Growing up, my parents had this type of arrangement. My father was very good with money, and it worked well up until he passed away. It took my mom quite a while—and I wouldn't say it's done yet—to develop those skills for herself. I still help her out, especially with things like taxes.

I don't necessarily believe that couples actually fight over money as much as studies would indicate. Rather, I believe that money is a barometer of the health of the relationship, much like a fever is for the body. There are many illnesses that result in a fever, and there are many underlying relationship problems…

I recall a study where physical response (arousal) to viewing men/women was measured. For men viewing men, few (IIRC under 10%) had recordable arousal, while for women viewing women, it was close to 50%.

Some of these are myth or fact depending on how they are phrased. For example, do women watch porn? The answer is usually given in the percentage of women who have at some point in time in the past watched porn, not what percentage currently watch it. Furthermore, it's not defined how low would the percentage need to…

My solution to the question of spending extra time in traffic v. pay a toll is to not make the trip in the first place. When forced, we often find ways around normal tasks we think we have to do: phone, email, teleconferencing, combining meetings, etc.

My comment about coupons isn't about the time it takes, but rather that it leads to buying things you normally would not have bought simply because they are a good deal. That's why they make coupons—because you will actually spend more.

Or,

This is the internet, your common sense and thoughtful research is unwelcome here.

Ability to trademark the term—it's the same reason Blu-Ray is missing the "e."

Power/liter is hardly as important as torque/liter.

Yes, the 2.5L 185 hp engine in the new 3 certainly *is* zippy. No, it's not sports car fast, but it's perkier than any other 'normal' compact car I've driven.

I would guess that you can get more power/liter from an engine if you don't bother tuning it for efficiency. In other words, if your only goal is power & torque, you can bump up those numbers, but you will see your mpg drop. Automakers have to balance both of those things.

It's due to our lower minimum octane ratings. IIRC, the 14:1 international engine doesn't produce more peak power/torque than our 13:1 engine, but the torque curve elsewhere in the rev band is higher, particularly at low rpm.

Ford knew they'd have to knock it out of the park to sell pickup buyers on a V6.

It's no rumor that they continue R&D on rotaries. It *is* a rumor that they hope to have rotary models for sale in 2017/2020 to celebrate the anniversaries of their first production rotary engine & the founding of the company.

"Why not just post that sources say to expect a new RX? by 2020. And then say "To tide you over here is a cool fan design I found that can hold us over until we get something concrete."

At SEMA one year they had a 2 concept with their 2.0L engine. I agree they should put their current 2.0L engine in new one with its crazy low weight. I think it would sell at least as well as the prior Speed3.

The diesel is intended to be the upgrade engine (instead of a V6), and IMO, that's part of the reason they needed to maintain the performance when adapting it for US emissions. Granted, it doesn't have more power than the gas engine, and it has slower 0-60 times, but all that torque...

The truth hurts, doesn't it?
