It's the proper way to drive an automatic. Far safer then right foot braking.

With all this discussion of Me First/F**k You (MFFY), it's time to admit the fundamental problem leading to MFFY: speeding. There's all kinds of excuses--the limits are underposted, it's not safe to drive the speed limit, etc.; however, unless a particular road actually has no speed limit, the...

This is a study from 2006, but since the authorities and politicians have not acted on it or even talked about it, we must assume TRAFFIC SAFETY IS NOT IN THEIR LIST OF PRIORITIES. And since CYCLISTS HAVE THE MOST TO LOSE from a collision with the cell phone junkies and drunks, we must place them...

LEGAL QUESTION: What is the process to have an illegal STOP sign removed? DETAILS: The three multi-way STOP signs in question are easily viewed by pasting the following GPS coordinates into Google Maps: 37.291379,-121.958411 The flagrantly illegal multi-way STOP signs are those facing each...

There's a 55mph freeway near where i live and if i do 50, everybody passes me. But if i do 60 very few do. The deadly criminal speed loons like to tell us that EVERYBODY DOES 20 MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT, but that is not true. The speeders just say that so they don't have to face the fact that they...

More pie in the sky bull**** about hydrogen cars, no mention of increasing fuel efficiency standards. What a moron.

I ran across this interesting article about a report that the International Energy Agency has just released. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/655B03B0-32C2-4BF7-A3E8-F7EFD8144333.htm The complete report is at http://www.iea.org/textbase/work/2005/oil_demand/background.pdf Here's an...

I pegged her at 70 years old plus minus. She pulled out of a fast food on my left in a heart beat I,m in the left lane of thru traffic. I,m on the binders on ABS and they are working on overtime. I come to a stop 3 feet from her right front fender.

This morning, I was driving in NYC, and came onto a "random safety stop" being manned by NYC police. I guess it was my lucky morning, cause they picked me and motioned me to pull over. I pulled over, stopped my car, and proceeded to unbuckle my seat belt in order to get my wallet out (with my...

To squeeze more money from those in the kingdom of course. Oh and to encourage transit use by making driving suck more. http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/24/2415.asp <...> Under a $153 million federal grant approved in April, Mayor Richard M. Daley (D) will remove lanes from general purpose use...

Funny how some people spend a good amount of energy trying to discount global warming. However, let's assume global warming does not exist. Everyone! There is absolutely nothing wrong with conservation and preventing pollution. Even if you don't believe in pollution. The true problem that...

Seems like the gas companies are working the same tactic that De Beers diamond corporation does. Create an artificial shortage to drive the prices up. De Beers sits on vast quantities of product, releasing only a trickle of dimaonds onto the market to the manufacturing jewellers. This...

Today I was checking out a Subaru dealership, and I found an 2005 STI (MSRP 33,000) with ~300 miles on it. The salesman tried to convince me that it is common to see new cars in dealers lots with hundreds of miles on them. He claimed that he had no idea how they put so many miles on that car. What...

The deadly American driver has figured out that if you're drunk and speeding and yakking on the cell phone and you run over a kid, just keep on going and park the car somewhere and then tell the cops your car was stolen. Even if a witness got your plates, he didn't see you because of the tinting...

If you like the price of fuel today, thank an environmentalist and the democrats that support them for: 1) failure to drill ANWR 2) failure to drill offshore 3) failure to build refineries in this country 4) trumping up a bunch of nonsense about nuclear power that has precluded its

Hello all, I recently got a new Audi A3 2.0T stick shift. This is my first manual transmission car. My question is what is the best way to drive over speed bumps since my apartment complex has around 6 of them and I don't feel comfortable driving them. Here is what I've tried: 1) Drive in first,...
