Like the article said, simply stating “I have no problems meeting the requirements of the job” may be the best answer.

There is a limit, however, to what companies can do. There are protected categories that an employer cannot discriminate on, and there is the ADA. But I think in general, if they can claim an action or attitude negatively affects the company, you can get fired for it. Blue shirt—if the company is at a trade show & the…

Disclosing log-in info is a violation of the facebook user agreement. In my opinion, a company/interviewer that asks for such a thing isn’t worth working for.

I disagree that one should “suck it up an answer.” Rather, the article’s recommendation to provide the information that they are looking for without answering the protected part.

A problem with the whole synthetic fuel is that it requires a lot of electricity—at least six to eight times what would be needed for an EV. That means the synthetic fuel will be much more expensive (compare $5k total life cycle for av EV to $40k for synthetic fuel), and any concerns that converting to EVs will…

I agree that Toyota wants SkyActive engines. I also agree Mazda wants to cut out billions in researching alternative fuels.

That’s more of a butter face.

The Sky-R engine does exist, and Mazda reps have admitted to it.

One potential positive from this merger is that perhaps the hydrogen Wankel Mazda talks about will become a reality. (Hydrogen is a decent idea since it won’t have as bad emissions problems.)

Polyamory is wrong.

This deal is great for Toyota, but not so good for Mazda.

I would expect everyone to know by now that with turbo’d engines, size doesn’t mean much anymore, hence not using it in name designations. Also, with other advances, even smaller NA engines can outperform their larger, older cousins.

And that is different than any one else who lies?

How do they pay more? Most people are willing to pay more to a dealer than private party, hence the different categories in KBB. Pretending to be a private party would seem to be backwards on that front.

Utahns have their own quirks. One that I’ve noticed abundantly is the need to pass you to make their exit instead of merging behind you. Also, in SLC, running red lights is rampant because they have so few dedicated left turn lanes that the only way you can get through is to wait for it to turn red, then go. I believe…

How exactly is this a scam? Deceptive, maybe, but does it cause the buyer harm?

I’ve heard automakers say that almost no one (literally, not just an expression) uses paddle shifters. But they keep including them because when people see them, they think they’ll use them, and they’re willing to spend more for them.

A feature I haven’t seen yet for any automated transmission is the option to skip gears. A car with a high redline can accelerate onto the freeway in 2nd, and then at speed shift into 6th. However, automatics will progressively shift into 3rd, 4th, ..., when it just isn’t necessary. Yes, automatics can execute those…

Also, there isn’t such a difference in function between wings & spoilers. For example, on an episode of Autoline after hours, the lip spoiler on the Corvette was discussed, and the engineer stated that it created a bubble of high pressure over the back end of the car, which imparted quite a bit of downforce. So,…

“Prolific” obviously doesn’t mean “abundant.” They clearly mean it’s the most used element. Now, I don’t necessarily agree with that, because I’m sure oxygen and carbon would have it beat. But in the terms of processed metal, no doubt iron/steel is the extensively used, recycled, and successful. As we were taught in…
