I want my toggle switches back.

Actually we do have a set of rules here - been around a while, but most recently posted here The SR20 rule is in there (for good reason - perhaps someone will tell the story if you're interested). I haven't noticed your bragging on your ride to this point, but evidently some others have, and they're calling you on…

Sounds like every time I've driven in NYC, actually. Not joking.

Honestly, It's the fact that very rarely am I driving alone for the entire trip. I take the kids to school in the morning, pick them up from somewhere about half the afternoons, take co-workers to lunch (as many of them ride motorcycles to work, so they're not driving multiple people), and on the weekends I'm going…

Yours for the tiny sum of $4200...

Posted earlier in Oppo, but I figured that somehow it's appropriate for you here for some strange reason... Congrats!

This is as large as they need....

I have a friend that had a Discovery, and another with a ... Defender90, I think. They were extrememly capable vehicles (the Defender moreso, obviously), but 'inexpensive' was not in their vocabulary. At what point did Land Rover switch over from capable and inexpensive to capable and really effing expensive?

"three-inch lift kit"? pikers - THIS is how you setup a pickup. You see that box in the back? He needs *all* of that lift to get it where he needs to go. and to get all the power out of the engine, the exhaust system is WIDE open - look at those stacks! That must be a really heavy box. THIS is why there are no…

On the general subject of survival kits, automotive or otherwise, here's a list I ran across on Slashdot several years ago, which is pretty good:

Yep - 2 back seats (for double amputees, but they're seats. My 7 year old complains about the legroom.) And the reliability really isn't bad - the only issues I've had are age related (of course, mine isn't a CSI version like the one pictured)

6th - absolutely gorgeous. I like the way they've taken care of the mirrors. I've seen some concepts with screens placed at the window corners (where your eye normally goes to see the rear mirrors), but I like the flyouts on either side of the steering wheel better - eyes stay closer to center ahead for the…

3rd gear. "I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him. I will name him George"

I started reading this without looking who wrote it (zoomed in on the phone), and thought "dude, that *so*deserves a heartclick!". So I zoomed out. Dammit! Already clicked! So UN-click and re-click for you. Amen, I say.

Remember that the car is blurry in the shot, which means that the length in the picture is extended from the actual length. Can likely estimate from the wheel well blur

I found it helpful to drive many different cars - and also the same car with different tires. The contrast really helps you notice the differences that help you figure out how to make the vehicle do what you want - as many others have said, also eliminate distractions. No radio, phone, passengers while trying to…

Go to the track - get time in a vehicle that you can make mistakes in, without risking everyone else around you, in a controlled environment. Track days are a couple of hundred dollars all told, and there are people there to help you as well

This. Some manufacturers and others have driving schools to help you reach potential from all levels
