"I also have this question. I think if I remember correctly, I was told to pay down your student loans asap as it'll have a big effect on your credit."

The trick to success is to make things simpler. Using voice commands to find an item hidden in the middle of a 3-deep menu (like telling it to play a certain song or call a certain person) can make sense. But using voice commands to adjust AC or anything else that can be done easily is backwards—it makes it more…

"until actual plant workers start talking, we may not entirely know the reasons for which the vote failed."

Still better than a flight I had into Cleveland. The winds were so bad that the plane was rolling so much I saw sky, runway, sky, runway, ..., and once we were on the ground, it was still being rocked. People were taken off in wheelchairs. I still haven't gotten back to normal on planes yet.

Everything's been catching fire lately.

I think the correct answer is anything that's a wagon with manual transmission in brown.

As per a conversation I had with a Mazda employee (corporate, not a dealership employee), MazdaSpeed is not dead, and while there is nothing official, we should expect a Speed3 in the near future. He also confirmed there absolutely IS such a thing as a SkyActiv-R engine (and no, not the 1-rotor range extender for an…

They also edited it to remove the moment when it hits the MB pulling into that parking spot.

I guess I don't understand. They sell a 3 series wagon. Do you want something different than that?

Doug, I think you miss an important point. Common sense & logic say that what these guys do is self destructive and harms themselves & the thing they love. But they do it anyway, despite everything around them telling them not to.

It's worth noting that the slower than normal speed requirement means if you are the slowest vehicle on the road you need to be in the right-most lane. It does NOT mean only the fastest vehicles occupy the left-most lane.

The Renesis does have its problems, but in all honesty, I have to agree that it is one hell of an impressive engine. No, it may not have the absolute numbers of their prior rotaries, but Mazda did it with a NA set up, improved emissions, & efficiency.

Well, I guess it's just a matter of time until you die completely, then.

Never had to worry about braking, either?

Cool to whom? Certainly not the 95% that opt for ATs.

When I worked in construction, we had some work trucks with manuals. That sucked. Different people always drove them, and you know a ton of those guys never picked up the finer points of manuals, and by that I mean the very basics. I also disliked switching between the clutch in the truck & the one in my car.

Cellulosic ethanol isn't exactly an easy or cost-effective option. If it was, then any/all yard waste would be a good source for fuel (essentially the same as your median idea). But more generally, finding a productive use for waste products is always going to be a good move, e.g., making ethanol out of grains that…

:facepalm:

Why should Brazil get better roads when it is full of such terrible drivers? No, they don't deserve those roads.

Brakes.
