I’ve had a few instances (always late at night/early morning) where the roads have been empty and I’ve had a Statie just happen to merge onto the highway while I was going by, then pull in front of me and slow down to about 5 over, stay there for a minute or so, then leave. Like a friendly “hey, here’s the speed I…

Living just outside Denver, I don’t really get to avoid it, but haven’t had any weather problems in the past 5 years. I usually fly Southwest unless I don’t have a choice, and I’ve had more than a few times when other airlines going the same route are getting delayed and cancelled left and right and we take off just…

It’s a BMW, how many handicapped spots can there be in a parking garage? It’s got to be in one of them, crooked. I don’t see how it takes so long to find...

Or even Trarch?

If the Mustang driver’s insurance only covers $100,000 in damages, shouldn’t that make the Mustang driver personally liable for the remainder of the damage? In a scenario like this, could one go after their assets to cover the rest of the bill?

“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” might be my favorite phrase.

Eh, make it a slug instead of a blank, and then those thieves are guaranteed to never steal again. I have no compassion for people like that.

I usually do the opposite, I look to see if the person behind me has reclined, and if so, then I will.

Violating code or not, the responsibility still falls squarely on the person that drove the car into the loading dock and then couldn’t even realize what had happened. Sure, pylons and a chain would make it easier to see, but so would common sense and looking where one is going. You can’t just drive around an…

My local flying club has a leaseback program where you agree to let them use the aircraft in their fleet, and they maintain it for you, and cut you a check (or charge you) based on how much they make from rentals less a management fee and repair/maintenance costs. From the people in the club who do it, it seems like…

Interestingly enough, they have done some collaboration together on carbon fiber from what I’ve heard...

That’s what’s pissed me off the most about this whole thing: the owners that pretend they liked the car for environmental reasons only and are the most righteous environmentally conscious people ever. I’d bet a lot that they went as far as looking at the mileage of the car, went “Yup, that’ll save me money and I can…

Par of it, to me, is about the positive control aspect of it. The car should continue on its current path, in a no-win scenario, rather than have positive control input to certainly kill the occupants, even if that lack of positive control does kill people outside the car. Not taking action and possibly having a…

This one honestly made me stop, read it again, and go, “Wait, really!?” I think this is the best answer.

I’m proud to admit that I have this poster hanging on my wall, because I am a nerd.

I agree with your “performance bucks” statement, and I’m only 5'8" so I found some extra room on my case (more than in my B7 A4's backseat when the driver’s seat is adjusted to my comfortable position). I just like small cars (hello BMW 1M) quite a lot so I am biased towards the S3/RS3 over most of their competitors.…

Actually, the backseat in the S3 I test drove was surprisingly roomy. I’m not a tall guy but d be comfortable there for a long road trip. That was probably the most surprising thing to me. The handling and acceleration were excellent, and even without a manual the experience felt engaging due to the concentration in…

Thought the google guy and his wife had a yellow LaF and orange P1. If I know which exec you’re referencing.

Thanks! I’m just trying to support my belief in discretion over set rules. Discretion is so underrated in decision making...

I’m mostly intending to argue this from the situation of few drivers on the road, as was the case for these test drivers. In a busier environment, then yeah, you’d have to drive much slower in order to adequately react to other drivers. In a light traffic case, you have much more complete knowledge of where other…
