I worked at a kart track as well. I saw people on a regular basis crash into the wall at 35 mph because they just kept the throttle pinned and cut the wheel at the last second of a corner, resulting in no change in their direction. The difference between karts and cars is not the cause for the complete failures I’ve…

It’s sales weighted because it’s an attempt at pragmatic legislation, not idealistic legislation. That is, if we want to use less fuel/have less emissions, you need to control the fuel economy of our national fleet, not the fuel economy of all of the cars available for sale.

Yes, you are doing better for the environment. Our electrical grid (including its coal sources) is much much more efficient than an ICE.

Unless you’re speaking from experience, I highly doubt it. The +2 is really really a stretch. Now, I have actually used it quite a few times, on unplanned occasions, such as offering a ride to a friend instead of them taking the bus. But we’re all quite contorted to accomplish that.

“ ...keyless entry, and pulling navigation from the tech package to make it a standard feature, which it should’ve done two years ago.”

"Vestigial back seat." Ha! That's golden.

I'm a big fan of F1's qualifying format. Most drivers get clean laps, you get changes in qualifying position often, drivers going back and forth, there's almost never multi-car accidents, and it's all done with in a hour. Any convincing reason why NASCAR can't do this? (Apart from the much shorter laps... which might…

Well, I can see hating on towing companies. But I'd imagine the driver is just some poor schmuck who's getting the ire of everyone for low pay.

Well, you'd think people would slow down when they see the cruiser, but then, she was driving a few minutes ago too..

It was probably foolish of the cop to move over on him like that, but as far as I see it, the cop moves over, the motorcyclist slows down, is almost COMPLETELY stopped (as is the cop), and THEN the motorcyclist guns it and squeezes by a now much narrower gap. Basically, the cop "pinned" the motorcyclist, but the…

They explicitly state that you shouldn't tip. I've seen other places that mention "it is customary to tip x percent.." So, as far as I'm concerned, it's not customary to tip an uber driver. Sure, we tip for plenty of professions in the us, but there are plenty of others where we don't.

Well, your miles to empty probably assumes constant fuel consumption based on the consumption at that given moment, as opposed to this which also accounts for (or attempts to account for) changes in fuel economy based on changes in elevation and wind.

It'd be like a fuel gauge that can also predict how much fuel you are going to use in the next dozen miles, and tell you where the nearest gas station is.

Who's your insurer and what's your coverage like?! 13 FR-S, 26, perfect record, $1100. Greater Boston.

Erm, you're supposed to tip uber drivers? Whoops.

Time for wikileaks and julian assange to show their worth!

You could just as easily die in a car crash while going to whatever mundane leisure activity you prefer. I'm not claiming the risk is identical, but I'm sure you do indeed assume some risk for "absolutely nothing."

Presumably you'd be smart enough to not go out on the one to two days a year there are inclement ice related conditions.

The attempt at shooting into your team's basket is amazing. Both teams should have played the game as usual, but trying to score in their own basket and the other team trying to stop them. The "winner" has the easier first round in the tournament! Kinda like that riddle with the two brothers racing across the desert.

I don't do #7... purely because I think it looks stupid.
