I disagree with your perceptions of fast and slow. I consider your scale no different than thinking a 2000 sq ft home as too small. It negatively warps one's understanding of what the real world actually is.

Hopefully, there's a Speed6 version in the works. Then, a lack of a V6 for the regular 6 won't be an issue.

Does anyone think that any broad brush used to describe young drivers will be accurate? While I believe the talk about teens not liking cars is exaggeration, I have noticed more young people not interested than years past, so I think it is a trend, just not THE trend. I think the economy is a reason, but not…

Without drag, all things fall (accelerate) at the same rate. So, they start off even. What changes things is drag to weight ratio. If two objects are similar in shape & composition, the larger one will fall faster because weight increases with the cube while drag increases with the square. That doesn't prove a spaces…

"more people use their cars for commuting rather than actual driving, and that's a shame."

My comment was regarding people who say that a family sedan with a 7.2 sec 0-60 time (for example) is too slow and thus unsafe, or that anything with under 200 hp is undrivable.

A little late in this story. Did jalopnik wait for reruns?

Push button start.

My oil changes cost $20, except every other time, then they are free. I don't mind my dealership doing it for me at those prices.

But what about the general sentiment that sub 8 sec 0-60 times are slow? Could The Simpsons the source of that, too?

I personally like "an angry transformer smoking four cigarettes."

Money is not "money." Sometimes money is A LOT more money.

I'm personally hoping that figure skating competitions be done in the middle of a hockey game, just to make it more interesting.

I remember seeing posters of battered kids that were used to raise awareness to and hopefully curb abuse. Or, if we believe internet logic, maybe since they had a picture of a battered kid, they were pro-battered kids.

If I'm running that late, I wouldn't bother shampooing at all. It's not like your hair needs it every day.

No. You are the only one who is not familiar with "flatware."

Additionally, coast before stops/turns. Every time you brake (unless it's a hybrid), you throw energy away. Thus, when you see brake lights ahead, let off the gas. Stop lights can be timed so that when you get there, you are ready to go. This technique can improve mileage by up to 10% and dramatically increase brake…

More important than not financing is keeping the vehicle as long as possible so that the purchase costs (principle & interest) are amoritized over as long a period as possible. For example, buying a $3ok car and keeping it for 20 yr effectively costs you $1500k/yr, but buying a $10k car and keeping it only 5 yr…

Let's do the math again:

In my state, it is legal for a cyclist to occupy an entire lane if that lane is less than 14 ft wide or if it is unsafe for a car & bike to share it. The vast majority of lanes are narrower than that. However, the law doesn't mean much if drivers don't know it.
