That actually does look good. Is that an option/accessory from Audi or is someone just ripping off their logo for aftermarket add-ons?

Next trend: using LEDs to create the badges. I'm almost surprised they haven't done it yet. I can easily imagine Audi using those LED light tubes that are on the refreshed A4/R8/etc. to create 4 rings in the grille. Mercedes would copy it within months.

Akio Toyoda. He's actually making Toyota/Lexus cars interesting again. Maybe not all of them, but cars like the FR-S/GT86, Lexus GS, and even crazy concepts like the 600+ hp LS from the LA show. I'd never thought I'd be interested in anything this company put out, but these moves are changing that perception.

All this does is basically jam together facts. Even with all of that I have no idea how it drives. This is one of the cars I was really looking forward to reading about too.

4th- Does anyone know the reasoning behind naming an exclusive taxi at all? I admit I haven't been following this all that closely, but the few times I've been to Manhattan recently tell me that even now the Crown Vic is far from the exclusive choice. There's plenty of Camrys, Escapes, minivans, etc. that are all…

That's exactly what a helmet does. It slows down the acceleration/deceleration of your head, which reduces the force that is exerted on the brain when it hits the skull. The fact that the brain is essentially floating reduces a helmet's effectiveness, but doesn't mean its completely useless

No. Playing without pads does make you play less like a maniac, but that doesn't mean you get injured less. That view overlooks the fact that pads reduce impact of a collision on the player.

While that is true about the frequency of the contact, in soccer they have no protection at all from the head contact they do have. My two sisters have both gotten severe concussions (read: unable to function in school for up to a month) playing soccer. One was from knocking into another player during a header,…

They're not difficult once you get used to them. I've been going through one pretty much every day since I could drive (have to go through it to get anywhere from my house) and it's much simpler than a light once everyone figures out how it works. Most of the time i don't even have to stop

They exist, I know Mercedes used to make them in the early 2000s. Apparently they were discontinued though

Absolutely. 1. as others have said, the kink shape of the rear window. 2. the relation of where the windows end to the rear wheel. 3. The bright spot behind the rear wheel seen in the second picture is consistent with the reflector on a passat

My first post! Anyway I've driven the Merritt a good amount, and while it's far from the safest road, I don't think it's the 6th worst in the world. Although you did forget to mention that there are very old trees with enormous branches hanging over the roadway surface. And those branches break off and land on…
