For normal everyday pleb driving they are a pleasure, be warned though that a Lexus will probably ruin any other cars you have, my Scion is like driving a tin can in comparison I'm willing to bet my Acty is much more tinny than your Scion  HandlingByJebus posted:I had no idea this was a contributing factor, completely missed these reports. poo poo. Makes sense though, you have a not-designed-with-protection-in-mind thing stuck on your brain case protector so naturally it's going to multiply the gently caress out of forces applied to it and drive stuff that isn't supposed to into your head.

I feel like the mount would just snap off before it would become an actual issue. I am seeing a lot of old news reports saying that there was going to be testing of a helmet with a gopro attached but have not come up with the results yet.

Hell no. A small force on a lever, versus your neck? Plus, gopros are expensive. The mounts aren't exactly designed to be breakaway.

Today I solo-drove a manual car for the first time and it was awesome. Didn't even stall once (except when I let the clutch out after parking but before turning the car off...) Do I buy a Miata now?

I just inherited a 30 mile commute with guaranteed stop and go traffic in the middle 15, and I want an automatic so bad.

When my FJ was still drivable the only way to stop the engine was to stall it. Well, I could just shut off the fuel, but that meant popping the hood to turn it back on again. Item number 20832 on the To-Do list is to figure out how to fix that. E: MGS, my commute is about 10 minutes (7 with no traffic), with 10 stops one way (7 if I don't stop at Timmies), and 7 on the way home. I just retired my one and only automatic in favour a manual because the Versa I got was loaded and the other option was a povery spec Versa with an auto for $400 more, or $1000 more for any other vehicles worth considering. My decision was ultmately made based upon the fact it has a tilt steering wheel the pov spec one didn't. I'm tall, and at least I used to be fat, 218lbs is kinda low for me.

Can't lie, one of the simple joys in my life is throwing a full-size Crown Vic around relatively mild corners with the pedal on the firewall and no fucks given.

For you Phoenix goons, I now live right behind Banner Estrella, and work in Mesa. 1300-0100. Traffic isn't terrible, but that middle 15 on the 10 has random slow downs. There's also a chance (interview on the 13th) that I may get a Trainer job at the same place for $25/hr, versus 11.xx now. But I'd have to drive the same route during rush hours, as it's a standard 9-5. I had to drive back from Mesa to Estrella at 1630 on both Friday and last Monday in the bus. Never again. Never again.
