There are two pages of data you can switch between by running, and it lets you customize what's on each page. And yes, one of those data fields is pace.

I picked up this 1980 VW Rabbit Convertible for the princely sum of $150 two weeks ago. I wouldn't call it the "best," because it's 32 year old German car with all of 105k on the clock that only runs in theory.

We expect current drivers to safely handle a flammable fuel, the fumes of which are explosive, with no special training. Most know not to pull the trigger to start the gas flowing before they'e stuck the nozzle in the filler spraying that nasty fluid all over the place.

I'm in the beginning stages of converting a car to EV, so this application is the first thing I thought of, too. It would eliminate one of the major adoption-resistance factors for EVs.

Oh, there's another country other than the US that uses "hoss"?

"Hoss" is a southern colloquialism, usually directed at someone who is a bit of an oaf.

Look closely at the speedo, hoss... that's in km/h, not mph.

My experience mirrors your own, except I bought a 2005 in 2010. It's always fun to drive friends around in it with no kids. They're astounded at how well the torque of the J35 moves the beast, especially my friend with the 2.0L Civic Si.

Yup, because this exists, among other iPad apps:

First: Tipster, identify yourself! I live in Roeland Park, and I didn't hear about this until just now.

True, but that "badass" couldn't drive his truck home afterward.

Well, considering the original Mustang was based on the Falcon — Ford's econobox at the time, and then your example, Pinto-based. Then the Fox Mustang — that was a nearly-new platform, but it underpinned the Ford Fairmont, a dumpy midsized sedan, first.

No, you've got it backwards. That was a [potential] Mustang turned into an econobox.

You got it. Toyota has designed a car for such broad appeal that it's the default choice when someone wants a solid, reliable transportation appliance that will not cause them the least bit of stress (or excitement), and that's what makes it so bland, so inoffensive, and such an awful car.

My last ticket was doing 14 over in light traffic...

Eh, I'm sure they're just as frustrated with the tiny cars buzzing around them as you are with their size and inability to speed, slow, or change direction like a passenger vehicle.

Thanks! That was my main intent. Some folks take random comments on the innanets way too seriously. Still driving the WRX? Has it been almost a year since I sold it to you?

And it would be. But man, would it ever clean out the gene pool.

I'm okay with this.

Okay, here's my vote:
