdotal, thanks.

If this type of radiation was as bad as this article makes it sound, wouldn't airline pilots be dropping dead left and right from it? My grandpa was an Air Force and commercial pilot for 30+ years and he came out of it with two things: substantial hearing lost and the inability to trust anyone other than himself to…

Tibet's one of those things that gets a knee-jerk reaction in the west. "China took it? Free Tibet!"
