Someone needing to get to the hospital bad I'd image... as others have pointed out, by the 15km till the hospital sign.

Start at $21,500, top-of-the-line SX is about $35k before any dealer add-ons, destination charge, etc... the prices have gone up some since the car launched, though I don't think it was ever below $21 for the base model...

If you watch the bar at its base right after the barrier lowers, it appears that the guys are actually lifting it... perhaps they caused it to malfunction?

Yeah, when I'm on a multi-lane road, 3+, I tend to occupy the middle, or right-middle lanes if possible... I almost never ride in the far right lane as I don't want to block people from exiting or be blocked by people entering the road. On a 3 lane road, I'll usually move to the right lane to let faster traffic go…

Yeah, I never thought they might be drafting me... of course, with the little ones in the back of my hatchback, I'd rather not have someone barreling down on me at high speeds... usually, I'll either slow down until they go around, or I'll get into another lane so that they will go around. It appears they are trying…

I guess I should add, my ST is set up so that 65 MPH seems to be the peak speed to increase MPG on the road. That's right where the tach says I should be getting full torque, and it does seem to do better there than 55, 60 or 70, 75 so I'm assuming that's by design.

Where as I totally agree with this and the mentioned earlier article pertaining to Canada, I do wonder about the safety on roads with a higher speed limit, when you don't actually drive that speed limit, and thus anger other drivers. Limits around my home town are usually 55-65, depending on location. Recently I tried…

Some people like driving big vehicles (trucks) and the Raptor is the sports car of trucks basically... so you get the big vehicle feel, and all that tight handling and off-road prowess. This truck really isn't meant to be a work truck. It sits very high and would make it difficult to reach your toolbox or whatever…

Ahh, yes... legendary lack of reliability... my MKV was in the shop 25% of the time I owned it... lots of engine issues, software and electronic issues... issues I had to actually search for TSBs online to get fixed, etc... I swore I'd never own another VW... but then I started looking at a used 2012 MKVI recently...…

VLC (Beta) for Android at least, is not available in the US (presumably due to the DVD codec it includes)... is that true for iOS as well?

I even feel like a cheapskate when I use Groupons or coupons of any kind honestly (unless I'm at a self-checkout) which is weird to me.

"Well, there goes your social life" - Clueless

Let me just say I've experienced what looks and sounds exactly like this in the car with my lady after eating at White Castle, and she did NOT appreciate it at all!

This story is on pretty much every Gawker site right now... check them out for all sorts of different sides to the story... each site has distinctly different posts based on their very stereotypical readers :)

My brother-in-law lives in a very rural community where cost of living is not high as it would be in Seattle, Ft. Collins, Pittsburgh or any other high-cost locations you may have chosen to try and prove your point. Getting the high-paying jobs is very difficult as a lot of firefighters try for them, but there are…

Brilliant! Why hasn't someone brought this up before?

Okay, let's steer this argument into less of that, an argument, and more of a constructive discussion. I assume you believe that minimum wage should be $15/hr or better. What happens if that gets instituted? Where does the money come from? Do they double the price of food? I assume the expectation is that the big wigs…

First of all, you're... secondly, I'm not sure what you mean by "I'm unskilled" ... and lastly, a second person would not need their own mortgage, possibly not a car payment, definitely not another home insurance or cable bill. Sure, if this was 2 incomes, they would need separate insurance for themselves, we can…

Unfortunately, our society has placed more value on skilled work, thus those that work harder physically, tend to make less than those who do work that turns a higher profit for their companies, even if that work is not as physically demanding. If McDonalds paid their employees $15/hr, their food would cost much more…

I'm sympathetic to the plight of those who have a hard time making ends meet, but I don't know that paying them the same as skilled workers is the answer... If they are single, find roomies... if they are married, look for cheap housing or possibly move to where cheaper housing is. It's not like your job is keeping…
