As a PE (Professional Engineer) in Civil Engineering (Transportation and Traffic, mostly), I can find no fault with this video. It's entirely accurate, even if it is from Canada.

Pretty much.

To be honest, I've never actually used a ball-bank indicator because we rely heavily on AASHTO and other published standards. There's probably one buried in the office somewhere, along with the drafting tables and eraser shields.

Heh, my apologies. I had my work hat on.

Speed limits have little or nothing to do with the condition of a car, with the exception of what we civil engineers call 'advisory speeds' for certain geometric conditions (i.e. short radius curves, blind corners, etc.). Therein, speed limits are dictated by bald tires, bad brakes, and comfort.

It may be mostly Civic, but I'm willing to bet it's all Rover electrics on the inside, just like a Sterling. Any word if the speedometer still works?

Gotcha. I glossed over the A3 and TT (begin excuse) because you had mentioned them earlier (end excuse).

Understood; Audi has its own platforms. But even Audi's FWD cars have the engine mounted longitudinally (as far as I know).

Definitely the worst in the U.S. No legroom to be had anywhere, and on a red-eye I took to Florida with them, the plane dropped out of the sky a couple thousand feet and not a word from the cockpit or flight attendants. Business as usual, I guess.

Probably RyanAir, though I've never flown it myself. Any airline that considers putting in a pay toilet has to suck.

That's true, though it was my understanding that even though they're longitudinally mounted, they're all FWD based. The A4 has a longitudinally mounted motor, but also comes FWD only.

My dad had an '87 825 SL, and it was surprisingly excellent. The Honda V6 was bullet-proof, and you could get it with a stick. What I remember most (as a kid) was that the outer rear seats reclined, and you could piss off whoever was riding bitch (usually the youngest brother).

As far as I know, they outsource this part of the manufacturing, at least that's what their supply-chain statements had me believing.

That looks like a fantastic specimen of Le Car behind the 2CV.

In California, it's legal for "emergency personnel" to use their cell phones will driving.

Hate to be a smart ass, but isn't the gas tank usually in the center of the car, between the rear wheels? The fuel filler door, on the other hand, could be on the right- or left-hand side of the car . . .

People, please!! Just because the truck says Michelob Ultra on it doesn't mean there isn't something drinkable aboard. Would somebody please think of the children, err, beer!?!

Watching explosion > Threat of shrapnel

This appears to be French Toast.

So what kind of Volvo were they driving?
