Youre right, its conceptual, but that doesn't discount it any more from being a realistic and fairly common aversion among motorists. Like it or not for lack of concrete data points, putting multiple lanes of traffic in either direction onto a bridge over a bay with literally nothing to keep the direction of traffic…

Do you want to travel over a bridge crossing a rather deep channel of water at a decent pace with multiple lanes of traffic in both directions with nothing more than a pylon to separate the oncoming lanes? I don't know about you, but I certainly don't. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge will sometimes do this with their…

I am getting the sense that you have it out for CALTRANS and anything regarding government spending in your state.

I dont have stats for it. I really could care less about having stats because frankly, having barriers such as seen in the video makes perfect sense for a busy thruway such as the Golden Gate Bridge.…

Considering that this method is safer for the CALTRANS workers who used to manually put the pylons in the appropriate lane, is faster than said truck and worker, and effectively makes traffic safer since it far reduces the chances of head-on collisions on the bridge, I would say this is far less of an emotional change…

Can we stop for a second and talk about the aero trickeration going on here?

faster than they should have been...

So wait, you compared tires made for the purpose of the test against tires that, at those temperatures, more closely resemble hockey pucks than anything you'd call a tire and deemed it "irrefutable proof".

Of course the snow tire will win. If I took a snow tire out on the track against a proper set of summer tires,…

This is cool and all, but there are better solutions out there.

This would have been the best GOTCHA in 007 history.

As an owner of a B7 A4 Avant with a 6speed mated to the 2.0t 4banger, though with a stage 3 turbo upgrade, I feel compelled to say that the B7 is even better than the B6 simply because it takes what the B6 did good, makes it look 10x better, and still goes about its day in class.

Misleading headline is extremely misleading.

Just wait until someone blows out a speaker and wonders why their engine sounds like its about to explode.

why is it journalists from top to bottom have to use buzzwords to gain clicks? Hey, lets use a word the military associates with a plane used for reconnaissance and tactical strikes and use it to describe a harmless, completely benign hobbiest toy to scare the public into thinking anything that flies without a human…

They were trying to cover their asses. I'd be 80% of the time, the customer would just go home because they blindly trusted the dealer. I applaud the guy for not letting the dealer push him around like that.

All dealerships do that sort of testing. The problem here is that the car was taken without his permission. Stop being dense.

Lease agreement does not pre-authorize anyone at the dealership to drive a customer's car off-site without their explicit approval to do so. Without knowing the full reason the car was at the dealer we're mostly speculating at the full circumstances of the car leaving the dealership. However, taking a car for an…

Just because its a leased car doesn't give any of the dealership employees, from the porter washing the cars to the damn manager, the right to take a customer's car home for the weekend. Bearing in mind that the "extended testing" wasn't even authorized by the customer, now the dealer is in a big pile of shit.

Of these 10, the Porsche is by far the ugliest of the bunch.

you mad? its a joke. lighten up.

you should come to cleveland sometime... learn a thing or two about taking jokes in stride.

Obvious troll is obvious.
