Colloquially, “America” refers to the United States. I know, language can be a bit scary.

Who said it’s luxury? No reason your last possibility isn’t right.

Well, if you’re monitoring the CO levels in the cabin, that’s what the levels are, and that’s what matters to the passenger. If the exhaust is “lost,” well then, the CO isn’t a problem for the passenger anymore!

I’d agree with you... if he were on a track.

1st gear: on a somewhat related note, the other day I was driving by a house and I noticed that the attached garage was below what looked like the living room. I’ve never had an attached garage, and it got me wondering, what sort of risk of carbon monoxide poisoning is there with attached garages, from CO leaking into…

If you’re passing them over and over again, that really means that you’re not getting anywhere by passing them. I’m not saying it’s not annoying, but I am saying that typically this has a very little effect if any on your final arrival time. Also, in most states, cyclists are allowed to pass stopped traffic on the…

I agree with you, with one exception: things happen faster on a motorcycle. As a cyclist, I’ve had plenty of moments where I think “this person probably doesn’t see me,” and can react accordingly. You have more time to anticipate and react (in general... sometimes you have none, or you’re already going at traffic…

1) Extended final gear- I wish that my six-speed had a taller sixth gear! I’ll regularly be spinning at about 3500 rpm for hours on end. I know that if it were taller it would hurt acceleration up at those speeds, but c’mon, how often...

The Darien Gap.

Agreed. Assuming you’re referring to the smaller plane.

Before I even saw that you included a link, I was going to say “No, it was Amanda Knox.”

I hope they keep the same general format, with “Good News!” in the beginning, then “films” with brief cuts back to studio for shorter bits and comments, BUT, I’m not necessarily keen on them recreating all of their old bits. I love the lap board and star in a reasonably priced car, but I feel like they can re-invent…

I rarely see four way stop signs that have four way (or “All Way,” which is better) on them. Just different signs for different regions!

I think if I drove the 4C I would fall in love with it, but....

Did you try saying this word a few times before recommending it? It’s terrible!

I fear you didn’t read my comment. If you use a car to travel to the mall, the movie theater, or a restaurant, you are exposing yourself to risk, purely for a leisure/pleasure activity. How is that any different? I’m not saying that taking a car to work is the same, but I am saying that taking a car anywhere for fun…

If you use a car to pursue a leisure activity, or anything that isn’t essential for survival, how is that a false equivalency?

Often people knock the model s’s range (250 miles ish?), which is actually fine for 99% of the drives I do, and probably most people, but this range of 90 miles really does strike me as quite useless. Realistically that’s only a 45 mile range to a destination that doesn’t have a charger, and I do trips like that more…

Okay, I just need to survive the next ten years until these things are autonomous anyway!

I had the exact same experience! I was shopping for life insurance, and there were tons of negative reviews about refusal to pay claims, or dragging them out forever. In the end I just had to trust my agent (who did indeed come highly recommended).
